Fancy Currys

Posted on: April 3rd, 2012 by MrPromo

Life has these little oddities that it likes to throw up now and again, I find. Here is just a small selection of examples alluding to what exactly I’m talking about.

 

Just some of those little unexplained things that just happen and no-one can really seem to explain why.

 

For instance, have you ever heard someone say a word and think, my word I’ve not heard that in …

Let Ebuyer slash the price tag of your home electricals

Posted on: March 1st, 2012 by MrPromo

I’ve often told you just how important I consider relaxing to be after a long shift at work and I’m sure I won’t hear from too many dissenters on that.

Fact is, the vast majority of us clock in for the regular 9-5 slog from Monday to Friday and then are pretty exhausted by the time we’ve managed to get home. This is why it’s vital to get your relaxation …

Put gifts in boxes, not shops

Posted on: December 22nd, 2011 by MrPromo

Sometimes in life people begin to get put into certain boxes and unfortunately get labelled as one thing, sometimes unfairly. Now I’m not going to get involved in any socio-political debate as it’s clearly not my place. Promo Codes doesn’t have a political editor yet. However, my two penneth is that it ain’t right, people.

 

You may ask why I’ve become so het-up about this now. One reason is …

3 is the magic network

Posted on: December 16th, 2011 by MrPromo

Someone once said in the 19th century that essentially everything that will be invented has already been invented. OK it may not be the most factual opening to one of my blogs, as it lacks a date, a person and a context but the fact is that it ties in nicely with the theme of my blog.

 

You see I’d love to dig that bloke up (I am presuming …

Electricity in the air

Posted on: December 13th, 2011 by MrPromo

We all love electrics don’t we. It’s an impenetrable bastion of modern life and if you’re anything like me you’ll often wonder how we’d cope without electrical items such as the oven, the fridge and most importantly the TV.

 

You may consider me boring for contemplating such things, and you would be in good company, the wife thinks the same you see. However, the tables are definitely turned whenever …

Becoming a household name

Posted on: October 11th, 2011 by MrPromo

In the very early days, shortly before I was born, people would communicate by grunting and shrugging. A language still widely used in the Promo household before 7am. Then came the written word with the Egyptians penning insights on papyrus before the printing press arrived in the 1400s. Written word then continued to advance with the dawning of the computer age in the 1990s. Now computers are everywhere and they …

3 is the magic network

Posted on: October 3rd, 2011 by MrPromo

Most people would agree that on the whole, having a lot of choice when it comes to making a decision is generally a good thing. It means you can weigh up the options in a systematic and reasoned fashion, thereby ending up with a conclusion that benefits all parties concerned, yes?

 

No. Personally, I think having an overwhelming number of options can be a little bit daunting sometime, especially …

Diablo Skinz: Smarten your smartphone

Posted on: September 26th, 2011 by MrPromo

There are a number of trends in modern times that I’m afraid I just can’t get along with – self-service scanners and the way people seem to add an upwards inflexion to the end of every sentence, therefore making it a question? Do you know what I mean?

 

I don’t generally consider myself a grumpy old so-and-so but sometimes trends of the youth seem to get on my wick. …

Radio gaga with Go-Electrical

Posted on: September 21st, 2011 by MrPromo

The radio has become engrained within our modern culture and technology. Since the first radio broadcast in 1906, radio has gone on to become a massive part of media all around the world with thousands, if not millions, of radio stations all around the globe.

 

There are a wide variety of radio stations so whether you’re into music, chat or sports coverage you’ll always be able to find something …

Invest in technology and reap the rewards

Posted on: August 5th, 2011 by MrPromo

As you’re reading this, I think it’s safe for me to assume that you own a computer or laptop. Therefore I’ll also assume that you’ll be aware of the way that technology is going at the moment, it seems as though every day those clever boffins are coming up with something to enrich our computer experience. I for one am all in favour.

Can you honestly remember what life was …
