Lucky brother, not so lucky me

[Nikolai]

So I've had the iPod Touch 32 GB on my wish list for a few months now, drooling and longing and ultimately got around to decide that I would buy it this week, as soon as I got the money in that I needed. Which was today, just too late to reach the shop before it closed...

But before I got that far, I met my brother jumping and screaming around in the house, totally extatic. Why? He had just got a mail telling him he won the first price in this competition. An iPod Touch 32 GB. Just how much do you think he bragged and teased? You've got one guess.

So the question is, what to do? I tried to offer to buy it from him, but to no avail. I fear I need to unleash the full fury of my tickle feather...

Oh, and the shop opens tomorrow morning. I'm so going there.

The only sensible solution to this problem is fratricide.

[OneFootInTheGrave]

one night in chains for your brother is sufficient for him to learn the lesson I'd say.

[Dinner]

Beat him up and take his Ipod.

[Krill]

Hang him form the top of the stairs by his ankles at first, then by his neck when he says no.

[DaShi]

Establish a loving relationship built upon trust and respect and then ask him for it.

[MrFun]

You're not willing to kill your brother for it?

[Asher]

I'm not sure why this is a thread.

[Nikolai]

MrFun: Oddly enough, no.

DaShi: You don't know my brother. We have such a relationship, but nevertheless...

Asher:

Do one better than him and get yourself an iPhone. 3G support + Phone.

I'm not an apple fan at all, but the iPhone is one of the best purchases I have ever made. There is a lot of information I need quick access to, and the iPhone gives me that, the AppStore is of equal value as the Phone itself. I clear my emails before I even reach office, I watch high quality TED videos, play a game maybe, check exchange rates, check weather in countries I am traveling to, using an app, I double it as a USB drive (8gig). Of course, most of this you can do with the iTouch, but without 3G support, you are disconnected from the world.

Imagine what happens if you were stuck in the middle of the Sahara!?? If you're stuck with your brother, you're screwed. If you're with me, we're saved!

Don't listen to Asher, he has a pencil stuck up his arse and a flu.

[Asher]

Still not sure why this is a thread.

Can we brainstorm possible reasons?

[DirtyMartini]

I find the fact that the OP contains the words "tickle feather" extremely disturbing.

[Japher]

This is a clearly a thread to show the supperiority and cunsomer appeal that Apple has on the market over any other company in the world.

And, to annoy Asher.


Best Thread Evah!@

Pray to God that he gives you one. Your religion does involve prayer right? :desire:

I bought some sexy clothes pretty recently.

My MacBook Pro's battery died after 1.5 years. Not impressed. Took it to an Apple Store to get it fixed. Took an hour of convincing the "genius" at the genius bar that when the maximum charge is -65536 mAh something is wrong. Finally convinced him.

FACT: They don't actually check if you have AppleCare. They ask you and work on the honour system.
