Prehistoric Gaming


For those of you who blem on about the ‘days of commodore’ Atari etc. – All well and good! But what did they do in the solitary caves before such novel inventions like hum …electricity?

This dutch bastard is creaming out these prehistoric gameboys at 20 euro a pop. Suitably late for a Christmas present but maybe a runner for birthday present for that aspiring gamer aged 8 – 12 with strong teeth?!? What the fuck would I know, I’m not a parent…

How many ways to review a Bic Biro!

One of the better ones…

3.0 out of 5 stars Wait for next release, 17 Dec 2007

This new Christal ballpoint pen I got is wonderful.
The best part of this compact and versatile text processor system is that it works wireless. True wireless. No need to look for a wall mount, no playing around with converter-plugs when you’re in a different country with different power and phone plugs. Even better, it is so perfectly wireless that you don’t have to search for a WiFi hotspot.
And the versatility is hard to beat. With Word or OpenOffice you need extra plug-ins to do foreign character-sets or spreadsheet functions and graphics are awkward. Not with this text processor. It handles any character-set natively, no fiddling with pesky menus when you want to add a Hebrew or Hindu quote into your Katakana essay. And it does vector graphics natively as well.
As wonderful as it all is it’s a tool with some flaws. Like the spell checker and thesaurus. Try as I might I couldn’t get those installed. Some other features like word-count and paragraph reformatting are absent. And others, like text-justification are not entirely user-friendly, you can get but it takes a lot of training. On the other hand it makes perfect backups as you go.
All in all a wonderful instrument, and when they get those flaws worked out in the next release it’s a world beating text processor.

Cooking with Booze!

Not quite sure what to squeeze into the stocking of your uncle with alcoholic tendancies? Got ya covered!

CookingwithBooze.org is the web version of the book! Chinese Beer Chicken was the best of the bad bunch for me as im a fussy fucker when it comes to eating anything!

Mix half the garlic, the soy sauce, cornflour and a dash of beer and marinate the chicken in it for at least a couple of hours. Cook the rest of the garlic, the spring onion and the ginger in a little oil until they begin to soften, then add the chicken to stir-fry. When it begins to cook, add some more soy sauce and the sugar, and when that’s evaporated, pour over the beer. When that’s evaporated too, you’re done. Serve with rice.

hmm just seems that this guy just fuckin poured beer over a perfectly good meal to start with!

Pure bone laziness!

The people at lazyboneuk.com bring you what just appears to be a towel with a couple of eye holes cut out…now im whats commonly known as a lazy bastard but why you can’t buy a perfectly good towel down in Dunnes stores and borrow your neighbours scissors and do the job yourself i’ll never know…

Ok, so a child running around with a towel with two eyes holes in it over their head might not be that scary, but guaranteed when it comes to bath time they will not only volunteer to be washed they might also be keener than usual to dry themselves. So it gives us adults an easier time as parents and is also great fun for the kids.

Now i don’t have kids but this just smells of shit…shit of which will cost you 47 euro…yup thats what i thought…shamless cunts…

Encourage your kids to read!

Still battling with yourself over what to get 10 year old timmy to pry him away from the mind sapping playstation generation!? You always wanted to encourage him to read but never could find a way? SWEET!

If the people over on Somethingawful.com were in charge it would be a very very different christmas morning we’d be waking up to…

Cardboard Rocket Play House

I haven’t decided if i’m pissed off with this site yet, i mean i’m all for kids not to be glued to a Playstation but then there’s the other side where people would wrap up dog shit in tin foil and sell it as ear rings…

The Paperpod Rocket is a fantastic resource to encourage role-play and stimulate your child’s imagination. Your young astronauts can decorate both inside and out before zooming off to distant planets to enjoy their own space adventure.

When done, it can be folded flat – an ideal storage solution. Use in the home, childcare setting, or school to create a personal touch. Excellent for children’s parties!

Yeah i’m sold on the idea right up to the next line where they have the price, 30 sterling with 7 quid postage to boot, but’s only fucking cardboard! I mean at least with Lego your guaranteed a bit of pain when they kids step on it with out their shoes or socks on…

Toilet Humour!


If your still wondering what to get the someone you love to fill that void at the bottom of the christmas tree?

For 20 bucks and a few quid shipping this ’sticker’ (toilet not included) should be centre piece of any young hip modern pad!

Can I put this sticker on something else?
Heck yeah! Your refrigerator, the back window of your car, the front of your washer and dryer, your bedroom wall – they’re all a go. The stickers will stick to pretty much any smooth clean surface.

Thats exactly what i had feared most…seeing a learner micra bootin’ down the slow lane on the m50 with a vespa decal sticker in the rear window…nuff respect!
