Which to pick? We have a small terraced house, and can't have an real tree as we have a cat, a dog and crawling, toddling grabby 1 year old so the pine needles would be a big no-no!
A 5ft Green "Aspen" Tree: from Argos -
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...
(Smaller, more natural looking, cheaper)
Or a 6ft pre-lit white tree (can't find a pic of it online but its lit with blue LED lights) - a bit more expensive and don't know if I can justify spending that much on a Christmas tree when theres pressies to buy also!
I can't decide!!! I wanted a nice tall tree this year but my other half doesn't want anything too big as our house is quite small . . .
Christmas Tree? Help me decide!!!?
Small tree on a table to high for the one year old to pull down if she/he is cruising or walking. But low enough for them to see and admire. That's what I did when we were in the exact same situation. We had a smallish pretty pretendy tree. One year we had a very small live one. But then you have to worry about if it lives or dies afterwards.
I hope you all have a lovely time. xx
Reply:get the argos one, unless you cant be bothered to do your own lights.
Reply:Take this into account when buying your tree -- next year your other half will not want to get a real tree either, and you will be reusing the tree you purchase this year -- so get the largest and best one you can, because they do last for a few years and that alone can justify the cost. I spent almost three hundred on my tree and this is it's third year and it is just as beautiful as it was the first year. So that is something to think about. Also watch the sales -- personally I am not crazy about blue lights on a Christmas tree, I prefer the white lights as it gives off a much more subtle glow.
Reply:My sister had a white one with lights and it only lasted one christmas, stick to the other one !!!
Reply:Get the argos one, I think you'd get sick of the white tree with blue lights after a while.

Are there any books for fitnesss techniques.. which is easy to read and simple eg: sections for your bum,arms.
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa... I found this set and know what to do but I wanted to find a book to help me out and also are steppers good for your bum?
Are there any books for fitnesss techniques.. which is easy to read and simple eg: sections for your bum,arms.
hi, i don't think a book will be good for illustrating an exercise. Because it will not show you the step by step procedure of what to do.. Try to buy a video, i actually would recommend WINSOR PILATES if you want to tighten your bum. I did lose weight by diet and exercise combined. Dieting means not fasting, ok? I eat fresh veggies during dinner and (because I live in the Philippines), i minimize eating rice, because it's a carload of carbohydrates...Exercising is for toning your body. As you go on a diet, some skin will hang lose so you need to tone and tighten them up. In three weeks, you will see great results. My shoulders and bums and legs tighter, and with my height of 4'10", i have looked slender and taller and slim. This is from my own experience. You just need discipline, you know. The Winsor Pilates has a video for beginners. Try it!

If you have a cooler, i.e. air conditioner instead of a swamp cooler, either you have no refrigerant left or your system had a leak.
Open the back and check, if the compressor is warm/ hot to touch...

Mikomi LCDW19HD....720 OR 1080?
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knew if the Mikomi LCDW19HD TV is full HD (1080) or only 720 lines?
Thanks for any help!
:)

Mikomi LCDW19HD....720 OR 1080?
To conform to the European HD Ready specification it must be capable of displaying 720p/1080i 50Hz and have an HDMI input.
As this set claims to be HD Ready then you can be satisfied that it meets the required specification or Argos would be committing an Offence.
Looking at the description I would say that it is quite ok. in this respect. It may even display 1080p pictures, which is best for fast action video gaming from the latest consoles.
Beware of cheap tv sets though. Make sure that the on-set buttons always work. Some of them cannot be tuned when in Freeview mode except by use of the remote control. That would be a real pain if the remote was lost or broken.
Also, they tend to have limited angle of view: that is, unless you're sitting almost directly in front of it you may not get a good picture.
Reply:This TV does not have a Digital Tuner inside and will require you to make another purchase so you can receive HD channels.
Going off the resolution it is 720p.
This TV is a progressive scanning TV not an interlaced scanning TV.
This TV is HD Ready which means you will need a HD Set Top Box to receive HDTV channels.

