Have you tried a charity shop? In the US there are stores called "Goodwill" that have a lot of old, otherwise obsolete, electronics such as tape decks, multi-CD changers and so on. You could have your pick, and at a reasonable price too!

Don't know about that in the Netherlands... And I'm a bit suspicious of second hand electronics. You never know how long they will last.
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

That's also true of brand new electronics!

Yeah, but more true for second hand
I have a few bad experiences with second hand electronics. Not so much with new.
But maybe this time I have no other choice. It seems what I want is not very 2014'ish...
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}

You should probably take a look at something like this[^].
It will make the search for the rest a lot easier.

Quality is of course crap for that price.

So a car stereo - tape deck and multi disk unit
Hammer and symbol - wake up unit
Hammer is dual use so covers sleep as well

My son just turned 11, so my edition is pretty old.

I don't know, I've been around a few managers and my favorite pointless managerisms are
"It is what it is" and "we don't know what we don't know".

IMHO, "It is what it is." == "I don't give a rat's a--."

I've always found "It is what it is" to fit that role.

A good snotting every time he has to use this phrase will not only remove the phrase from his vocabulary but will stop the activities that require it.

When you huff tear gas until your nose is running like a firehose and then blow it out all over the trouble maker.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A 'Good snotting' is a 'Good flogging' or 'Having the shite kicked out of you.
So I (or myself) was explining that if the OP gave his kid a flogging every time he elephanted up, the elephanting up would reduce if not cease.

I found Bob this afternoon in my post-box. The kids got exited but what most touched me is a hand-written note from Kevin (of CP) with a thanks...
Now all left is to decide where to stick Bob...

I have also received Bob into my life. A couple of weeks ago. He's on my car.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
