where can I find real cheap discount like refurished office desk in Houston Texas
I would like to purchase the Louis Louis office computer desk and hutch. Thank you for your help.
Actually, it's not for me. It's for a relative who's starting out a business. He needs desks, chairs, cabinets and all that. Of course, he wants to cut back on spending. Do you guys know where to find Office Depot coupons and discounts? Any help will be much appreciated!
Ok well my neighbor is a mall security guard at the mall. We've known each other for over ten years. Anyways, he needs to make so many "arrests" a month to get a mall discount. Basically, he'd get 10% off at any store in the mall. He needs one more to meet the quota, but the month is ending soon, and he only works more days this month. For tomorrow, he wants to know if I could let him "arrest" me to meet his quota. He said the process would last about four hours. Here's how it would go:
I'd have to be at the mall at 12:00 noon. This is when the chief of security has to leave for a meeting. I'd then sit by a bench right next to the mall security office. (The bench is not covered by security cameras). He'd then slip me a pair of handcuffs and watch from a distance. I'd handcuff myself behind my back (I know how to properly). After that, he'd check the cuffs, double lock them, and come up to me and say something like "Alright, time to come in." I'd be led through and Put into my own holding cell. I’d wait there four about four hours, while he “books me.” By the way, I’d be cited for something like loitering. I’d be reported, but have no criminal record, and this would not follow me anywhere. At 4:00, when the desk lady goes for a smoke break, he’d release and I’d go home. When he gets back, I’d get $50, plus he said he’d buy me stuff under his discount as long as I pay him back. So should I do it?

Oh and I have a company discount on this because my company is part of staples.
Hi i'm placing an order on littlewoods and i'm wondering if anyone has any promotional vouchers i.e. £30 off, 20% discount and so on.
I know i'm being a bit of a tight person but they rip you off as it is so any discounts would be grateful.
The item i am buying is an office desk costing £159, that's why i'm trying to get as much off. I did have a 20% off voucher but it has expired.
Thanks for taking part in my question and donating your vouchers,
thanks

Obama the Cheapskate: 25 DVDs for Gordon Brown?posted at 2:10 pm on March 5, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly The British have begun to worry about the “special relationship” in the Anglosphere since the election of Barack Obama. First, the visit from Gordon Brown failed to get the usual Rose Garden joint-presser treatment from the White House this week. Now the Daily Mail reports that Obama cheaped out on the traditional gift exchange, rustling up some DVDs in exchange for a thoughtful gift from Brown:
Gordon Brown has been given a collection of 25 classic American films on DVD as his official gift from Barack Obama.
The Prime Minister flew home from his successful trip to Washington this morning with the ’special collector’s box’ of films hidden in his luggage.
No 10 had tried to keep the present a secret, refusing to answer reporters who asked what President Obama had given to mark the reaffirmation of the special relationship.
Wow. You know, Amazon often sells collections like that at steep discounts, even in Blu-Ray. Thankfully, Obama saved the US taxpayers a few bucks. I’m sure that Brown put a similarly negligent amount of thought into his gift, right? Right?
Er …
Mr Brown’s gifts included an ornamental desk pen holder made from the oak timbers of Victorian anti-slaver HMS Gannet, once named HMS President.
Mr Obama was so delighted he has already put it in pride of place in the Oval Office on the Resolute desk which was carved from timbers of Gannet’s sister ship, HMS Resolute.
Another treasure given to the U.S. President was the framed commission for HMS Resolute, a vessel that came to symbolise Anglo-US peace when it was saved from ice packs by Americans and given to Queen Victoria.
Finally, Mr Brown gave a first edition set of the seven-volume classic biography of Churchill by Sir Martin Gilbert.
Brown also brought gifts for Obama’s daughters, a rather gracious act, especially considering the reciprocity. The Daily Mail also notes that Brown isn’t a film buff anyway, which makes the DVD set rather pointless.
People objected when Obama returned the bust of Winston Churchill to the British Embassy, which had loaned it to George Bush eight years ago. I didn’t find that surprising, especially given the history of Obama’s grandfather, or at least how Obama understands it. I’d not likely keep a bust of Oliver Cromwell in the West Wing if I were President, gift or not, for similar reasons. (I’m an admirer of Churchill, though.)
However, this seems like a rather deliberate insult, or at best diplomatic incompetence. It’s one thing to cheap out on a gift for a friend or relative at Christmas, but the British have stood by the US for many long decades, through some very dark times. Despite unpopularity at home, they remained at our side in Iraq and Afghanistan. They deserve a little more effort from this administration, and a hell of a lot more appreciation.
HOPE OBAMA DIDNT LEAVE THE PRICE TAG HANGING ON THE DVD'S
My copy of Vista is completley legal. It was on my boyfriends desk top and we traded so he could have windows 7 using my student discount. He put Vista on my lap top a few weeks ago. It wants me to validate my key and install active x.
Is there anyway I can fix it? (without installing add ons I am not comfortable with) Or is this too complicated- and I should wait for him to fix it? (I am not very computer savy) I really need to be able to use Microsoft office programs for school!
Thanks
Where do I type in his product key when I have it??