Shaving gel and a razor - those shavers don't get close enough
*EDIT Exfoliate before you shave and once you have finished put cold water on the area to close the pores - as long as you exfoliate you shouldn't get an ingrowing hairs - I have done this for many years and have never suffered from them
Reply:forget about shaving and try waxing.
Reply:i wouldn't buy one of those its a waste of money. Just use your regular shaver with shaving gel or cream, thats what i do and it works fine. i use a Venus
Reply:I would say the first one since it's smaller and can get the hard spots
Reply:oooooh dont shave wax everytime you make my eyes water
Reply:Get waxed. It's a million times better.
Reply:the first one, its smaller so its easier to use on such a small place
the second one is better for something like your legs
Reply:just use Immac
Reply:I actually use a guys razor. It's the gillette fusion. It has 5 blades, and 2 strips that keep it moisturized. It works like a charm. But here's a little extra advice that will save your life. Ever have a problem with razor burn?? Well all you do after you shave it get out of the shower, dry yourself off, and then take some dove deordrant, it doesn't matter what scent, as long as it's not gell, and just rub that over the area you shaved, and even on the outter part of your 'little girl'. Not only does this help with razor burn, but it also leaves a fresh smell all day long.
Reply:I use a triple blade razor and shaving cream, that I took from my BF..
And also, his Norelco triple-header electric shaver....

Anyone use an indoor antenna for freeview? And does it work good?
I live very close to the glasgow city centre (Less than a mile) so I'm guessing the area should get strong reception (How do I find where the nearest transmiter is?). Also on the freeview website it says reception is good so will an indoor antenna work?
How about this one:

Anyone use an indoor antenna for freeview? And does it work good?
I work at Best Buy, in Home Theater, and Im a HT Pro2, meaning Im certified.
.. ..we have about 10 open time Indoor Antennas. meaning people bought them, and then returned them because they didnt work.
BUT a lot of it has to do with location. If u buy one, keep the reciept!
Reply:my isiter uses one at her flat and its fine. i think you may find that it will work better in some parts of the house than others eg.upstairs (though it may be fine throughout the house)
if you do try one and have problems, consider using a booster, our aeriel is outdoor but when we first tried freeview the reception was terrible, we only got a few channels and they were not coming through properly - totally unwatchable, just odd squares of the picture in a black screen, but since we fitted a booster (cost aboput £10) its perfect.
http://www.ukfree.tv/maps.php see this link to see the location of your transmitter, you may be able to work out if you have anything that may block a signal eg. high buildings etc. these may impede the signal at lower levels but not on higher floors.

Is this a good camera?
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...
if it isnt good, any suggestions? the most i can spend is £150
Thanx
Is this a good camera?
I spent weeks researching, and after reading numerous glowing reviews, from consumers, and professionals, it seems Canon PowerShot A series are one of the best, in their class for features. please take a look at this ,
http://www.trustedreviews.com/digital-ca...
The Canon PowerShot A570IS. 4x Optical zoom, 4 x digital, 2.5in Lcd .7.1mp
it has numerous shooting modes,
Kids %26amp; Pets ( for those pictures you want to take when baby/child and or pet wont keeps still for long) Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Aquarium, Underwater, Indoor,Night Snapshot, Stitch Assist
Macro
There is also a training dvd thats available to help you get the most from your camera, available from amazon
http://www.bluecranedigital.com/a570is.h...
I brought it just after xmas, for £109.00 including p+p in the UK @.buyacamera.co.uk
www.buyacamera.co.uk, price is now £94.99
http://www.buyacamera.co.uk/
its also available on www.argos .co.uk for £129.99
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...
and the image quality, is superb, This camera is a great point an shoot camera, but it also has loads of additional functions,within the cameras manual mode, that makes it a cut above the rest in it's class.
Some of this camera's many features include, face recognition, red eye fix , image stabiliser, movie mode, it can even be used under water, ( with the aid of separate casing) to many to mention here. but really a top little camera, for the money
Reply:in my opinion it would be a better idea to buy CANON A720
Reply:You don't say what you want it for - snapshots or serious photography. Looks ok to me, but you would be best to visit the shop and ask to hold a few cameras in your price range, to see which you were comfortable with. Also, check if the camera includes a memory card or would that be extra. I bought a bigger camera but couldn't take pictures until I bought a memory card for it. (not cheap)
Reply:Get along to Aldi they have a great camera there for £60.
Reply:It should be OK for most everday purposes. The only thing it seems to be missing is an optical viewfinder which you may find useful from time to time, eg in bright sunshine when the screen is difficult to see.
Have a look at a Canon A570 for comparison.
Reply:For everyday photos it will be good

