For anyone who buys items from the USA regularly, you'll know there can be a bit of a sting when you get to the checkout and discover you've been saddled with a big shipping bill. We've already covered the costs of buying from the USA, but it would seem there's a new solution to those shipping … [Read more...]
Pasante Halo Condoms. Visually pleasing prophylactics
The contraception market is seriously lacking in decent-looking condoms. Admittedly, it's not the most exciting thing to use, but it's pretty essential for obvious reasons. I came across these Pasante Halo Condoms from LoveHoney a while ago. Each pack comes with 18 individually designed condoms. … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Vlingo voice-to-text service
Voice activated functions on mobile phones are by no means a new development, and on my phone they tend to be sorely under-used. In all honesty, I'm far too self-concious to sit on a train and shout "call home" into my phone. Almost as bad as those people that insist on using their wireless … [Read more...]
Nintendo Wii’s Baby and Me: creepy virtual doll game
I recently sold my Wii after months of it sitting next to the TV gathering dust. Great console, but it just didn't get enough usage. I wonder if this is why the head honchos at Nintendo are reverting back to aiming their games at the much younger age market. Particularly as they seem to dominate … [Read more...]
Five things that are better than vampires
You can’t open Google, turn on the telly or talk to certain people called Charles at the moment without being assaulted by vampires, actors who have played vampires falling out of sub-standard nightclubs, and interviews with people who have written about vampires. You can’t blame it on Halloween - … [Read more...]

Dork Review: The Neutrogena Wave
I mentioned the Neutrogena Wave in a recent post about vibrating makeup. At the time I was a little dubious at how well it would work against my tried-and-tested cleansing routine. I already exfoliate on a weekly basis, so I was interested in how this would match up. So did I get swept away by … [Read more...]
Ann Summers Rose Petal Clit Stim
When the designers at Ann Summers sat down to design their latest vibrator, I'd imagine the conversation went something like this: "What do girls like?" "Flowers. Flowers and pink" "Right, lets create a vibrator that combines both of those things" The result is the Rose Petal Clit Stim. … [Read more...]
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...]
Dork review: Machinarium (or Dizzy meets Riven)
If you take a bit of Dizzy, a spot of Riven and add a cast of cute, rusty robots, you get Machinarium. It's a beautiful little platform puzzle game for PC, Mac and Linux, which has you take control of a stretchable robot as he wanders through the robot world. It looks lovely, with seemingly … [Read more...]
