Top five left-handed gadgets for Left Handed Day 2007!
Your whole life you’ve been ostracised for being a darn lefty, you’ve had troubles using implements such as knives and scissors every day of your life. Of course, you’re blessed with an extra-creative mind, but that’s small compensation when you can’t even open a tin of baked beans. Today you can rejoice in all your left-handed glory however, as not only is it the international Left Handed Day 2007, but we’ve put together a list of the top five gadgets for lefties, enjoy.
1.) Virgin’s Sony Ericsson LH-Z200 mobile phone – it’s about three years old, but you can still find them lurking on eBay, where they have a unique keypad layout perfect for lefties, with the number keys positioned from right to left. It was £119.99 when it came out three years ago, but would obviously be significantly less now…
Top 5 gadgets to keep you cool this summer
Yes, it’s summer. Really. After all those weeks of frankly atrocious weather for the time of year, we’ve finally got enough sunshine for us Brits to indulge in our traditional summer pastimes of getting lobster-red ‘tans’, reporting neighbours for breaking hosepipe bans, and poisoning friends and family with poorly-barbecued chicken drumsticks. Heaven.
Top five boats to escape the UK floods (because our car's now full of salmon)
Yes, yes, we all know how the entirety of England is eight foot under water – infact, I’m typing this on my laptop in my garden, where the water is just under my armpits. Might explain why I keep on getting zapped and my hair’s all frizzy. Oh…
Floods equals water. A ton of water, at that. And a bunch of water equals…BOATS! Yes, boats big and small, yachts, dinghys, catamarans, heck even junks if your heart so desires. So what’s the best boat to zip around in in your local ‘hood, where you can deliver fresh water to that cute girl a couple of doors away? Read on below for our top five…
Shiny Shiny's list of the top five most unreadable watches
Susi from Shiny Shiny is renowned in our office for having the world’s most ridiculous watch. Like Macs, it looks good, but it doesn’t really work very well, and in most cases, she just uses the time on her BlackBerry rather than spending 40 minutes studying her Tokyo Flash timepiece.
Inspired no doubt by the shouty ‘NOW’ watch released the other day, she’s put together the top five most unreadable watches stupidity can buy you. Better keep a hold of your mobile phone just in case, natch…
Top five Harry Potter gadgets (not including a naked Daniel Radcliffe)
Planning on queuing up to get the final Harry Potter book this Friday? I am, and have endured a relentless tirade of mockery in the office for the past week after letting that fact slip. I won’t do that again.
Top five Simpsons gadgets, just in time for the movie!
I was in Paris last week, and on a late night drunken binge, we ventured into Quick, which was obviously the red light district’s premiere fast food joint. I knew the Simpsons film was vaguely around the corner, but their completely Homer-fied menu quickly (heh) knocked the proximity into me. So, in ode to the Simpsons-themed ‘Long Fish’ burger, and Simpsons-fries I don’t *actually* remember eating, here’s my list of the five best Simpsons gadgetry Bart would spend his pocket-money on. That last sentence was so meta my mind feels like a deep-fryer now, and speaking of which…

Top 5 ways to give Big Brother a Web 2.0 spin
We’re several weeks into the new series of Big Brother here in the UK, and already the housemates have reached the ‘shouting on endlessly about pointless arguments that really don’t matter’ stage. In fact, they’ve been there from about Day Five.
Top 5 Techno-watches
When it comes to techno-watches, any self-respecting child of the 80s will tell you they don’t come much better than the one worn round Michael Knight’s wrist in Knightrider. As a small boy I could often be seen whispering…
Top five techy items Tim Henman should buy if he wants to win Wimbledon
Wimbledon has kicked off this week here in rainy London, and whilst wearing my white Ralph Lauren-designed Wimbledon blazer today in support, I thought we’d take a look at what gadgets the man of today, Tim Henman, should be decking himself out with in order to flog everyone and get the famed trophy.
1.) Brando Wii Sports Wiimote extentions – an obvious piece of kit for Henman to splash the cash on in order to improve his game, the tennis peripheral slots onto your Wiimote and gives you that authentic tennis experience. Considering the dismal weather of late, I’d be willing to bet he’d rather practise indoors on Wii Sports than outside in the rain. Poor boy….
