Yeah I have logged in both DX.com and Dealextreme.
Marc.
AFAIK Plonk has several meanings...
Cheap wine
To plonk someone means to put them on "ignore"
A plonker is someone acting stupid
but I could be wrong
"Plonker" in the UK is roughly equivalent to "dick" in the US. But isn't quite as strong and has elements of extreme stupidity.
Yeah, bob on! Did you watch the clip? Explains it all. And very, very funny.
Marc.
The urban dictionary has an alternative meaning for that... but posting the link would probably violate some board rules.
Nah! surely not, there's plenty of Youtube links on here.
I have got you! I thought you meant my link.
Marc.
Don hit the nail on the head really.
Marc.
I can't see video from here.
It said on NPR (National Public Radio) today that number 1 came for World War I...english speaking men thought that the French barmaid was saying "plonk" when she was saying "vin blanc". Right after that she said "Two francs for all night squaddie".
Number 2 is from the early days of the internet, on USENET, Plonk means to dump a stupid poster.
What , you have waited 2 weeks ?
Ive only waited since December 2011 for a flashlight , one of there DEALS ! [ No deal I tells you ] and its March 11 now , so going for 4 months !
I think the longest I ever waited was 6 months [ KD ] and then they refunded me my money without asking . [ yeah I really wanted that flashlight ]
It took DX about 2 weeks to respond to my request for an update [ they did offer to refund - I told them to stand and deliver ] so ?????
Can I sign up for one of those?
Mel Gibson recommended it?
Just kidding, I liked him best in "Attack Force Z"
I am still waiting for some magnets from DX, ordered on 15th Feb. Supposedly "shipped" on 17th Feb, I sure hope they are not stuck to body of the plane!
Yeah, not two weeks for the order. Two week for a reply to my 24/48hr for a reply ticket. And the response was gobbledygook!
So my next conversation will be with Mr Paypal: 'Hello, I seem to have given some of my money to a company, that I foolishly thought sold stuff, but it seems they don't! Could i have my money back please?'
Marc.
OK it seems the only way to get a response from them is to go on the forum. I now have an order number, the problem is it doesn't seem to exist! Still! They give me some nonsense about my email address for my paypal and my DX being different, but they are not. I have been told to cancel my dispute or they will cancel my order! Ha, not a chance, not until my order is in my hands.
Marc.
So can someone tell me if there is any difference between dealextreme.com and DX.com and why there are two sites? Are they planning on transitioning to dx and closing down dealextreme or what? kind of confusing
no worries mate, aluminum isn't magnetic. 
. As a side note, I use manafont for certain orders but its just not the same as dealextreme as far as user reviews and activity and such.
Now I'm worried the package might stuck unto some mail trolley! Ha!
God damn it DX! Still have not receive my stuff!
This is a really bad time for DX.. in fact it's always a bad time for chinese vendors chinese new year is to blame .. I just blame the chinese .
last year dx took 3 months to send me some brynite lights .. it would have been ok with me but the lights really sucked so it made it worse ... next time I'll take the refund unless i already know the light
4 months of chinese new year?
