Last night a fair proportion of the internet sat down to watch the start of David Tennant's last hurrah as a Time Lord in Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars. The episode featured alien baddies "The Flood", a race of water-based beings who play havoc with your electrics and create all kinds of … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Dremel Hobby Stylus
Ever since that advert where an enthusiastic Alexei Sayle told me about the wonders of a Dremel 300 Multitool, I've wanted one. Now, I'm well aware that something that claims to be a jack-of-all-trades is most likely master of none, but such is Dremel's hold over me that when offered the chance … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Braun Oral B Triumph with Smart Guide 5000

First things first, "Knitted Character" is quite clearly crocheted and if you're a crafty type (like me) that probably bothers you every single week (a handy reminder that crafty types nearly always need to get out more).

Watch Doctor Who for free on BlinkBox
If you haven't already had a play with Blinkbox, I recommend heading over there and having a little mooch about. The company is one of the closest things we've got to Hulu, offering movie and TV downloads and live streaming.

GHD hair straighteners – How to spot cheap fakes
The day I spent £90 on a haircare product was a big day for me. I was brought up in a household that still embraced the glory days of 1950s Austerity Britain and the very idea that you could spend that much on something that did your hair secretly appalled me. Still, once you've broken the seal … [Read more...]
