I got a great deal on Amazon UK 

Picked up a set of BT4600 phones for my mother, got a triple set for 52.00Gbp 

Makes our Argos Ireland catalogue look like a joke book with the difference in prices 😀 they want €96.00 for a twin set of BT4600 phones.

Also saved loads on Amazon echo devices compared to purchase in Ireland 

Argos prices are up and down all the time

First thing came to my head was;

Have to take an elevator to get to my local Argos 😀

I do like the irony of the headline that cropped up on my Facebook yesterday...

 

"Snowman Rally Cancelled Due To Ice"

 

😁

I do like going through my stuff for a clear out and finding about 25+ ZX Spectrum computer tapes in an old suitcase. There's some proper classic games on those tapes including paperboy, gauntlet, scooby doo and 2 of my favourites, Knightmare (the CITV gameshow set in a dungeon) and the neverending story. 
Now I just need to find a way of repairing my ZX Spectrum (faulty RF output) and find a tape player that has both mic and headphone sockets (3.5mm) so the data can be transmitted.

......or download an emulator and the ROMs onto your computer or even your phone 😉

 

Not the same experience I know but maybe a bit less hassle.

Honestly it's a stealth tax and there's people and small businesses which can't afford a thirsty petrol or a new diesel. I'd probably have to opt back to my 1 litre Peugeot 107. Cheap to run as the fiesta but slow. Yes there is the 1 litre ecoboost but that's out my price range. 

just a way to sting the car drivers again

Isn't is just. Trying to plan this trip around Europe is a bleedin nightmare, the car is just endlessly penalised but if you're on a dirty stinking bus, thats  magically ok!

Luckily I'm off three days a week and only go in 2 days to uni. If only those two days were together not separate.

Lol I can't tell the teachers to rearrange seminars and lectures for everyone. 

Anyone have any valentines day gift ideas? Might go out after hospital and get something for my mum as she's the only closest woman to me.

good point sorry 🙁

Finding some replacement door handles for my upvc door. Mine has got very floppy over the years (the door handle!😀) and several local specialists have told me it's an old design, can't be repaired, only option is new door c/w modern locks and handles, cost a grand, blah, blah. Anyway found some on the interweb so ordered a pair - just hope they fit!

Yeah, my college tutors were funny that way as well! Although in my last term there were only 2 of us doing company law which was hardly worth booking a room for, so we had our tutorial over a pint down the pub - didn't mind that! 😀

As you said that one of my teachers once said to everyone we can all go out to the pub together and talk about work. Since then me and my friend would say this guy is a heavy alcoholic 😂. The way he'd teach we'd think he just came back from the pub. Once my friend was messing around with the blinds and he said to him 'are you blind that your trying to study the blind' after that I couldn't stop laughing 😂. 

In my degree I think it started off with 150 students but on the third year now a decent amount of people were kicked out. One of my friends I think had to redo some of his coursework last year and since the beginning of this year he never came back and stopped messaging me and the others. I'd personally try to do my best as it's £9k a year your adding of debt for this 3 year degree. 

Also liking the articles in the press today, such as "GPS creator mourns lost art of map reading" He's obviously not heard of Sync 3!😀
