Why was/is it that batteries are not included with toys?

 

 

As a now regular purchaser of kiddie's toys I can say that most toys I've bought in the past 21 months have had batteries included, usually with a wee plastic tag in place to break the connection while it sits in the shop, and which is removed at home (along with the metres of bastard plastic coated wire they use to secure the bastard things in their over-elaborate bastard boxes which then fill up your goddamn bastard too-small wheelie bin).

The plastic things usually for the try me's (though they are in some other toys) which staff are meant to take out, though i have a strict policy of non of the isles close to multimedia have the try me functions on, i dont know why, i wouldnt here it, i normally have a blu-ray on full hack from the big free bravia and ps3 sony provided us last year.

But thats about my knowledge from toys as i dont work with them, fuck if i'd work the shop floor i just sell stuff.

Why was/is it that batteries are not included with toys? I suspect it's because batteries used to leak after they got to a certain age (I haven't found a leaking battery in ages though).

They only really come with toys that have Try Me's, otherwise its just plain cost effectivness, but they are just for demo. I get sick of people asking for free battries because the demo ones have run out.

Sorry Red its just on the post above me.

Atticus' post has just made me pee myself, just a little but i'm still laughin now.

You've come to the right place — we've got a few spares.

I wish I had some advice or helpful words for Mick. But I'm not sure what if anything I do for myself in dealing with depression. I can't think of anything other than the obvious "do what the doctor says" stuff. After all this time I should have more to say about it.

Cheers man, to be honest anything helps i dont really understand my feelings at the min but it feels better having people who want to help. I just feel like a complete mental at the moment

Already into counceling. I'm trying to get out and work out. Sleep sucks i never sleep i even find it hard to sleep long on sleeping pills. Really really sucks when i'm down but thanks for the advice it does help. I've learned alot from people on here probably as i dont know anyone whos suffered with it.

i know i just feel i need to let it out sometimes .

I'm trying my hardest but just feel like i cant get through, honest to god i feel so down right now i really hoped i was getting better. And i wish to god right now i just had someone to sit with and talk about it, but i know even then i wouldn't know what to say. Just wish i understood myself.

After racking my brain i finally asked my nan about ginger snaps.... she said i was an idiot and there called brandy snaps!

I watched stardust last saturday and really enjoy it suprisingly.

This?

Oh my word, thats my kinda Batman.

I took me awhile to realise that aaron is claires baby, i really was fighting myself the whole episode deciding wether it was jack or sawyers i really didn't see the ending coming.

 

 

Dig deep and I think you'll find that Jack is Claire's brother. can;t remember the details but Papa Sheppard was sowin' some wild oats in Australia.

Oh yeah i forgot about that.

Ok i'm now upto date, well with the british aired episodes. The flash forwards are fucking awesomes, episodes 3 and 4 just ended with my jaw dropped! Bens reveal at the end of episode 3 and aaron at the end of ep 4.

Oh and the games story is pretty great it would of made an intresting inclusion into the show

Last night i watched Harvey Birdman attourney at law. And i actually Really enjoyed it. Quite funny though it would probably appeal to the likes of family guy fans, it was funny to see old cartoon characters in stupid(er) situations. Especially as i used to be fond of Birdman.

Mick, do you want us to congratulate you?

No but it was something minor.

Me and my mate played halo 3 from start to finish on Co-Op yesterday whilst getting steadily drunk from beer. By the end i thought my eyes were bleeding.

Sorry to here about your loss.

Ok now i'm trying to find what i refer to as ginger snaps but it seems all i get are ginger nut biscuits. Maybe it was only my nan who referred to them as ginger snaps. I havn't had them in years there like hard wafer thing ginger. Please someone help me with a search!

Are you talking about Ginger Snaps?

Assuming that means the same thing in the UK, then yeah. They're better known as Ginger Nut biscuits in Australia.

If you already knew why ask the question?

No ginger nut biscuits are completely diffrent over here, there quite thick. Ginger Snaps are really thin, like wafer, really hard, sometimes i could swear there hard caramel.

Yeah, thanks to inca i should probably be caught up by tonight so i can understand who all the new characters are.

As for the game they made it so if you watch lost you dont have to buy it as it dosn't have much to do with continuity (though it still feels part of the story) but if you dont watch lost theres no way you could understand fully whats going on. It skips about through certain points in the season, in the first 'episode' of the game i talked to sun who spoke only korean then a few 'episodes' down the line i spoke to her and she was speaking english. It really weants to be an RPG and could have worked. Theres so much untapped potential that it pretty much left it to only fans who want more and isn't that brilliant a game. Though i find it enjoyable it isn't worth £40-£50 quid. It would of been brillaint had it gone for a more Oblivion Mass effect kind of game.

You could dunk one of those very thin, hard, crisp cookies. Kind of like snaps. What are they called again?

Are you talking about Ginger Snaps?

While they are being mentioned

Why did KitKats stop being in foild wrapping? i dont like the plastic packaging.

Damn i wish i'd won. On my last hand i had everyone out apart from my mate who called my bluff and even then it was very very close, the last card decided it. Bastard.

Am i drunk.... just a little, went to the pub then got a bus to my mates house quickly learned to play poker then went to another pub to play poker (though not for real money, just side bets), i lost of course but were going back next week to kick ass. Drinking since just before four to just about ten always sits well with me.
