X-Squad

[antonydavanzo]

I think we should stop emailing the X Squad, poor guy is gonna have sore fingers responding to all the angry emails. IMO I think they will sort any problems out. Im just not looking forward to being tired on thursday

Its a team, they got enough fingers :)

[LEX]

He still haven't answered my email yet. Maybe I should send him an angry email, too. :o:down

[Pauluz]

Cool, see harashing them helps :p

Let's hope so, but why wait till monday!? If I don't get a good answer back, I will send a very angry one back!

[Roma]

Let's hope so, but why wait till monday!? If I don't get a good answer back, I will send a very angry one back!

You and me both, I can hardly believe Eindhoven is the only place it shows on Wendnesday.

You sending your adress yet ??

[union_jak]

I've heard nothing yet....

[antonydavanzo]

Im gonna wait untill Monday to see what is offered, I dont fancy travelling and going on my own IMO, my wife wont be too happy as she thought that she would aslo be going! Hey Lex where is your showing

[Roma]

They clearly haven't given this much thought

[antonydavanzo]

I've heard nothing yet....
They told me Monday. Its gonna be in London by all accounts so I guess we will ahve to wait and see. I cant be arsed to see X 1and 2 as I saw them last week and I get bad cramp at the cinema from more than 3 hrs of sitting!!!

[Pauluz]

I'm sending my address in a couple minutes, if i don't get an extra ticket I'm selling it! Well, Pathe is where most of the screenings/premieres are so I'm not really dissapointed by that.

[Pauluz]

They clearly haven't given this much thought

No, clearly and look at this dumb prize

http://www.xsquadbase.com/members/prizes.php

20€ bij de blokker en je hebt het al!

[union_jak]

I watched both the previous films the other day as well. Do you think they're trying to find a cinema in London that has a midnight screening?
Trying to make out we'll see it first because we start watching the earlier films, but we'll really just be watching the same time as everyone else?

I doubt it will be the premier if they aren't even sure whats going on.

[LEX]

They clearly haven't given this much thought
Obviously. :down

[Pauluz]

I got another e-mail:

Dear Paul,

I see your point, I will give you more info on monday, Don't worry

[Roma]

I'm sending my address in a couple minutes, if i don't get an extra ticket I'm selling it! Well, Pathe is where most of the screenings/premieres are so I'm not really dissapointed by that.

I think I'll wait untill Monday, I can hardly believe there won't be a screening at a Pathe in the Hague.

I asked Utopolis Zoetermeer if they had a screening on Wednesday, they said:


Is nog niet bekend, probeert u het maandag na 1600 uur nog een keer.

Met groet, Bedrijfsleiding utopolis Zoetermeer

[Roma]

I think I'll wait untill Monday, I can hardly believe there won't be a screening at a Pathe in the Hague.

I asked Utopolis Zoetermeer if they had a screening on Wednesday, they said:

I also send another email asking them to be a little clearer.

[antonydavanzo]

Oh dear......that is all Im gonna say.
have a great Friday night guys, maybe we can slag the X Squad off some more tomorrow, I have to do some work before I go home now.Ta Ta

[LEX]

I sent my rant email a while ago and got this back --



James

Don't worry we see your point we will answer to you on monday

Is it the same person? :o Anyway, Monday it is. They better not disappoint! First, short runtime. Second, bad reviews. Third, THIS? Gosh!

[union_jak]

Someone in another thread has just said that the UK Premier has been cancelled now, could this be why the X Squad are trying to find another place to screen it? Did we win Premier tickets in the UK?
Why are we in the dark like this, it's just not fair!

[LEX]

So, there will be no premiers at all around the world with the X-cast? Everything looks so uncertain around here. This doesn't look good. :down

[Pauluz]

I think I'll wait untill Monday, I can hardly believe there won't be a screening at a Pathe in the Hague.

I asked Utopolis Zoetermeer if they had a screening on Wednesday, they said:

Zoetermeer is still a long ride :(

[Roma]

Zoetermeer is still a long ride :(

Not for me :p

Seeing all the Pathe's spread through the country, there has to be one screening it closer to home :(

[Bastila]

You know the new missions aren't to bad bad i might have a go at them, also has anyone done a blog yet?

