The three long Scalextric

David Allen — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:09:09 +0000

As child, I always wanted a Scalextric and of course, it was never to be, naturally, my little brother did get one and you know what I was glad that I did not.

It was a tiny figure of eight track and the cars kept flying off the track on the bends.

However, James May from the BBC’s Top Gear show has built a serious Scalextric track in fact his attempt could actually break the world record.

Check out the video to see if he does.

The Undercover cat teaser

David Allen — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:38:36 +0000

Yet another cat toy that will keep your feline friend fit, healthy and with any luck worn out, then the cat will not be pulling up the carpet or scratching at the walls etc.

The idea is simple a little thing spins around inside the fabric, the cat thinks that it is a mouse or something and chases it around.

Features – The unit silently spins a wand under the rip stop nylon canopy, changing its direction unpredictably to imitate the movements of a real rodent. The mouse’s tail peeks out tantalizingly, making it irresistible to even sceptical toms or tabbies. The unit’s gearless friction drive prevents damage once the prey is caught and its speed adjusts to one of four settings with a push of a button. The toy’s low centre of gravity and fold out stabilizers prevent it from tipping during exuberant feline pursuit. Requires three AA batteries. 4 3/4″ H x 23″ diam. (1 lb.) Priced at $29.95

Full size arcade games machine

David Allen — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:50:58 +0000

Most people remember going on these games machines at time, normally in their younger days and the older that they are the more obscure the games become.

Therefore, if someone says that they first played on Pac Man or Asteroids then they are old!

Features – The console is made in the U.S. by the world-renowned Chicago Gaming Company, experts in arcade games for over 30 years, and makers of fine game systems for such names as Williams and Konami. This system is the same kind that has been tested in arcades for years, and delivers true arcade-style play and feel. A crisp Wells Gardner 25″ monitor (not a computer monitor) doesn’t let a single visual detail escape the eye, and real arcade controls–including two joysticks, a 3″ trackball, and multiple buttons–lend a true-to-life feel that will give you the upper hand in challenging one-on-one game play. A host of vintage Atari and Capcom games (125 in all, including classics like Battlezone, Millipede, Super Breakout, Ghosts ‘n Goblins, and Street Fighter II) ensure plenty of challenge variety and an interactive menu lets you customize sound volume, delete high scores, and add future games as they are made available. The only difference between this unit and the games in the arcades is you don’t have to constantly feed it quarters or wait for your turn (authentic coin door does not work–commercial use prohibited). Ages 8 and up. Plugs into AC. 68″ H x 25 1/2″ W x 3 31/4″ D. (300 lbs.) Priced at $3,700.00

In 1977 there was a movie called “Star Wars” today it seems a bit lame, but then it was super hi tech and caught the imagination of many people, it fact it still does.

So therefore, it comes as no surprise that two of the favourite characters R2D2 and C3PO did their bit with public service announcements.

This is something that just does not happen anymore. I would like to see Oceans Thirteen talking about gambling and then maybe Dr Rush from Stargate SG-U on the subject of drinking too much coffee! Who would you like to hear from?

Get your hands one of these, just fill it with balls and it does the rest for you.

Features – You can adjust the distance (15′ to 30′) and interval (seven to 15 seconds) in which balls are launched, and if a dog is trained to drop a tennis ball into the machine, he can play indefinitely on his own. The machine’s rugged plastic hopper has a 17-ball capacity and handles for easy transport. Includes six tennis balls and training tips. The launcher plugs into AC or runs on six D batteries (not included) that provide five hours of operation. 17 1/2″ H x 15″ W x 13 1/4″ D. (11 lbs.) Priced at $149.95

The first 555 timer starts when the red button is pushed and it turns on the red 12v bulbs through the 1st MOSFET (P10NK60ZFP). After 1 second this timer stops and cascades a pulse to the 2nd 555 timer which repeats the process turning on the horns through the 2nd MOSFET and relay.

As we know, Alt is a term for alternative and in this case alternative is certainly right.

These are mugs that you would have you coffee or tea in, but they also have an alternative use such as an ashtray, moneybox, jug, or back on the golf theme as a putting trainer.

These will set you back just $15 each!

It is a shocking key

David Allen — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:00:40 +0000

Imagine there is someone that keeps on wanting to use your car or maybe someone even steals you car keys in order to the car without your permission, then there is only one to get your hands on.

This is the Shocks Car Key, and believe me when I say that this device will ensure that your car does not get stolen and that your friends will never ask if they can borrow your car any more.

It is because this is not a real car fob, it will not open up any cars, but what it will do when the button is pressed is deliver an electric shock, it’s nothing dangerous it will not blow the hand off it will just give everyone a good laugh.

Indoor paintball gun

David Allen — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:00:46 +0000

Now mention paintball gun and indoors it brings up so many great ideas, just imagine office warfare at its finest but of course without messing up the walls and windows. The gun uses a Velcro type ball instead of the paintball, so it is going to lack the splat affect but you cannot have everything.

Something like this could take office warfare to the next level; the worrying thing is what the level after this is!

Each gun comes complete with:

One Rugged Combat Gun W/200mm 8″ Anodized Aluminium Barrel Calibrated For Power & Accuracy

Removable Magazine Which Holds up to 7 Pieces Of Ammo

Twenty-one Pieces of Hook & Loop V-Ball Ammunition

Working in the office can be a traumatic experience for some people and you always get the big mouths that make it hard for everyone, while at the other end of the scale there is the weak ones. So how can get your own personal message out there without upsetting the big shots or making the weaker ones cry.

True Blood has a lot to answer for

David Allen — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:00:50 +0000

Just because there so many different vampire shows on the TV that does not mean that, the fans have to mimic everything that occurs on these shows. However, obviously there are some people who think either that they are vampires or just wish to be.

Therefore, it seems as it goes in True Blood, artificial blood or a blood substitute is now on the market, it is called The Blood Energy Potion and of course, it is not blood or True Blood, it is in fact an energy drink, which is what True Blood is. I cannot imagine the response from people if someone was walking down the street with one of these, but it is only a drink or so they say.

Features:

The fruit punch flavour packs 4 hours of energy along with iron, protein, and electrolytes

Not only does Blood Energy Potion have a similar nutritional makeup to real blood, but also it has the same colour, look, and consistency of blood

Get real blood nutrients without that real blood taste!

The re-sealable transfusion bag style pouch provides the convenient delivery of fluids for vampires and humans alike!

Contains no real blood, just synthetic!
