Rocket_Dog (saving the world for cheap petrol, only joking R_D ) is looking for a favour, in between dodging bullets and bombs…….the lads out there need something to do so

 

“…. put a post up asking if anyone has any dvds, originals or good copies, they no longer either want or watch due to upgrading to blu ray or whatever, if they can post them out here to us, our dvd library is poor and the hadji copies in the bazaar usually have peoples heads in them lol. we all have external 500gb or 1tb passport hard drives but some of the films on them are so poor quality they are almost unwatchable. 

Post to us out here is free up to 2kgs and the dvds or copy dvds only need to be in a thin plastic envelope rather than the dvd box.