[union_jak]

I did the blog, got the points.
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&FriendID=48732328&blogMonth=5&blogDate=8&blogYear=2006



Now I'm wondering whether it was all worth it...

[Bastila]

Hey cool might send you a friend request liked your profile as well.

But good blog, im having a go at this missions since i didnt do last weeks.

[union_jak]

I probably won't accept...sounds harsh but I joined myspace with the intention of using it as a real friends thing, sorry :O

[Pauluz]

Hey Roma, I went to the Pathe website and apparantly you can order tickets for the marathon?!?!

[Roma]

Hey Roma, I went to the Pathe website and apparantly you can order tickets for the marathon?!?!

Yeah that marathon has been on the website for a few days now, but that one starts at 18:00

[Pauluz]

Maybe the e-mail was made in a different time zone.

[Roma]

Maybe the e-mail was made in a different time zone.

I'm thinking that, because the 11pm/12am makes no sense at all.

[Pauluz]

I'm thinking that, because the 11pm/12am makes no sense at all.

Indeed, and the guy said that there will be more details on Monday. I have a feeling they will have an extra ticket for everyone (atleast I hope so).

I'm kinda hoping for a screening somewhere else, no damn marathon, I'm always happy to survive 1 movie crammed into my seat :p

[Pauluz]

I could care less for X1 and X2 now, I just want to see X3. I wonder if they have food for us :)

[Roma]

I could care less for X1 and X2 now, I just want to see X3. I wonder if they have food for us :)

6 hours, that's a little to long for me :O

[union_jak]

I still haven't had my email about the film yet.
I got one for the poster, but it'd be reassuring to get one about the overall prize...

[antonydavanzo]

Hi all FYI I got my Cykes poster and its all ripped!!!!Another waste of time.

[LEX]

Was it signed by James Marsden??

Anyway -- I just checked the scoreboard and...


MY X-POINT THIS WEEK
0 X-Pts
MY RANK THIS WEEk
0
THIS WEEK RANKING
Rkg Name X-Pts


That's it. There are no names or anything. :o Is it just me?

[antonydavanzo]

Yeah it was signed. It looks really cool but allthe edges are ripped and there is a massive bit of the top missing. Its obvious they didnt care what state it was sent in. I have sent an angry email asking for another, if I dont get it then their bosses will be getting a call very soon!!

WTF! What do you mean that's yours, that's MY blog!

[antonydavanzo]

have you all stollen blogs then

[LEX]

Not me. This was my blog --

www.xanga.com/sharkey_pika

[antonydavanzo]

hey lex, have yo got your poster yet

[LEX]

No, not yet.

[grey_jeanie]

WTF! What do you mean that's yours, that's MY blog!

Oh crap, are people taking them?

[grey_jeanie]

I'm going to try some of these. What poster did you win Lex?

[union_jak]

Oh crap, are people taking them?

No, Bastila accidentally pasted the link to my blog instead of hers.

When checking blogs, the X Squad will only look at ones with usernames someplace on it. However, there's nothing to stop someone going on my blog and copying it all except for the name...might remove the link I put up...

[grey_jeanie]

What's the gain in it for them - us doing all these tasks and giving prizes?

[LEX]

I'm going to try some of these. What poster did you win Lex?
A poster signed by James Marsden. ;)

[grey_jeanie]

A poster signed by James Marsden. ;)

You kidding me? That's amazing. How many points are you on?

[LEX]

540 points. I'm ahead of everyone else in Aus.

[union_jak]

Does the Australian one still have overall scores and ranks?

The UK one is empty apart from saying my points are 0 and my rank is 0.

[LEX]

Yeah, it does that to me, too.

[grey_jeanie]

540 points. I'm ahead of everyone else in Aus.

wow. Does it end when the movies out?

[union_jak]

That makes me think they've got rid of the overall points are concentrating on weekly points, which makes sense since the overall prize has been won already.


I'm not sure how I feel about that prize after all. I'll wait until my email comes on Monday, but if it's just going to be a screening last thing on the 24th and nothing else, it'd feel like a waste of time and money. If I'll be going on my own, I'll probably say no to it all. I'm not used to London, and don't like the idea of going all the way there alone, finding someplace to stay, finding the screening and walking around London at like 3am. It's going to cost a load of money, the only way I'll say yes instantly is if it's the cast premier, but it sounds like that was cancelled (but I hope just postponed).

