Its from like the Chinese version of Amazon/Ebay so they take a few weeks to turn up but all instructions are in English and it was so simple to setup. I order quite a few gadgets from there and it was a lightning type deal but still only about £15 now.
You can find some on Ebay but they tend to be about £35+ and many of them ship from China anyway.

£7.97 (inc. VAT) with free shipping - thanks again.

Re: What have you just bought?
Can't complain at that price 
Keep in mind its USB powered but comes with a USB cable. My power sockets have a USB port and was within range of the shelf I stuck it to upside down. They give you a mounting bracket and some screws in case you want to do that but I just used some gorilla tape to stick the bracket to the underneath of the shelf but it will sit on anything ok too.

Re: What have you just bought?
A full tank of E5 petrol. 37 litres for £72.11 (194.9p/ltr). Standard E10 was 187.9 and diesel 196.9.
The last time I filled her up was back in February, when E5 was 150.9.

I have brightness way lower than that.
One other issue is the resolution is some games is very low so huge items on screen. On S2 I had an app to adjust the resolution for individual games but can't see that setting on S8. I still have to get the really crashy app moved over as need to get developers to copy over some of the achievements.
It is nice though to annotate PDF's and have all the information in one place though I do like to have paper copies too. I'll see how things work when classes resume.

This right angled 3metre cable supports super fast 2.0 charging for the 45w charger if you need a better cable.

I do not watch live TV apart from the soaps which I can watch on demand except for Eastenders which I found posted regularly on the news groups so I literally can do it with breaching the TV License laws. Anything else I actually want to watch on the beeb I can download elsewhere anyway so stuff the TV Tax

Re: What have you just bought?
Well the old man likes his black and white movies, especially if John Wayne stars in them and also all sports, I can't deny him can I? At around 44p per day if my calculations are correct, is cheap entertainment.

Just be ready for the theatening letters and Bozoe visits.
Tip: The Bozoes have no right of entry and you can send them packing.
BTW it's 14 years since we paid the BBC tax and they've given up sending Bozoes.
