    I've never had a single ad on Youtube. I've seen them in the US, but never here.

    The adblocker addons for firefox and Chrome stop those ads too as far as I know.

    Took me a while to get used to Chrome coming from Firefox. A month in though, I couldn't believe I hadn't switched sooner. Six months later and I'm still happy.

    Plenty of adverts on youtube in Ireland. Adblock is the reason you have not seen any yet.

    Stick on no script aswell, that blocks more crap. Takes abit of getting use to but speeds things up and stops tracking sites following ya and all that.

    You buy headphones, marked down from 100 to 35, they're pretty bad, is that a reason enough to return them(got away with it once before)?

    Will do. Was just concerned that it could be argued that they are fit for purpose, just bad at it.

    Thanks lads.

    thinking about replacing the power supply on my htpc since i changed the cooler from a stock to a shuirken I notice that the PSU makes more noise than I would like. Basically, I want one as quiet as possible and all it has to power is an i3 sandybridge, 3.5" sata HD (the current PSU is 180w). Any ideas? thanks

    Lol the irony..me giving advice on returns, and now I have to do same. One of the nose pads just fell off a new pair of glasses I got & I can't find the receipt. No idea if the credit card stub part is sufficient, I hope so or I'm down over 300:(

    Yes credit card receipt should be grand too

    http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/consumer_affairs/consumer_protection/consumer_rights/consumers_and_the_law_in_ireland.html
    If things go wrong
    If you have a problem with an item that you have bought it is always the seller who should put things right. As a general rule, the seller can either repair or replace the item. Alternatively, they can refund the costs of the item or service to the consumer.

    If you are not satisfied with the quality of goods or services you can:

    Return the goods to the supplier who sold it to you (you should not return the goods to the manufacturer)
    Act as soon as you can – a delay can indicate that you have accepted faulty goods or services
    Do not attempt to repair the item yourself or give it to anyone else to repair it
    Make sure that you have a proof of purchase (a receipt, cheque stub, credit card statement or invoice)
    You have no grounds for redress if

    You were told about the defect before you bought the item (for example, if the goods were marked 'shopsoiled')
    You examined the item before you bought it and should have seen the defect
    You bought the item knowing that it wasn’t fit for what you wanted it to do
    You broke or damaged the product
    You made a mistake when buying the item (for example, if you bought an item of clothing thinking it was black when it is actually navy)
    You change your mind

    btw ED have a read of the above too

    Yeah adblock is great but the author, god damn... he lays it on THICK.

    CAN I FEED MY WIFE? HUH? HUH?

    MUCH subtler ways to guilt people into handing over money.
