Who has bought a Black Friday Deal?

A few things: 64GB 60MB/sec Transcend SD card for £10, Chatham deck shoes for £34, Kindle paperwhite w/o ads for £90.

Actually I can, that particular one is actually in the dictionary although its status is questionable because of its double negative status...but I can make up any word I want like bumble****, ****puffin or ****womble...hey if they get used enough they might even get added to the OED that's the wonderful thing about the evolution of language :p

You may have made those up (and please star out naughty words in future please) but irregardless is actually a word. Just a very, very, old one
 
Didn't go looking for Black Friday deals but while I was price checking some dehumidifier tablets for Mrs Nod's car (blocked scuttle drain + 4" or rain = soggy carpet!!!), I spotted that packs of 4 in the Black Friday deal were only a couple of quid dearer than packs of 2 so went for a pack of 4, then spotted that my favoured coffee pods (Costa Latte for Tassimo) were £3 per pack of 8 rather than £4.50 or so so went for 3 boxes of 5 packs of that too. Of course, the wide bore shower hose I originally went to Amazon to look for wasn't on any Black Friday deals!!!

Very good - don't forget to keep an eye on it on JL website for the next month, as mentioned in other thread about the refund of any further discounts.
 
I hadn't bought anything, but I now blame Garry for pointing out that the Lencarta discount is still valid..

meh fair enough although I fully expected the swear filter to pick those up and didn't notice that it hadn't, but on a side note the swear filter is slightly odd on this for forum, given that it stars out the swear but not completely as it leaves the first and last letter of the word in place which is extremely pointless really as unless your a complete mental incompetent which I appreciate there are a fair number around even here it's perfectly clear what has been said...so you have to wonder what was the point in the censorship if your not going to do a proper job of it

IIRC, swear filters can be set to "Exact" or something else, so "lens" might be picked up but "lens" and "Lenses" wouldn't. Made sense because there's no point in banning Arsenal or Scunthorpe (other than the fact that football should be banned!!! :P:P:P) but the swearies they contain might cause offence.
Again, IIRC, members of the admin team as well as a greenie or 2 have been known to use the "c**kwomble" word!
 
There's nothing offensive about cockwomble, it's merely the male gendered counterpart to the female henwomble.

I drooled over a 49" HDR TV for 699€ on an Amazon Flash Deal. I need a new TV. I had 13 minutes left to think about it. But I decided to wait til after Xmas. Leaving me wondering if I'd been a fool not to take advantage. That's what they do to you see! Damn and blast!
 
Some more Philips Hue lighting and an Echo Dot for me....

Thanks. I normally use idealo.co.uk price tracker. As it is not limited to just Amazon. But regarding the TV, I need keep an eye on any TV that fits the budget. In case a better one is suddenly cheaper.

I wasn't aware of that site, so thanks. I use amazon quite a lot so only managed to find that other site...
Go for a nice shiny OLED one..... :-)

I bought my original Echo from the US as it wasn't available in the UK at the time, then connected my Hue lights to it and have around 8 Hue bulbs around the house, only problem being that I had no voice control upstairs unless I yelled, so bought a Dot for upstairs. Fantastic kit, although I do miss IFTTT support, had some really great recipes going on using that.

Might have to upgrade my original Hue bulbs though as the 700 Lumens versions are quite bright enough, especially compared to the 800 Lumen Hue White's/Lux I have.

I didn't bother with the echo as read reviews about it and people said the speaker wasn't amazing for music, and as I have a sonos set up, I thought I'd just get the dot and await for sonos integration, it's coming January apparently.

We don't currently have any hue bulbs upstairs, just the newer coloured bulbs downstairs into 2 lamps, so the room really does look good with the scenes....

I can't believe how much we use it to be honest.... I'm considering changing the home heating system now [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

What's IFTTY??

If This Then That

A useful web tool for generating custom actions/notifications. As an example, I use it to get email notification of local frost warnings.

Ah ok, so it's a skill for the US Alexa. Maybe it will come over here eventually.
 
IF This Then That, you can trigger actions based on location or events, really good!!
