Please allow me to introduce myself... I'm a man of whelks and snakes

First of all I'd like to congratulate you on your fine choice of reading material. I hope that Smart Consumer will be a useful and entertaining guide to your hedonistic purchasing lifestyle. Secondly I'd like to mock you mercilessly for choosing to read this introduction which actually contains not one single hint, bargain alert, factoid or nugget of information that will enrich your wallet or fill your life with the gadgets, gizmos or tinkertoys you so richly deserve.

What this introduction does do however is tell you what you can expect from Smart Consumer. Starting with the obvious, it's going to tell you where you can sniff out the best value for a wide range of techie stuff like cameras, phones, PCs & accessories, home entertainment. If I'm feeling ambitious I'll throw in few left fielders like restaurant reviews or gardening tools. I'm Irish, and have been for many years, so there's going to be a decidedly Irish flavor to the whole thing. By which I don't mean spiced shamrock boiled in Guinness, rather the issues that surround Irish pricing on the high street as well as taxation on imports and shipping costs. I'll keep these separate to the main content so you can easily ignore them if you're not fortunate enough to live in Ireland. When it's sunny. Lastly, I'm going to try to post one entry a day for the next two months at which point my backlog will definitely be depleted and I'll be forced to do some novel research. (Argh! That sounds like work!)

So, thanks for reading the ramblings, now go and enjoy the show!

Slán go fóil!
