You’d think lights in a bath would mean lights out for whoever got in with them… far from it. These are the perfect mood enhancers in a low lit bathroom. With the bathroom lights on you can see the different colours of the Spa lights casing, but once you turn the room lights out all the spa lights will give off the same ambient orange/yellow haze. Lights not to be mistaken for the aliens in the TV series ‘invasion’. Warning: people have been found to develop compulsive Spa Lights disorder, where, due to their great appeal, customers buy so many that there is no room in the bath for water or themselves! Each pack contains 2 waterproof plastic Spa Lights that will light up continuously for approximately 120 hours. A switch on side of Spa Light turns on/off the soft light. A removable large sucker on base of each Spa Light enables it to be stuck on: the side of the bath, wall tiles, and bath tub bottom. Remove sucker to allow lights to float. Colour of shell may vary (blue, pink, yellow, green).

Simultaneously a literary movement, ultra-hip subculture and burgeoning cottage industry, Steampunk is the most influential new genre to emerge from the late twentieth century. Spinning tales populated with clockwork Leviathans, cannon-shots to the moon and coal-fired robots, it charts alternative histories in which the British Empire never fell or where the atom remained unsplit. Spectacularly illustrated and international in scope, this comprehensive history explores Steampunk’s many intricate expressions in fiction, cinema, television, comics and videogames, and traces its evolution into a truly global aesthetic, which has made its mark on art, architecture, fashion and even music. From the classic scientific romances of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and Mary Shelley, through the dystopian futurescapes of Cyberpunk, to the otherworldly imaginings of Hayao Miyazaki, Alan Moore and China Mieville, author Brian J. Robb sets the key works of Steampunk squarely under the lens of his brass monocle and ventures into a world where airships still rule the skies.

You would be forgiven for thinking that with a name like The Panther this product is actually a super-sleuth from the olden days but you couldn’t be further from the truth. The Panther is an amazing madcap fearlessly insane remote control buggy the likes of which we rarely get to enjoy. The nimbleness is incredible and it’s a real thrill to see an RC buggy move this quickly (with a top speed of 45 kmh) and be controlled so easily. It’s great for outdoors or large indoor spaces and particularly good for those stylish rally skids and homemade assault courses. If you’ve got a big carpeted area (and the carpet fitter’s number on speed-dial) then The Panther will stick to the floor like a dream and respond to even the lightest touch. Control is super-easy as well with the trigger-style throttle and steering wheel suitable for both left and right-handed drivers. Charging the battery for a couple of hours gives you oodles of time to tool about the place making screechy tyre noises and terrifying the local garden gnomes and chances are you’ll be running the battery dry quite often. Exhilarating speed amazing handling and the opportunity to drive like a maniac without causing serious damage to yourself – what more could you want?

Every movie in this book is a gem that every discerning film buff should know about. Although a few might be familiar – “Barbarella”, “Un Chien Andalou”, “The Blues Brothers” – most will be unfamiliar, and all will boast a small but devoted fanbase. So, just what makes a cult movie? Typically, these movies are independently made on a small budget and were never expected by their creators to attract a broad audience: the eccentricity of the film making or story telling, the controversial stance taken, or the narrow appeal of the subject matter guaranteed that their appeal was limited. Some movies achieve cult status long after their release. Neither commercially nor critically successful at the time, these movies were too revolutionary, fashionable, or simply badly made to find an appreciative audience. Movies, such as “Harold and Maude” and “Plan 9 From Outer Space”, languished unnoticed until a small, devoted group from a later generation discovered them and declared them cool. A few movies, such as “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”, originally attracted cult status, even though they were made by a major studio, owing to their dark, controversial, or offbeat subject matter.As tastes changed and tolerance increased, these films went on to appeal to a much wider audience and to gain commercial success without ever losing their cult status. With insight from critics, film historians, and academics from around the world, “101 Cult Movies You Must See Before You Die” is a homage to a century filled with 50-foot women, alcohol-fueled binges, surreal imaginary friends, flying pink elephants, and improbably large arachnids.

Steampunk Softies offers a charmingly raffish cast of characters for you to make, ranging from the sinister Doctor to the adventurous Aviatrix, and the alluring Lady to the grubbily authentic Prospector. All share key steampunk characteristics – they’re firmly rooted in a past that never quite existed (the past of Jules Verne, Philip Pullman, and countless romantic fantasy games), and they have the accessories and accoutrements that make the steampunk genre such a delight for enthusiasts. Despite all their meticulous detailings, all the Softies are simple enough for even a sewing novice to make, with clear blueprints and step-by-step illustrated instructions supplied for every character. And many have dual roles to add a little practicality to their punk existence – the Lady makes an excellent paperweight, for example, while the Illusionist’s cloak doubles as a screen cleaner. You’ll soon find that you’re creating your own fantasy scenarios around these little creatures’ intriguing personalities as well as crafting your own special characters. Go on – get sewing and unleash your inner steampunk!
