From what I've read it's just a very expensive gimmick

Wish I'd found those reviews, I'd only put it in my Amazon basket out of curiosity, daughter wanted something I just went buy it now, next thing email saying thanks for your purchases.

The internet's a bad place for stupid old people

My friends girlfriend breeds frenchies, you make an absolute ton of money from selling them.
I've seen one sold for £6.5k before, thats insanity

Yeah, they're very popular, so breeders want to cash in. IIRC, the French Bulldog is the most popular new breed in the UK at the moment, and has been for a few years. It's a lot of money if you keep breeding them hard and selling litters. The unscrupulous ones only think about the money rather than the animal's welfare. The high profits attract the dodgy breeders.

We checked the dam for scars and she was clear.

Some of the less scupulous breeders are not above having a show dog in a family home for you to look at, while they ship the puppies in from a puppy farm. Did you get a video of the mating too? :eek:

Or did they just show you the (small) turkey baster?

Out of interest, how much was it?

No, I had to take the breeders word on the conception, but the dam was clearly the mother by the way she was interacting with the puppies.

Been mooching about in Poundland again. More Blu-rays.

Digital X · 21 Aug 2018 at 13:59

Not bad for £4 (That's GOLD not OLD!

)

The Medal of Honor and Farcry - both back when they were bloody awesome. Nice catch!

Digital X · 21 Aug 2018 at 14:04

Indeed it is, never got around to playing Farcry completely. Also Rome will get me into those grand strategy types too.

Swinbag · 21 Aug 2018 at 14:29

Wow, definitely some golden oldies there

many fond memories of MoH:AA.

G-MAN2004 · 21 Aug 2018 at 14:44

Far Cry and MOHAA were my two most played games during my teenage years. So much nostalgia. Shame both franchises suck now.

Well good games but I hope you got them new on as I know one has a steam key ( Dark Messiah ) maybe dungeons as well and isn't frontline games for windows live

Digital X · 21 Aug 2018 at 15:11

They're all 2nd hand. It's CEX.

I installed Dark Messiah without a key, just ran through the installer.

They're £500 in Poland. Lots of puppy farms are out in cheap countries, bring a few over and sell for 2k a pop. Easy money and pretty much no laws to stop you, even if you're completely inept and breed dogs with future health problems.

There's quite a few laws. You need a pet passport for a start.

There was a case reported here a few months back about sickly puppies that were shipped in from Irish puppy farms and window dressed into a "family home" to make them look legitimate. They reckon a gang of six sold approx 5000 puppies and made about £2.5 million.
The dodgy vet involved got a suspended sentence that was increased to custodial after appeals. There's always ways around the rules if you're willing to break them and no one is checking. They eventually prosecuted them for fraud rather than any animal related laws.

My copy of the new GW Adeptus Titanicus arrived yesterday, it basically sold out everywhere within minutes, so I was very lucky tonym pointed me in the direction of a store that still had stock when I got an email from the place I'd originally ordered from telling me "sorry we over sold our allocation, as a huge favour to you we'll sell you this bundle that has almost the same bits in it for only and extra £20".
