I've got one of those, do you happen to know what the cheapest tariff thingy is?

Forget that, Google answered. Silly me,

Google Chromecast from Amazon for £18. Usually £30 so thought it may have been a mistake but just got an email to say it was dispatched :)

Gutted I keep missing out on this at such a great price.

Some gold plated component video (RGB) leads from Amazon to connect my DVD recorder to the new TV. ( Allows progressive playback mode )

Attachment 25700

I'm currently using a composite video and sound set (white/red/yellow)to carry the RGB signals but they must be degrading it somewhat.

Sorry, Gary, I don't know what you mean.

What I mean is small notes for bars and restaurants, for drinks/snacks/meals, so I don't get hit for credit/debit card transaction charges.

Don't forget to haggle. don't pay the asking price. you should get some good deals.

Just bought my wife the most basic Kindle for her birthday. She didn't want the others which are a lot more expensive.

Now looking for another refurbished laptop to put Linux on so my son can have one for school and wife/daughter another for playing. Really just need to browse, read email, do scratch and watch DVD's and not a lot else. I like Lenovo Thinkpads as I know all the bits work and I can get T60's for under £150.

Found the laptop, others have commented Linux works fine (and I've put Mint on the similar T60). Probably need to source a new battery, got a nice one cheap on Amazon for the T60.

I'm sure I've seen that in the shops for £12 (while Currys sell it for £30 :rolleyes:)