Hows is the sound quality of an iPod?
I am getting an mp3 for my birthday but I am torn between the Sony NWZS618FR (8gb) http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa... getting an ipod classic (80gb). I had an ipod mini but it broke 4 times in one year, the headphones 3 times and I was generally quite dissapointed with the sound, etc. Now the warranty has ran out and I left with a broken ipod mini at the bottom of my drawer.
So the real question has apple improved the ipod's..or are they still crap quality?? The ipod holds way more music for an extra £40... but realistically I wouldn't be carrying 20,000 songs..I don't even have that much!
Hows is the sound quality of an iPod?
sony has definitely better sound quality than the ipods.. ipods just have a gud interface and customer service (so that they can fix broken ipods) ...
Reply:well you should definitely get an ipod because yes they have improved the sound quality. Since you don't have that much songs, i would go to this link to find out which is good for you. http://www.apple.com/ipod/whichipod/
I would suggest an ipod touch if you think you would enjoy it. the interface is better than the other ipods, and you can go on the internet too. it comes in 8gb, 16gb, and now 32gb models
Reply:please dont buy the sony!
ipods have improved drasticaly since the mini. battery life is better build quality has got much better.you will fill the ipod.
i didnt think i would fill my 80gb ipod when i upgraded from the nano. but now its full and im concedering a 160gb
if you use sites like www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer
or http://www.channel4.com/4od/index.html you can get daily tv shows. that fill it up pretty quick :( and you've got to admit that the ipod looks and feels wwwwwaaaaaaaaayyy better....i mean doesnt it?
Reply:I've had my 30 gb ipod video for over a year and I haven't had any problems with it, I love my ipod, and I think the sound quality is as good as it can get.
Reply:i had an ipob mini a while ago,
%26amp; i absolutely HATED all of the terrible problems i had w/ it..
but i now have a video ipod
%26amp; the quality is soooooooo much better.
i think they worked all the kinks out after tht generation.

Shaver Help?
would i need shaveing cream with this shaver and does it cut you
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...
Shaver Help?
No cream is needed with this razor. And if you keep the case covered, you shouldn't get cut. At least, from my experience with electric razors, I don't get cut. Occasionally, though, a hair gets pulled out and that hurts but no cuts.
Reply:no man, no cream is needed. some can cut you depending on the type you get but it is very rare. Welcome to manhood
Reply:No cream is needed for this type razor. It should not cut you but it will pull hair if blades are not sharp.
Reply:No shaving cream required but if you want a really close shave try applying some pre-electric to your face before you shave. It acts as a mild lubricant and makes the hairs stand up so you can cut them much closer.

Help with buying an HD TV?
I got an Xbox 360 for Christmas and I want a HD ready TV to go with it. I thought that there is no point playing it on a ordinary dull and boring 21 inch TV that cost me 100 pounds. I don’t mind if its only 21 inches but I want a really good quality TV. My budget is 250-400 pounds (MAX), and also what does all this 1080i and 1080p mean and what brands should I look at.
I was looking at this TV made by Samsung, can I get anything better within my price range
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...
…..Thanks
Help with buying an HD TV?
Well i will start by answering your question about 1080i and 1080p. 1080p is better beause it has more pixels but for the size of tv you are looking to purchase there will be little if any difference in picture quality between 1080i and 1080p. I wouldn't reccomend that samsung as i have a hd samsung myself which i am not impressed with and the contrast ratio is only 700:1. If you shop around on the net yu should be able to get a decent 26 inch for the top end of your budget i.e. http://www.digitaldirect.co.uk/products_... This is a brilliant tv from sony with excellent picture quality and surround sound effects. Notice the 6000:1 contrast ratio which is vital for good picture. Best advice is shop around-i only found this quickly and try using price comparison sites.

my friend has a Vivitar digital camera and he is not complaining about it, also 3.2 MP is not bad. they should have a return policy so if you didn't like the camera return it for a full refund.
Reply:Vivitar does not manufacture anything. They contract with various companies and put their name on the products. Since Vivitar has been around for a very long time there is some degree of "trust factor" associated with the name.
At the price you probably can't go too wrong. It looks like a good "starter" camera and who knows - it might kindle a flame and cause you to become a serious amateur photographer.
Reply:Its ok not great. A begginner camera that will get the job done. Not much to the camera and looks easy to use. Never heard of the brand so dont be suprise if it is cheesy. But if u like it then go for it.
Reply:it will do
if that is what you like
go for it
Reply:I dont know sorry
If i also buy the 512Mb SD Memory Card

Is This a DIGITAL TV ?

IS this Samsung TV Digital Aswell As HD ?
Because im confused. Does HD mean it IS digital aswell. Or is HD %26amp; Digital Different ?
Anyway. I would only buy this if its digital. Is it ?
Is This a DIGITAL TV ?
It's described on other sites as a PC monitor with built in UHF tuner, It's not a digital tuner but could display digital from a set top box or Sky. Have a look at this site.

