anyone lived in Frankfurt?

A mate of mine has just relocated to Frankfurt. Maybe temporary, maybe permanent.

Anyway, there's a few things he needs, but doesn't know where to go for.

Anyone know where he might get:
- a 5metre crossover-type network cable. Is there a maplin/pc world type of store popular in Frankfurt?

- Swan menthol filter tips (he can't seem to find filters of any kind, anywhere - maybe you have to ask for them). I googled them and found amazon.co.uk selling them - but not amazon.de.

- uk-european travel adapters. He has managed to find these but they seem to be about 5x the price of the uk. Any tips on Frankfurt moneysaving?

Any help much appreciated.

    Was just browsing a few places, and suddenly had a brain wave....Ebay!
    A lot of sellers ship worldwide, and a quick search finds me European travel adapters for 1.60 each (buy it now) inc postage to anywhere in Europe. Thats probably as cheap as I can buy them here.

    Also Swan filters for under £4, and crossover cables for £4-£5 for the 5metres he wanted...perfect.
