I replaced no end of brand name kettles one after the other (often with a brand name kettle only lasting a few weeks) for one reason or another .e.g leaking or element overheated etc
Then I said to myself feck it I may as well get a sub 9 euro kettle from Tesco and if it breaks Ill have money saved from turning down the brand kettle anyway. Its working hard and looks good 2 years later.

Service people will tell you - buy a plastic kettle the metal ones expand and contract like crazy and all leak eventually.

To the person who removed the 8GB USB Drive in Ballybrack from the wrapping, I wish you well in the future.
Hardly worth going to court for €1.50 though :eek:.

Yeah that 120% bit was bizarre, I assume it's a typo of 20%? and don't worry, I wasn't having a go - though my phrasing was poor - I just happened to read that article a couple of days ago and thought it was more than fitting.

The particular model that BackBlaze calculated to have such an unbelievable failure rate was the Seagate Barracuda Green (ST1500DL003). The figure exceeds 100 percent because not only did these drives fail, but the ones they were replaced with under warranty did too.

:eek:

Was in Tesco Carlow earlier and picked up the following:

Wreck it Ralph Blu Ray - €2
Game of Thrones Season 2 Blu Ray-€2
Kirby Epic Yarn Wii Game -€2
Babyliss proNano hair straightener-€2.37
New Oz movie Blu Ray-€2

They put out 1 breville toaster and kettle but wasn't quick enough to grab 'em.

Cantona's Collars

Any bargains in Wexford or Gorey,last time I was in Wexford it was like the contents of a bad stall at a market had been tipped into baskets on the shop floor.

"The Seagate Barracuda Green 1.5TB drive, though, has not been doing well. We got them from Seagate as warranty replacements for the older drives, and these new drives are dropping like flies. Their average age shows 0.8 years, but since these are warranty replacements, we believe that they are refurbished drives that were returned by other customers and erased, so they already had some usage when we got them."

Also they previously said that 'green' drives just aren't suitable for backblaze.

"These drives are designed to be energy-efficient, and spin down aggressively when not in use. In the Backblaze environment, they spin down frequently, and then spin right back up. We think that this causes a lot of wear on the drive."

So they, refurbished drives that are totally unsuitable for the task they've given them.

Again not defending seagate they're ****e but the figures are totally out of context.

That username! :pac:

Has anyone been near Crescent SC for any of these iPods? 16gb would suit as the reduced 8gb I picked up a year and a half ago (2 and a half years ago?) is very limiting size-wise.

Game of Thrones Season 2 Blu Ray-€2

Just finished season 1 last night (Im late to the GOT party) ... perfect timing to grab season 2 for €2 ...

was it yellow stickered or does the actual bluray barcode scan at €2 ? (reason I ask is because it might be store specific - thanks )

roxybargains

It was yellow stickered. There were two copies just sitting in the basket. They werent on the shelves

Got Avatar blu-ray for 50c also ipad mini smart cover(blue) for 1.90 in Ardkeen, Ben 10 Galactic racing for DS, nothing much else I could see, all this stuff has to be gone by tomorrow so if your buying something ask is there are any further reductions, there was a Navman satnav in ballybeg last night was marked at €45 but I would guess you could get it for a lot cheaper if you ask.

Just back from Portlaoise got the following:

Avengers Blu Ray - €2.50
Boardwalk Empire 1St season Blu Ray-2.50
Ben10 Wii - €2.50
Also got about 12 DVDs for €1 each
Angry Birds in Space 2 game - €2.50
Angry birds millennium falcon game-€5
Breville toaster-€9.16

Down the back of the store where tvs are the staff were pricing the dvds and blu rays down. The staff were going down and taking all the good stuff for themselves as usual. One particular staff member was stock piling various movies behind the electrical counter. There were 10 avenger assemble blu rays in a box i got one the staff member took 8 and 1was put into the bargain bin....typical.

Tinie

The differences in pricing for each store is odd. As in waterford, Avengers on blue ray was €1 for example, and they had about 20 copies of it.

Don't suppose anyone has seen these anywhere else? I'd love either at those prices!

Just back from Ashbourne store - Boardwalk Empire Season 2 is on the shelf at €5, two copies - it's a regular white shelf sticker/label and not the yellow reduced stickers in case anyone is looking. I was tempted but I have it already so leaving behind for other boardsies (hopefully!).

Got a hdmi auto switcher for a euro, which I was very pleased with, couple of Ben 10 figures for 50c, angry birds star wars soft toy for 10c, hair bobbin ball thing 10c, mini Batman figure 10c, Lego mini figure 33c for some reason. Nothing great but kids liked the rooting around to find stuff. Tesco Carlow.

Where about in the store ? Can never find anything reduced when I'm in it. Were they marked down or did you check price at scanner?

Jay, just wondering if you scanned them? Don't take the price displayed on the shelf as the price! Staff are either too busy, forgetful, lazy or maybe even haven't been told what the prices are supposed to be and to change the stickers. No harm in checking!