Reply:they will tell you that before you buy from them or try asking before you decide.
Reply:I looked at the description. It's an HD TV, but does not have a built-in HD Tuner. That's why it's described as "HD Ready." I have an HD ready set as well. I have to get the HD signal from my cable box.
The first answerer had it right as far as describing the relationship between HD and Digital
Reply:All HDTVs are digital but there are digital TVs that are not HD. If it says HD your good to go. But if it just says it's digital watch out.

What do I need for my new gaming room?
I'm Saving up and my dad has agreed that I can turn the spare room into a gaming/multimedia room. I have a wii and I'm saving for an xbox 360, ive found the perfect tv. Can anyone reccomend a good surround sound system for upto £40? Do you reccomend any other things for a great games room?
The Tv:
Mikomi LCDW19HD 19in HD Ready LCD TV:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...
Xbox 360 premium.
What do I need for my new gaming room?
I would pass on the sound system for now and purchase a bigger HD television. Depending on the size of your room, I think a better television would be more important than the sound system at this point (always upgrade later). Finding a cheap 24-32" monitor shouldn't be that hard, and your eyes will appreciate it (plus you won't have to sit so close and friends could play too).
Reply:in response to r b comment about BOSE....that stands for Better Off with Something Else!!!!!
They are overated by a long way....Just because Bose is biggest speaker manufacturer in the world doesnt make them the best.....GM is the biggest car builder....not the best!
I use Speakercraft speakers all the time.
Save for a Onkyo receiver...wont be dissapointed.
Reply:Logitech makes good setups, and I have some decent speakers that are Altec Lansing. I'm not sure about the conversion, but you should be able to get decent gaming speakers for 70 - 90 USD. Check your chain electronic stores, or even dedicated gaming stores like EB or Gamecrazy.
Reply:Don't know how much they cost, but save long enough to get the BOSE sound system. It's all you will ever need.

Orange phone in italy?
hi there,
i'm dyin' to buy this phone:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...
but i have a question:will i be able to use it back in italy with my italian sim?(and a plug adaptor of course)
thanx
Orange phone in italy?
It'll certainly work in Italy, however, you'll have to get it unlocked so it will work with your sim.
If you do buy it, try smaller independent mobile retailers for unlocking, they usually charge around £10 to take the sim lock off.
Reply:Yes the phone have mentioned will work in Italy you may have to have it "unlocked" unless Orange operate in Italy, to take your Italian sim,pop in to a dealer they will give you some help on that question.When you register your phone Orange may have all the info you require.

Are iTronics any good?
I may get an iTronics mp3 player an i wanted to know if anyone else has one %26amp; if it's any good.
I'm getting a 4gb for 30 quid are they good quality?
I dont mind if the battery life is short, but do they like break easly or freeze non stop?
Someone help, thanks :]
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...
there were im getting it from :]
Are iTronics any good?
I had an 2GB flash player from iTronics. The sound quality is quite good (x-bass feature), even better with decent headphones.
It never froze, but I made the mistake of putting it in my trouser pocket whilst gardening, when I took it out, the front had cracked, my fault really.
Also check out a brand called Aigo (from Amazon.co.uk), these seem a little more sturdy.
Reply:My Kids both have iTronics Players and they have given me no grief over them at all !
I would say that they are fantastic value for money. They are not going to have the sound capabilities of an iPod (even the shuffle) but they are more than good enough for the price.
I'm typing this whilst listening to my iPod. It cost @£185 (30gb Video) but the music held on it cost over £2000 and its not even nearly full ! The sound is fantastic and I'm happy. The choice is yours, buy a cheap player and enjoy your music, or buy an expensive player and still enjoy your music!
Its more about the Music than the player!

Mini Digital Picture Keyring help?
I bought one of these also and they are totally JUNK!!! IT is just another cheap toy that manufacturers can make a quick dollar off of us people that thinks it will be something really neat. And then we get it and its just crappy. mine had picts. on it but they were blurred beyond recognition and then someone in a electronics store told me that they don't work unless you have software that makes your pics. compatible with this keychain. which i found to be stupid. But hey it is a great idea but getting one that actually works is going to be a tough one. Maybe you will find out some more info then what I was told!! Good Luck!!
Reply:It's broken, or, your photos are in the wrong file format.
Reply:This is not much more than a toy ... it may not even have the resolution of a cell phone camera.
Take it back and get a different one and see if it works
