Walkie Talkie Watches
November 24, 2009
What are They?
It doesn’t take a genius to work out what Walkie Talkie Watches could be. Yes. you guessed it…. Its two watches that double up as walkie talkies. Granted, the first thing we thought was “a walkie talkie in a watch! That’ll be poo, as it will have no range, eat batteries, have no functions and be seriously fiddly/difficult to use”. So naturally we had to have a closer look.
At first glance we were surprised by the size. They are oversized, compared to a Casio watch, but not as much as you might think. The face of the “watch” only measures in at 7 x 6 x 2.5cm and when you consider that the aerial can be folded in and out when needed it is surprisingly small. The next thing we noticed was that they come with an AC adapter and earpiece each. So the AC adapter means no replacing batteries, Bonus! And the AC adapter means no batteries necessary, double bonus!

What is it?
The official line is that the Laser Airzooka is “A bucket shaped, high tech, soft combat, high velocity air cannon with a laser targeting system”!?!
Put in GFM speak that means it’s a “big gun that shoots air…… accurately”. The Airzooka has been kicking around for some time now so cant exactly be called “new tech”, but it has just received a surprising facelift with the addition of a laser sighting and a change of colour.

June 11, 2009
What is it?
Since the dawn of time all men have cooked raw meat over an open flame and we cant explain why we love doing it. We have also, by default, all burnt our meat into unrecognisable charred lumps, with a pink gooey centre. This was all done in an effort to get that unbeatable flame grilled taste, which as you will know, is difficult to master… until now. Step up the BarbeSkew II (the new cheaper version of the original BarbeSkew, as seen on Dragons Den). It is essentially a new take on a BBQ that constantly rotates your chosen meat, instead of leaving it static on a grill. It does not sound like a massive evolutionary step, but the best ideas are always the most simple. You lance your chosen cuts of animal onto the 7 small skewers then slip them into the groves provided over the charcoal. They then slowly rotate, allowing the meat to receive a 360 degree view of the fire below. You also get 2 cage skewers enabling you to still cook the BBQ classics, sausages and burgers that also benefit from the same 360 degree cooking experience.
Lightsaber Umbrella

What is it?
Being the astute persons that you are, you can probably guess that this is an umbrella. But this is like no other umbrella we have ever seen before, because this is a “Lightsaber Umbrella”.