[grey_jeanie]

So, does the competition end when the movie comes out?

[union_jak]

I think so. The blog competition ends on the 25th. I think it'll end then.
I think they could've started the whole thing earlier; they'd get early publicity and it would take more points to win the big prize.

[Pauluz]

No, Bastila accidentally pasted the link to my blog instead of hers.

It wasn't an accident because she posted the link to my blog aswell!

[britrogue]

So who's going to continue with the missions then?

[antonydavanzo]

Im not doing any more missions now! Hey Paul nail the cheat, shes a bit naughty

[antonydavanzo]

So no news yet about this screening. I wanna date or I wont be able to go.

[britrogue]

Even though it feels as though we've watched the damn film already.

[antonydavanzo]

yeah, it doesnt look good at the moment.

[union_jak]

All my excitement and happiness has been drained since both the news about what the prize could be, and the spoilers about certain characters.

I'll see what the email will say, and then decide whether it'd be worth it for me.

[Pauluz]

Well, I'll certainly go to see the movie, no matter how I;'ve been spoiled. I just want to see the action, especially Wolverine.

[union_jak]

Oh, I'll definately be going to see the film, but I don't know whether it would be worth travelling to London alone and finding a hotel to sleep in if the film is on general release the next day anyway!

[britrogue]

yeah, it doesnt look good at the moment.

What? The film? You're kidding right?

[antonydavanzo]

the movie seems to be getting negative response

[britrogue]

That's because people are too damned picky. I have faith in the cast, and they say it's going to be the best.

[Pauluz]

That's because people are too damned picky. I have faith in the cast, and they say it's going to be the best.

Exactly, the movie itself is getting alot of 8's.

[antonydavanzo]

Still no news from the X Squad, has anyone heard when and where this screening is going to be?

[LEX]

My mom just got home and my poster just arrived.

[Pauluz]

In good condition?

[LEX]

Very. Nothing's ripped. It came in a cylinder-box. The poster's huge. :up: I can see Jimmy's signature.

[antonydavanzo]

lucky you, I asked for another one from the X Squad as it looks crappy. I cant understand why they would send out damaged goods like that, they couldnt really miss the tears and missing corner.

[Pauluz]

lucky you, I asked for another one from the X Squad as it looks crappy. I cant understand why they would send out damaged goods like that, they couldnt really miss the tears and missing corner.

Maybe it was customs Ant, I ordered a mini bust from Wolverine once, and apparently one of the customs people dropped it and I received it all broken.

[britrogue]

Guys, I think I may abandon the Boards for a while. Things are getting a bit too spoilerish for me now.

[antonydavanzo]

Na, its was ripped with about 3 inches missing from the top corner, it was in a hard tube so it wouldnt have got damaged, the annoying thing is that the corner wasnt in the tube which says to me it was ripped even before they sent it out.

[antonydavanzo]

see you soon BR

[Roma]

Guys, I think I may abandon the Boards for a while. Things are getting a bit too spoilerish for me now.

Just stick to the spoiler free threads, that's what I do :p

[britrogue]

Well, I did take a look in there, but there's not much being discussed at the moment. I've been really enjoying the speculation topics, but now that so many people have seen the film, it's a little difficult to speculate! People keep telling me what really happens! LOL

[LEX]

Sorry to hear about your misfortunate, Anthony. Sucks.

[antonydavanzo]

Yep,never mind eh!!! Apart from that its a cool poster

[Pauluz]

I'm wondering, what kind of posters did you guys get? Character posters or the teaser poster?

[LEX]

I got the US one-sheet. The big poster with Wolverine's claws in the middle. Nothing special, but the size is great.

[union_jak]

I got the email. It's being held in a hotel in North Soho at 6pm on the 24th. Nothing about how many tickets or if the cast will be there...

[britrogue]

Wow, that sounds cool. I'm trying to get tickets booked for the 25th at the moment.

[LEX]

I still haven't got my email yet. :o

[Sentinel X]

Just stick to the spoiler free threads, that's what I do :pBut even though...somebody always butts in saying 'Rogue dies' or 'Mystique gets a boob job'...They just say something thats very spoilerish...and they dont use FREAKIN SPOILER TAGS!!!

[antonydavanzo]

cool, just got my email, its at a nice hotel with ferrari seating!!!!!!

