    Check out the history of Boss AG and you might not be in such a hurry to keep buying the products of this company

    Did you know that they designed and produced the Nazi SS uniforms?

    No agenda in this post - just don't feel that this board should be promoting any brands that have such a chequered history... bargain or not!

    Yeah better dump Volkswagen, IBM, Ford and never drink Coca Cola or Fanta again along with never touching any medication manufactured by Bayer along with avoiding Standard Oil. Or use Allianz insurance

    Also don't forget to make sure get people to avoid Chanel and Christian Dior and also stop the ladies buying Louis Vuitton.

    Also make sure to never drive a BMW or Mercedes and chastise any you see doing it.

    If Boss producing uniforms upsets you make sure you dump all phone and computer tech too as a lot of components come from Israeli company's who no doubt had links to government who have not so great times with Palestinians. Oh and dump any of your stuff made in China given its carry on towards it population.

    By the way Hugo Boss is fab ;)

    You forgot about never driving on the autobahn because you never know which part Hitler was responsible for.

    My mam was going shopping so I asked her to get me make up. There was 10% off it so I got 2 bottles for €59.40 instead of €66.

    Except I gave her my bank card and told her to buy herself and my nanny lunch. Which she did. With wine.

    So yeh.

    No bargains for moi!

    ****in worth it though. Going out tonight and had no make up. I'd sooner have used emulsion on me mug than gone to the shops this weekend.

    :p

    Nothing unfortunately. I was keeping an eye on a The North Face jacket across a few sites but the black Friday sale price was higher than some previous reduced prices on those sites.

    Think I'll grab an Amazon fire tab tonight alright. My last tab, a Samsung tab II, which was also a BA a few years back has gone AWOL. I probably left it in a hotel somewhere.

    If it's the tab I was looking at earlier I'd reconsider... low screen resolution and only 1GB RAM really isn't enough anymore IMO. You want Full HD and 2GB minimum and they don't seem to do their own one in that spec

    The Hisense went down to £300 but as someone said it was for less than an hour on Thursday morning around 7:30 am, I just happened to wake up up then and noticed the Camelx3 alert

    Amazon usually add on the difference in the vat rates so the price will go up slightly
