Tempted to get this cocktail shaker set.

Cocktail Making Set, Cocktail Shaker Set 750ml Stainless Steel Bar Tool Set Bartender Kit with Wooden Display Stand by AYAOQIANG

Can't invite anybody around of course it will just be me in my PJs doing mixology for myself at 3 in the afternoon! :pac:

I bought this exact set myself. I mainly use the measurement in it, to make sure Im not becomming an unaware alcoholic!

(oh, ignore the selling price from some crazy Marketplace seller.. got it for about €40).

Use it with the app and it’ll indicate measurements - if you overpower, it’ll adjust additional measurement to make up for it.

To be honest - I only really have three cocktails at home - Espresso Martini, Mojito and Old Fashioned.

Now that's some set! I break my set out maybe once a month It's a bit of harmless fun for not a whole lot of money. €20 - €50 price range would suit most people's home needs.

I do like an Old Fashioned, I watched Mad Men over the Summer and got a bit of a taste for them. I love making whiskey/amaretto sours too.

Looking for <50 inch TV for father-in-law if anyone has any recommendations

Ta

We got our LG TV from Richer Sounds in Belfast last year during the Black Friday sale with a further £50 off. They have a very nice LG TV 55 inch for €549 with free delivery and a 6 year warranty.

Apologies, don't know how to rename link.

I bought a similar set over the summer, they're good fun. We watch a few YouTube videos and go from there. Some drinks turn out great, others not so much. Great price for the set. The set I got was about €20 but only had half the stuff your one does.

Maybe they changed the conditions of the offer so, or sold too many Switches, because I got one on that offer. Couldn't see any offers anywhere else apart from that.

I got this 50" LG Smart TV for a family member last week for €439- cracking tv for the price and a 'brand'. Not generally too concerned about brands, but they do get software releases to cure issues a bit more often.

Importantly for some, the LG (and Samsungs) have FREESAT rather than free to air. For your father in law this might be important as the channel guide and channel order is a lot more straightforward. A straightforward enough button push changes between Saorview and Freesat.

https://powercity.ie/product/50UN7000

There are a couple of variants too in Currys for another €50 I think that have a 'magic remote' for voice control etc, but this was not of interest in my family members case, but if it is you will find those models in Harveys, Currys etc. (All begin with 50UN - UN is for 2020 tv's, so if you see UM it is 2019).

You can of course spend another couple of hundred easy (including for LG 50"), but you are looking at features/qualities that your father in law is unlikely to notice!

Yeah we use parcel wizard about 4 times a month since it came out and never had one problem (only courier that won't ring me and ask me to pick it up from the local village 5 miles down the road

)

I had a similar issue a month ago. Got a text message about the delivery, I tried to change the delivery address and then it vanished. Money from my account taken but never delivered. Replies to my emails is of no use...we couldn't locate the item and asked me to send the details...no one answers the phone.

In contrast. Ive never had an issue and get 2 or 3 deliveries a month from them

I've used Parcel Wizard twice. Both times in the past 2 months. Both items mysteriously vanished once they got to Newtownabbey and were never seen again. Dpd couldn't have cared less. Claim off your insurance was their suggestion. Looked at Trust pilot and there are hundreds of similar posts suggesting negligence or theft by dpd. I'm not saying that they definitely took my items but I never received them and the sender didn't get them back. Beware.

I have used them numerous times without issues but a recent order somehow ended up set to deliver to my previous employer's address and I had a lot of problems trying to get it redirected due to the app and site being partly broken at the time.

I managed to finally get it redirected to a local shop but it never arrived and was then again set to go to the previous employer.

Customer service meant several long hold times, one who couldn't care less, and unfulfilled commitments until I finally got one who managed to sort it out. Took well over 2 hours on the phone though

I'd be wary of using them again tbh. Sure things can happen but their recent reviews suggest it's happening a lot these days.

What are peoples opinions on spending on Amazon this year?

Eish... Im a big, big Amazon spender and user. Love it. Very handy. Saved tons.

But im genuinely going to try avoid giving Bezos even more money this year. Try shop local all, people will really need it this year more than ever. And trying to avoid likes of UK brands here like Currys, Tescos, etc though to a lesser extent though of course theyre employing plenty of Irish too.

Sorry for being a pain in the butt in the thread.

It's a nice sentiment, but the problem (aside from the generally noticeably higher prices here) is the range of stuff just isn't there - particularly when it comes to tech stuff.

Also, most of the time you can get it quicker from Amazon than you can from most Irish shops and the shipping will be cheaper too (if you have Prime or go via PM/PW)

I used it twice recently for the first time. They were very fast. I received an email within 30 minutes of the packages being delivered to them both times and they shipped them onwards the same day.

Am I wasting my time hoping for a deal on the Nintendo Switch?

https://parcelmotel.com/services/

Press the 'get started' tab and follow the instructions, you will get a virtual address in Antrim, your package will arrive here first from UK, then it will be sent to a parcel motel drop off box which you will have selected during set up process, these are generally located at service stations around the country, it will cost 4.50 for each drop off, if ordering a lot of items from Amazon, and they are delivered individually, you could rack up a lot of delivery charges but I think there is an option to group into one delivery and remember to set up your new address on the Amazon site as well, I have numerous address, home, work, parcel motel, dpd, parcel wizard etc.
