I would be carefull of buying electronics, US stuff come with 2 pin plugs, or they are at 110 volts



True...anything that"s not powered by a plug (iPod etc) you should be fine with though.

Also, even if it does come with a US plug (laptops for example) if it has a power "brick" you can check it see if it will step down 240v to 110v. Then it"s just a matter of buying the UK version of the power supply which is usually pretty cheap.

I replaced mine for £15.


Most notebook power supplies (mains adapters) will work on 110V too - just chop the supplied plug off and stick a 3-pin 13A plug on.

Jack that works for UK devices using US power....it MAY not work the other way as you"re trying to power a 110v device with 240v. I think it would be OK but it may overload the US device.

Best to check.

  • Its not about the Poker
for those who haven"t ordered their money yet.

The exchange rate has fallen $0.02 in the last 24 hours and seems to be continuing:

Strangely Tesco money have slightly increased their exchange rate in that time.

Tighty, budget Vegas tournaments (bar ours) suck. Literally.

Would recommend (if feasible) the $150 Big Bounty @ Venetian at 3pm.


I imagine at least half of APAT posse playing this - gonna be massive.

So just to get this right?

On Wednesday we are going to have, Jaxie, Stu, TC, Shaz (SuperNova), Rodders and others all being sensible and sober in a hotel bar just before going to Vegas. Yep, seems real. Fortunately there is no way this groups newly found sensible, sober resolve could be defeated.



Gerrrrrr, you coming to stay in manchester on wednesday night???

You know you want to :D

Er, almost no way :-)

what time is everyone getting there?

I am off work next week so I am getting the train from Swansea to Manchester Airport then a taxi to the PI. I am going to arrive at about 17:30. Should be in the bar by 6pm (for food and a very sensible and sober evening). I reckon breakfast the next morning will be an experience also.

THIS TIME NEXT WEEK WE WILL BE AT THE AIRPORT - GTFI