[britrogue]

Which hotel antony?

[LEX]

This is not looking good for me. :o

[Valerijan]

I havent gotten an email either..:(

[LEX]

The X Squad Commander hates me. I hope he hasn't forgotten.

[Roma]

No email here, Pauluz you gotten one ??

[Pauluz]

No email here, Pauluz you gotten one ??

Not yet! :down

Thank goodness to know I'm not the only one here. :p

We've all had that email last week, we're now waiting for an email from X-Squad on more info, since we all send them angry emails :D

[union_jak]

I've just had my reply from the Commander. He says they can only offer me one ticket. There's no way I am going there alone, so I'll have to turn the prize down and just wait 12 hours to watch it in a normal cinema.
Feels like such a waste of time. I've never heard of a prize like this for one person before. :(

[LEX]

We've all had that email last week, we're now waiting for an email from X-Squad on more info, since we all send them angry emails :D
Yay for angry emails.

He replied me with the "Okok -- we get your point. We'll contact you on Monday".

[Pauluz]

**** them, I've sent 2 e-mails today and still no answer!

[grey_jeanie]

When does this all finish? 25th?

Is it too late to win any good prizes?

I started it yesterday and I'm 9th in the UK lol hurah for crappy poems

[union_jak]

I've emailed my final email. I've told them that for all I did for the film I ultimately end up with nothing. I've turned the prize down, there's no way I would go alone. I'll see the film the following morning with my friends, but at least I will know inside that I won a national competion...

[Bastila]

You only get one ticket, thats no fun seeing it on your own, i would have expected it to say lus one gust that really sucks though, you might as well wait till the next day, and plus i thought you would have got to see it on the monday i wouldn't call the 24th a advance screening its only one day before i comes out.

[Roma]

I still haven't received my email, how about you guys ???

[britrogue]

So let me get this straight. ALL of you guys are turning down your prizes?

[britrogue]

Arghhhh!!! I have 110 points this week, and one poem left to be approved. Even if that is approved and I get the max available points this week, I STILL won't make it into the top ten. That is so unfair. I really wish I'd left my blog for this week now. I have to win something on this damned thing or I will go mad!

[Pauluz]

I still haven't received my email, how about you guys ???

Got this an hour ago:

Dear Paul,

We are trying to find the best solution for you. Don't worry we will answer to you as soon as possible

Should I send them another angry email? Should I wait? I'm afraid they'll forget about me.

[antonydavanzo]

so do you think you will get more than 1 ticket?

[Roma]

so do you think you will get more than 1 ticket?

I'm actually hoping for a showing closer to home, no 6 hour marathon across the country :p

[antonydavanzo]

I hope we al get more than 1 ticket, is that what you guys have asked for.

[LEX]

Should I send them another angry email? Should I wait? I'm afraid they'll forget about me.
Anyone?

[union_jak]

I hope we al get more than 1 ticket, is that what you guys have asked for.

It might be too late for me...already told them that if they can't sort it, I won't accept the prize.
They did say to me that they could only offer the 1 ticket and that was all, so I don't think they'll stretch to 2 in the UK.

[britrogue]

That's crazy though. They know that the majority of people who would have entered that competition would have been kids. What, are they going to sed kids out on their own?

[antonydavanzo]

send them another email LEx explaining that all of us here think htat this is BS

[Avalanche]

That's crazy though. They know that the majority of people who would have entered that competition would have been kids. What, are they going to sed kids out on their own?
They did put on an age limit. :p

I agree though. Who wants to go and see a film on their own.

[Avalanche]

But even though...somebody always butts in saying 'Rogue dies' or 'Mystique gets a boob job'...They just say something thats very spoilerish...and they dont use FREAKIN SPOILER TAGS!!!
That's because it's the spoiler forum. :p

Imagine the entire forum is in a spoiler tag. Only come in if you are prepared to be spoiled.

[LEX]

Just sent them another email.

[antonydavanzo]

Good, this is a bit of a shame IMO, ripped poster and a crappy ticket. The UK cinema does look nice though, Ferrari seats !!

[Pauluz]

What does that mean Ant? Ferrari seats?

[Valerijan]

damn it, i havent gotten an email with the location and time yet.. im startinge to get really irritated

[Pauluz]

Any news?

[LEX]

*checks Inbox*

Still no reply. This dude better not be avoiding me.

