Dos_Box Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Check out the IT equipment Aldi has in on Sunday the 18th. Some nice cheap devices there. http://aldi.co.uk/
plock Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 We have the remote control wall sockets for the speakers in our atrium areas; they're like 10 feet up the wall! They work really well though!
Halfmad Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Lidl did those remote sockets years ago, very, very good especially if you have elderly relatives who can't reach behind sofa etc or like me you're just lazy. Not great if you have kids though - mate of mine has no end of trouble with his toddler turning stuff off after she picked up the socket remote thinking it was for the TV (she fires it like it's a gun and mashes keys).
PEO Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 ha I was just about to say thouse are for lazzy people, but then i read this - Great for people who have trouble manoeuvring or bending to reach switches. fair enough and good value
strawberry Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 ha I was just about to say thouse are for lazzy people, but then i read this - Great for people who have trouble manoeuvring or bending to reach switches. fair enough and good value i spotted those on ebuyer yesterday and thought how crazy they are. Then i realised i could turn my tv/light/stereo off at night without leaving the bed! , woohoo!.
tech_guy Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Wow, the height of slobbing! Pass me another beer!
localzuk Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 I've been planning to set up an X10 home automation system at some point - then I could do everything from my PDA. So i've been holding off on buying these cheaper things.
ICT_GUY Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Aldi, for when Lidl isn't quite Pikey enough.
tech_guy Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Aldi, for when Lidl isn't quite Pikey enough. ROFL
torledo Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Aldi, for when Lidl isn't quite Pikey enough. Seriously, you shouldn't use that term. It can very offensive to the travelling community as one mod has previously advised in a previous thread.
russdev Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Yes lets keep this on topic shall we.. Russell
Oops_my_bad Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Aldi, for when Lidl isn't quite Pikey enough. Seriously, you shouldn't use that term. It can very offensive to the travelling community as one mod has previously advised in a previous thread. Hmm.. but how would a travelling person be a offended? Unless I'm very much mistaken they don't usually have internet access and so can't see these boards, unless they're stealing someone elses wifi (oops there I go generalising again).
localzuk Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Teddy, please don't troll - there have been quite a number of threads where they have gone off topic because of comments like this causing grief. There is no reason to continue that line of commenting other than to trouble-make. One thing about Aldi - they used to sell apple pie cookies for 49p a pack. They do sell some brilliant products at really good prices sometimes! It's actually quite annoying that I don't have one near me!
ICT_GUY Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikey It means the same as chav nowadays. Meaning has morphed along with a lot of other words over the past 20 years.
OverWorked Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Being German, they sell a lot of German food - like Frickadellen (big fat burgers) and amazingly cheap Stollen Cakes at Christmas - better than M&S at a fraction of the price. I always wonder who they're selling this German food to. I only know one German around here. I'm wondering off topic now... food mmm...
Dos_Box Posted November 15, 2007 Author Posted November 15, 2007 Me. I lived and worked in Germany for 7 years. I love frikkies and just brought a stollen the other week (the kids ate it, honest!).
ICT_GUY Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Agreed its the same stuff here and there, I used to live in hamburg and its nice to get the stollen this time of year.
Ric_ Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Don't forget the various types of sausages, sauerkraut, mustards and weissbier!!!
