Only their second Irish store.

A special offer on the day is the Oxymoronically named 7 Inch Widescreen TV for only €244

Galway - land of the little people and TnaG. Must be this new targeted advertising that I've been hearing about.

Nah it is probably aimed at all those cultural artifacts such as Leprechauns, pucas etc hence "the little people". As for the targeted advertising and the opening date, perhaps this is some kind of temporal thing. Maybe Galway will be the new capital of Ireland and Maplin are planning ahead. Though by that time, the people in Galway may have shrunk to such a size that they only require 7 inch televisions. Isn't miniaturisation wonderful?

You'd drive from tipp tos ave €20 on a graphics card?
Surely the price of tuel and time wasted would cancle that out?
And I'm not even sure if the €35 thing is right or not.
I was hoping Arginite could confirm

MarkR

Can you buy online from maplins in ireland, or do you need to go through their .co.uk site?

You'd drive from tipp to save €20 on a graphics card?
Surely the price of fuel and time wasted would cancel that out?

well i figured i could go searching for leprechauns at the same time:D

seriously though, i havent seen a 9200 for €55 anywhere, €89 is the cheapest store price near me and thats more expensive than a 9600se from komplett, confussed is me but thats a topic for another thread

I decided to take a nice long walk there. It was jammed full of confused looking people and the good ould Galway Bay FM "roadcaster" was there, churning out tripe.

Purchase wise, I had me some 90 min CDRs at the insane price of 20 quid for 10 (I needed them, badly), 100 CDRs for 30 quid and some RJ45 heads.

Karl Hungus

I went over there hoping for some nice powerfull heatsinks, but they only had bog standard, not to mention madly over-priced, junk. And nearly 200 yoyos for a stick of PC2700 512!!! Get fecked tbh!

Feck all graphics cards too...

While I do beleive it's a good thing that there's finally somewhere in Galway that do components, maplins suck.