[antonydavanzo]

What does that mean Ant? Ferrari seats?
Not too sure mate, did you see the cinema at the bottom of the hotels website, it looks realy nice

[antonydavanzo]

They just got back to me about my poster, I have to take photos to proove it!! Fair enough.

[britrogue]

I've got my tickets booked. The first showing here in Hastings. 25.5.06 at 13:15

[britrogue]

Fancy a laugh? This was the mutant I made up for the evolve mission:

MUTANT NAME: Jet

POWERS: The ability to fly at supersonic speeds, can survive for a period of up to two hours without oxygen and has enhanced acrobatic skills. Apparently immune to changes in temperature; appearing unaffected by either extreme cold or heat.

HISTORY: Excelled in Gymnastics as a small child, and was entered into a National competition at the age of thirteen. Whilst flying to New York to compete, the plane was hit by an as yet unidentified magnetic force. (There is specualtion that this may have been the work of Magneto, but has not been proved). The right hand side of the plane was completely blown out, and I was sucked out along with the rest of the passengers. The only survivor of the accident, though it was a mystery as to how I had not only survived the fall, but had not drowned. I was taken to Hospital, and was visited by Professor Charles Xavier. He had heard of my miraculous survival and had used Cerebro to track me down. This was when I discovered that I was a mutant. I returned with Professor X to his mansion, where I had to undergo tests to discover what my capabilities were. It is now clear that my talent for Gymnastics was purely due to my mutation. I was codenamed Jet due to my powers and the fact that they completely evolved whilst on a plane.

SIDE: The X-Men. I firmly believe that every mutant has the right to choose as to whether or not they are "cured", but I do not believe it should be forced upon them. I oppose the Brotherhood as they pose a threat to humans and mutants with their seemingly endless taste for violence.

COSTUME: White catsuit with yellow and black stripes in honour of the passengers that lost their lives aboard the ill-fated plane. (The plane was a Monarch, white with black and yellow stripes) Black "M" on the right hip. White gloves and high heeled boots. The costume was designed with wind resistance in mind, therefore, it fits like a second skin. The yellow and black stripes run parallel to eachother from shoulder to ankle. Black belt.

[Bastila]

When do this weeks missions end , i cant find a date, i just got to make up a mutant and thats it.

[Pauluz]

Roma, I just found that the X-Men marathon isn't limited to the people that won the competition. In fact, there are several marathons being held that day!:down :down :down :down :down

The one on Pathe.nl started at 18:00, if I can't get tickets for something closer to home I'm giving them away :(

[LEX]

There's a chance I may get to see X3 next Monday. I just have to call this guy and arrange the tickets. Here's to hoping...

[britrogue]

Good luck Lex.

[Pauluz]

I've just sent them another angry e-mail, they would give us info on monday and its wednesday now!

Screw X-Squad.

I'm seeing the movie next Monday. ;) Turns out that there's an early screening for charity and it's not far from here. :up:

I hate you :mad:

[Pauluz]

I'm going to sell the tickets and the Pyro poster anyway. I can wait 1 extra day for the movie ;).

*sobs* I have to wait 3 more days *sob*

[LEX]

I hate you :mad:
I love you. :p

I could kiss a donkey's butt right now. So happy! :D Hey, Roma, everyone, don't worry. I'll tell you ALL about it.

[union_jak]

The easiest thing for the X Squad to do following all these complaints would be to forget about the prize of 1 preview ticket at one particular screening, and just send out 2 normal tickets for our local cinema.
I doubt I'll get anything now, I've already told them that I don't want the prize, but it would have been nice to have got something from winning.

I'm giving them a few more days for a response :O

Didn't it come in a hard cylinder-box?

[Pauluz]

Didn't it come in a hard cylinder-box?


Yes, but its obvious someone didn't put the poster in very carefully. Since I dont have a camera I made scans of it, pics coming up in a sec.

[Pauluz]

I have these scratches at the bottom left and right and at the top left and top right!

[LEX]

That's horrible. :down Well, take a look on the bright side. At least the poster's in one piece. Almost.

[Pauluz]

Its not in one piece IMO, I'm a collector of art and I've never had this experience before. The person that packed this up shouldn't have done it in the first place. How hard is it to put a rolled poster in a tube?

