Universal Remote Features Bottle Opener – Pointless Genius?

by Jay Garrett on March 21, 2010

Were I a regular blokey-bloke my weekends would be spent watching a variety of sports whilst downing many cold beers.

Instead I’m usually out gigging with one of my bands (Subset and ByeByeKurt) or watching a gig whilst drinking a wide variety of alcoholic beverages.

Anyhow, if I did have the spare time to enjoy sitting in front of the box to watch a DVD or something with a beer The Clicker could be the remote of choice.

Now there’s no need to have three remote controls AND a bottle opener on the coffee table as The Clicker features a bottle opener added to a universal remote.

That’s right – you can open your brew and channel surf at the same time with just one device!!

Personally I’d rather have this CRISTAL table and drink from cans or buy Tuborg as they’ve pull caps on their bottles ;)

Great Valentines Idea for the Lady – 22 Carat Pink Vodka for Under £40

by Jay Garrett on February 2, 2010

Ok – we’re still in the crunch even though the Government says that we’re not.

Personally – I’m still not rich so buying the girlfriend some swanky jewellery is just not gonna happen. Even on Valentines Day!

I might be able to stretch to this rather swish looking beverage though (remember I’m just a musician!).

This must be in the running to be the girliest vodka ever created – so she’ll love it!

It’s pink, has flakes of real gold, and comes in a gorgeous jewel-shaped bottle.

The pink German vodka is infused with edible flakes of genuine 22 carat gold. It’s like a shimmering golden blizzard swirling around in a potent ocean of luxe pink liquor…. well, so says the blurb anyhow!

If this doesn’t win you something in return on Valentines Day – well, just drink it yourself and you probably wont care ;)

Slip your gentlemanly self over here and purchase one (or more) for the lady or ladies in question :)

R2-D2 must be the galaxy’s most loved and most recognised droid.
As well as being adorable as a companion he’s also proved himself handy to have around – whether as a mechanic or patching into computer interfaces he’s helped many a human, as well as fellow droids, out of rather sticky situations.
This R2 statue is probably [...]
