I’m so old that I remember when Black Friday was only known here as a Steely Dan deep cut. Sheikh Yabooti recalls it as the day he drank his first hogshead of mead to mark the end of the bubonic plague.

There isn’t enough facepalm in the world for that.

Picked up rather a neat One Plus 6 ‘phone this week for £399.
Excellent ‘phone,decent price.
Black Friday is for morons.

As usual this product won’t ship to Ireland.
One Plus are only offering 15% off on their UK website.
Ordering through the Irish one is full whack.
Marvellous stuff.
Brother Barnabas
decent enough phone if you’re strapped for cash but let down badly by mediocre camera and truly awful battery life
Ollie Cromwell
It’s not for me old chap.
I’m still running the 5T.
Excellent phone,great camera.

I switched to one plus a while ago. They’re a brilliant phone. Camera issues aside, I don’t think I’d be tempted to switch back.
Except for a htc. Maybe then. I adored my old htc.

I’m a convert.
Wouldn’t touch anything else other than One now.
The Dual Sim is handy for my travelling,it charges in 30 mins and has an excellent camera.

Was tempted by the one plus last switch but stuck with samsung.
I wonder are the majority here iOS or Android. I assumed ios but looks like thats not the case
Janet, I ate my avatar
Android all the way
Ollie Cromwell
Haven’t touched ios in years.
I think iphone 4 was my last.
Google Pixel 3 for sure. Amazing camera – night mode is incredible. Check out the reviews of night mode online with pic, I have one and assumed the reviews were exaggerating. They were not. Its also on black Friday offers. €50 off – bit of a kick in the teeth to us who just brought one but great offer.
Brother Barnabas
i think you’re maybe exadruating about the night mode, but agree 100% on other points

Got one as a gift, gave it to my mother after a week. The “sad ex-pat” photo filter on the camera was funny for about five minutes and then crushingly boring. Ho-hum.

I thought the EU gave you the right to order form any which site you pleased?
What a disgrace he is. These so called bargains are not as good as this eejit would have you think btw. Check the prices next week and probably the same as “Eejit Friday” prices.

r eddit beat yis to the punch here and everyone surprisingly ok with it over there.
Nothing really wrong with this apart from a little bit of tone deafness

Don’t get it! Whats the problem! I mean I can see how spanners can associate something that’s not being suggested so as to make a problem out of it but is that all! If so then that’s just looking for an excuse to be offended. He’s not dressed up as a Black & White Minstrel FFS. He’s black on black Friday. Get it! Black Friiiidaaay!
A lad from Wexford selling lawnmowers blacks up his face because it’s black friday. Highlights said lawnmowers. The end.

In fairness it’s David Brent level of hypercringe.

It was done to cause outrage, pushing buttons for attention etc. I really like the next generation but in some ways they can be very predictable, boring even.

You can’t do that by accident.

Is there actually true meaning to “Black Friday “???
Jeffrey
Yes, was done in the State, day after Thanksgiving to bring ledgers back int he black by discounting massively old stock – end of line items. Now it means 20quid off something, anything.
Cian
But they call it “African-American Friday”.
…nicked the idea from Robinson Crusoe I suppose

I can’t believe we’re 46 comments in and noone has used the R word. Maybe there is hope after all

I’ve a Xiaomi Mi 5S. Quite nifty.
Can anyone recommend a phone with a good camera for indoors / night time?
My last couple of phones had good day cameras but were crap at night and indoors. They were Sony Xperias. (I’m not interested in Apple products)
I’m thinking of a Huawei next… good or bad?
samsung s9+ is great. best phone by far I’ve ever had.
Cheers BB for the recommend, will look it up.

Stop it you!
Getting in the way of people assuming to be offended on behalf of others because they know better than them… your comment is an outrage!

Video down now, Twitter has spoken
o noe his freedums
G’wan the eternally offended internet bully mob!
Good man Clampers, Middle aged white men are the real minority etc etc. I would expect nothing less.
This isn’t fair, I didn’t even get to see it so they have to put it up again!