[Pauluz]

1000th post! YAY!

[LEX]

Pretty hard. I had to get my mom to help me roll the poster back up and put it in the tube again. :p It looks like he just squashed the poster right into the tube box.

[britrogue]

The X-Squad sucks. I completed all of the missions this week and still only finished in 11th place.

[union_jak]

I find it funny how none of the UK winners from the overall ranks are on this weeks scoreboard! I don't recognise any of the names from weekly ranks either, it's like most people have lost faith and given up.

I haven't bothered with this weeks tasks.

[Bastila]

Wow im 7th cool.

[Pauluz]

Did anyone receive their ticket?

[antonydavanzo]

hey Paul, the X commander emailed me regading my ripped poster and he claimed that he "personally oversaw the posters going in" . So now two poster look like they are ripped and badly damaged!!!

[antonydavanzo]

[britrogue]

Do it!

[antonydavanzo]

I will, I want another poster!! No ticket as yet though.

[union_jak]

Oooh, I just got an email from the Commander- I can take a friend!!

[britrogue]

Well, that IS good news.

[antonydavanzo]

Na, Im going to London to watch it. I need a night out so its a good excuse to go down there. Plus its at a lush hotel!

[britrogue]

Yeah, I probably wouldn't turn that down either!

[antonydavanzo]

Damn right, did you check out the hotel, I posted a link to it. Really nice IMO

If they're gonna make an issue of the fact I didn't respond before 1400, I'm gonna be ****ing pissed off, do they expect people to wait behind their computer for them, when they first said we would know on monday :mad:

[Bastila]

:O I'm really busy next week

[antonydavanzo]

Well this X squad is now done and dusted!!!!See you all on the other threads or when we post our review!!

[britrogue]

I don't get it? The only missions up this week are the X-Blog for 100 points, but someone is already on the board with 10 points? How the hell did they manage that?

[Bastila]

Well i done the blog so what else is that it and in the UK last time i checked last night the top 6 including me had the same points so how many points did the winner have.

[antonydavanzo]

Has anyone in the UK heard from Fox yet?

[Roma]

Any one hear back about their tickets ???

[union_jak]

I just had an email saying that if I couldn't make the London screening then they'd give me a ticket to any cinema of my choice.

I emailed back telling them I did still want to go, and should I have received my ticket yet.

They've just got back to me this second saying the Fox offices should be sorting it, but they need my phone number.

[Pauluz]

Any one hear back about their tickets ???

Nope

[antonydavanzo]

shambles, I need to know by the end of today or they wont be able to contact me

[britrogue]

Good luck everyone who is waiting for their tickets. I'm thinking of you! xxx

[union_jak]

I've been in contact with who I think are the actual promoters, and not the X Squad Commander. It's because they thought I didn't want to go, anyway, they won't be sending me tickets to the Hotel screening as my name is down on the list and thats enough for them!

She also said that there won't be any cast appearances due to Cannes. However I know that Patrick Stewart is attending the Radio 1 private screening tomorrow, and Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry are filming Jonathon Ross on Thursday!

None of the cast will be at the hotel, but I wouldn't say it's due to Cannes, more likely the screening just won't be anything special.

[Pauluz]

Anyone got their tickets?

[Roma]

Anyone got their tickets?

I got a reply today, asking for when I wanted the tickets.
I told them I had reserved 4 tickets for this saturday and wanted to know if I could combine that with the 2 free tickets, they said they'd try.

[union_jak]

So what did people think about the prize then?

We went to the hotel and were given free drinks before the screening, had our own security and a surprise guest!

I stayed around after to chat to him, he was John Bruno the Visual effects supervisor. He told us that Patrick Stewart played the braindead man at the beginning and in the end. He was at Muir Island because he was Charles' twin brother, which explained why he sounded the same and how Patrick Stewart can return in X4.

He said there was a deleted scene with Phat on Alcatraz, but they removed it because they thought being fat was just a strange mutation to fight with.

He said that when the X-Men line up for 'the last stand', they kept doing the Macarana, so watch out for that in the outtakes!

I don't think many X-Squad winners turned up in the end.

I'm a little surprised that no one asked us for our names, we could have been anybody...

Is anyone still doing the missions? It ends soon doesn't it?

[Roma]

Jeez, no response all week then I get this.......agian :mad:
