There was one of these in my store the other day (scanned at £13, had no SEL). What is the upscaling bit please? I didnt exactly know what it was, so I left it. Was that a mistake? Thanks IA

To be honest I don't know one end of a DVD player from another but I needed a new one and so got it anyway.

On the box it says 'Upscales standard DVD into 1080p' but I don't really know what that means

For £13 it is a cute little DVD player with a remote control so even if I can't see what the 'upscaling' has done I will be happy anyway.

They were free from one of the sexual health charities but as I lived within the city I wasn't eligible for them to be posted to me so I put in mums address.

As they were in limited supply I had to give reasons why I thought I should receive some. So I told them that I was a lonely farmer with a new large flock of sheep and week after week for months a big huge padded envelope full of condoms and lube arrived at mums house.

Your poor mum does she take a peek at your posts when you go to the bog HC

Spent a fair bit more later on when I picked up an Xmas tree & lights for next Xmas, some more cheap toys (sorry but cleared out K'na'G spirallingdown) and even made it home with 2 minutes to spare before 'He who shall not be named' turned up.

Anyone found a cheap portable DVD player here in NI? I thought I was getting one for £25 today but alas they couldn't find it in the stock room. Would really appreciate any PMs from the locals if they spot one :beer:

Trying to catch up
Caz Thanks for letting me know re emptying Kn0cknag0n3y just as well I didn't go tonight
Any of the dvd players I've found have scanned at the SEL price:(

On another note I did find the mary berry xmas cupcake mixes in N3wt0wnards, they had boxes and boxes of them. Must have go a new delivery of them as they were sitting at the end of an aisle in a big pile, only took the 1 packet but saw a lady with about 10 asking for discount at CS :eek: :rotfl:

Also DS got a DTD on the Tech Deck case for storing the mini scateboards, stickered at £8.50 (half price toy sale) but scanned at £10

Thats exactly what I said the other day, guess we now know who some of our lurkers are!

Hello greedy Facef**kers!

Sorry, its still raw:rotfl:

Yes, I can understand that given how things have evolved. Although I didn't feel a need to join I defended the actions of those who I thought were well intentioned. I even got PMs thanking me for that but now, with the benefit of hindsight and the lack of appearances of certain people, I'm not so sure that I should have given my support.:(

Pretty sure upscaling means if you put in a none Blu Ray/HD disc it will do its best to upscale the picture to that sort of quality but for it it to be any use you need a decent HD/LED TV.

I do what i tell my kids if you don't know ask google

I know what you mean Ex [STRIKE]decided[/STRIKE] dictated that we should have a 7 seater car for 5 people, 1 of whom was rarely in it (kid from 1st marriage). He bought a heap of junk from the auction which came complete with dings, scratches and even a broken wing mirror that wasn't listed on the auction details but he knew best. £500 and 4 new tyres later I'm driving an automatic (with flappy paddles should I feel the need to go into semi-automatic mode) with a fan belt that's about to snap and 3 windscreen wipers that need replacing seemingly only by the dealer as Halfrauds don't stock the ones my car needs. Oh and an mpg of around 25 :mad:

How on earth do people prefer automatics to manuals. Unless it's the car I have, how do you do something so simple as just edge forward a bit without either taking off up the street or almost stalling? Give me clutch control any day. Anyone wanna buy my car :rotfl: But apart from that it's .... nah it's still a heap of

We've had windscreen wipers from mr T's before & they have been as good as any others we've tried, maybe worth a look!

And you. My local is Stockton Extra so if you see me posting without mentioning a store that's what I'll be referring to. They have the flystrips in my local but I only took one to "tick the box":rotfl: as I know from previous experience that they are worse than useless:)
