I think the linx tablets or bush windows tablets are better bang for your buck for this price, although they are not android, they have fast intel processors and are smooth for web browsing. These tablets have slower processor and its 3 versions of android behind.

If was looking for a good android tablet id spend a bit more and get a hudl or nexus 7 2013, although sterling is so strong now its tough to get these cheap.

Its illegal if some joe off the street says he'll horse in for a hundred quid. DIY is fine but installers need to be certified. The lads in the home security forum have the ins and outs.

It's not illegal, just certifiable for insurance reasons. If it were illegal we we'd all be criminals for changing our lightbulbs instead of using an electrician.
And argues would be sued for supplying illegal goods.

Yes it is illegal, check the private security services act.

Its not illegal to sell them not to buy them, just to installed them for someone else uncertified.

its in the name PRIVATE SECURITY SERVICES ACT, which doesnt apply to homeowners the same way Taxi regulations don't apply to car drivers

In short, yes. No need to read the thread back, I can send you a reservation code for a taxi if you want. Have a few spare.

Just wanted to say id highly suggest that case. Fits perfectly, leaves all the ports open and gives a lot of security

Leave modding to the mods I say.

Complains about there being more off topic chat than bargains
Doesn't post any bargains themselves but contributes to the off topic chat by posting complaints

LG 24MT46 24 Inch Full HD LED TV €159.99 link and €10 voucher this weekend

peckerhead · 29-01-2015 12:18PM

Sorry if this is slightly OT, but is there anyway of browsing the whole Argos catalogue while restricting search results by price? (i.e. not just once you've narrowed your search down to "Home&Garden\Furniture\Bedroom\...." (etc.))

Reason I ask is I've reserved items in my local store to the value of €49.90 and am loooking for the equivalent of an Amazon "top-up" item to nudge it over the €50 mark and get my €5 voucher...
