Has anyone got this from Argos:
Buy Hoover Spirit Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner. at Argos.ie - €55.99

As my Dyson motor packed up a while ago, it will cost €80/€40 non-Dyson part to fix & see this as a good alternative as the Henry hoover is ok, but takes ages for carpets

Any reviews on it, thanks.

A few reviews on the UK site.http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Search/searchTerm/2286516.htm

Thanks, never thought of checking the UK site, wonder why there aren't many reviews, if not any on the IE site?

Judging by one review:
Bought this Vacuum cleaner before the E.U ban high powered machines,
I forgot about that, looks good as well on pet hairs, but was wondering on the product no.

and it has an E energy rating so not good when the electricity bill comes in

We don't all live in stately piles muffler! Quick run around my bungalow with a vacuum cleaner would take about 5 minutes. Not going to make a dent in my electric bill. Not when I boil about 5 kettles for hot water bottles!

Yeah I saw that as well, as i heard it was good for pet hairs, with the strong suction, although it might cut out the middle-man/ground by putting the hoover on the dog?

I have been on the lookout for a sound bar for a while.

After somereserch I bought this one yesterday. Great value for the price. 4.1 , active amp, great sound etc

It also has Bluetooth (not advertised for some reason)

It came with every connection including an optical cable.

If it is not in stock it can be ordered for collection

I had a kindle touch and sold it to buy this. This has a built in light in the screen like the paper white but its less than half the price. I've had it in daily use for nearly a year now with no issues to report, although some forums report problems with screen freezing. There are three nook glowlights in my house, very popular!

The books are just a different format .epub, probably be around the same price if your buying them....the light tech is old on these and the new kindles are far better...but at this price they are great!

You can convert any e-books using software and you can also install android on the Nook in parallel with its own OS and install the Amazon e-reader app. It's also got a micro SD card slot.

Great things.

How do you go about all of that ?

Google rooting nook glow light and you'll get all the details. You'll need a micro SD card to do it though. I'd recommend having two because you can use one as a copy of the original software in case it all goes wrong. It's very easy to do you copy the files to the SD card and it auto runs everything if memory serves.

Worded of warning: Makes sure you get the glow light rooting files and not the standard nook files. That carelessness caused me a lot of unnecessary problems.

I understand that Amazon wont deliver perfumes, after shaves etc to here. At least thats the way it was when I last ordered about 2 years ago

Because it's not available in a lot of stores, also highlights that it's not exactly a bargain.

Use Parcel motel with Amazon.

Not sure, I've ordered it anyway to Parcel motel with no problems.

Persisting? I only mentioned it once.

I've a pamphlet here with a how to guide as I predicted your question. Send me on your address.

No need. Here's a screen grab showing on the left hand side where amazon wont deliver to Ireland and on the right side the exclusions in relation to non mainland UK deliveries.

Could it be that Louis Van Haal is buying from a seller and not directly from Amazon or might not be the same product.
