Don’t buy these…

iSkin
I bought this so that I could protect my beautiful iPod from getting scratched and looking minging. Once I put it on, I soon realised that it certainly made it minging and bulky, not to mention the pocket fluff that became stuck to it like a magnet. Over all, this is a pointless product onless you have either an iPod nano (which is small enough for this to work) or have cavernous pockets, that are free of fluff. Oh, and if you must buy something, buy a metal one off the internet, it costs about the same as the overpriced iSkin.

HP Home Photoprinter
I’m not exactly sure what model mine is, only I’m sure that it doesn’t work. My family already have a B&W laserjet 4L from HP and it has been brilliant, about nine years old, and I haven’t had a single problem with it, fast, reliable and economic I would recommend this to anyone. So, when my crappy Canon S200 bubblejet broke about a year ago, I was happy to choose an HP photo printer, it should have all the good bits of the Laser, but with colour. Not so, it worked not to bad at first, good quality, the only slight problem being that it neede lots of photo paper loaded to acknowledge its existence. This problem soon got worse however, as it decided not to acknowledge any paper loaded whatsoever, then today only about a year after purchase, it finally decided not to turn on, and that was that. Major suckage.

Gunz!

Ever wondered what would happen if you emptied a pistol into a wall, or maybe a lock, or a door even. This website is brilliant, chances are it will answer any of your schoolboy fantasies of shooting things and it is well illustrated, with conclusions at the end of each “test”. The guy who runs it seems to be some crazed bored pensioner in the USA, who has a fixation for shooting things, but hey! It’s great fun.
