Got an e-mail the other day saying that Dabs had finally accepted our affiliate request (the one made back in February or something).

But, on top of that, Dabs are doing free delivery on items over £50, including no weight surcharges, so if you want to buy a fancy TV from Dabs, you might want to click the link below.

Anyway, here's the referral url:
http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=50662&a=1316529&g=16472718

That goes to the homepage. I'll go have a look if there's one for specific products after I remember the tradedoubler passwor... ah, just remembered it. :)

...hmmm, doesn't appear to be product specific ones we can use.

Um, commission rates are: 3% on general sales, 2% on laptop/plasma/lcd, 0% on UV.


Oh, and whoever controls the links box in the top right, the ebuyer program was closed, so we should remove that link?

Done, amended, etc. Thanks!

Grand! I've just got to remember to use it next time I order owt from Dabs then :)

Get a marker pen and write it on your monitor?

I still have Freeserve's Tech Support number on my monitor :)

Still using your old steam-powered CRT then?

 

:S

Yeah, but it's nice. I'm still surprised how much better colours look on a decent CRT when compared to an LCD.

 

And there's a guy up the street who delivers steam once a week so it's esy to run too.

Hehehe! Fair play to you Rich.

 

Personally I prefer my TFT [colours make little difference to my old eyes] and oodles of desk space.

 

And it's [allegedly] cheaper to run and greener, though it looks silver and black to me...

 

:D

Hehe. I'd take it back and complain it's not green by any measure of the imagination!

 

My girlfriend's got a nice Xerox 19" widescreen which triggers massive screen-envy.

 

I'm gonna two of 'em when I move back in with the parentals so I've got a nice 38" widescreen - will be great for flight sims, like looking out the front of a cockpit :D

 

</saddo>

Ummm...

 

Two points:

 

1. Moving back in with the 'rents? Surely you don't mean that, they've spent 22 years trying to get rid of you. You have to stay in the big bad world now.

 

And do your own laundry, cooking etc.

 

2. You really /need/ 3 screens for flight sims, forward, laft and right. Best get saving.

 

And, no, you cannot finance 2 by doing 1.

 

:D

I disagree entirely, I can finance 2 by doing 1 :D I'd not thought about the three screen setup... that'd be 50% better!

 

I'm moving back in with the parentals for a year while I save up for a nicer house. My current home is surrounded by druggies and my car keeps getting keyed so I'm leaving that behind. Even paying £2K to settle my mortgage early.

 

But in a year's time I'll have saved up an additional £10K to go with the handsome 5-figure profit from the sale of my druggie-adjacent home and I can buy something in a more respectable, heroin-free estate. Just makes sense :)

Furry muff!

 

:D

"The heroin-free estate" sounds like a local housing plan (giggle)

Does it? Bournemouth Council must be really forward thinking :)

Combination of the two.

 

And I consider it profit because I've been put in a position where I have had to invest a certain amount each month into it to keep ownership, which has allowed me to benefit from the rising house prices. Had I not owned the house, I'd have spent the money.

 

So yes, it is profit.

I could have done two things:

 

1. Spent the last 3 years spending my money on things of frivolities. So right now, I'd be sitting with whatever my wage brings in each month.

 

or

 

2. Invest my money in a house, do it up a smidge, and come out with a nice handsome chunk of cash at the other end while also enjoying the increase from house prices. And I have my wage.

 

To me, my house has been a savings account... only with more house parties (have you ever tried to fit a kegger into a mini-ISA? It's difficult...)

 

And yes, I like Property Ladder... for two reasons.

I read that sooooo wrong. I thought you were talking about a certain person on here's child for a minute.
