Twoflower was a tourist the first ever seen on the Discworld. Tourist Rlncewind decided meant idiot. Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own but which looks completely different. It plays by different rules. Certainly it refuses to succumb to the quaint notion that universes are ruled by pure logic and the harmony of numbers. But just because the Disc is different doesn’t mean that some things don’t stay the same. Its very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the arrival of the first tourist upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. But if the person charged with maintaining that survival in the face of robbers mercenaries and well Death is a spectacularly inept wizard a little logic might turn out to be a very good idea…

For those of you who simply can’t be bothered to use your lungs excessively and stage your own mini-Queen concert (circa 1986) we have this super innovation in the world of bubble-blowing. Simply put it’s a gun that fires bubbles out at a fair old lick and accompanies it with some super-cool UV lights as well. It’s designed for kids but if the giggles of glee as we sprayed showers of bubbles into a desk fan are anything to go by adults will have a rare old time with it too. Great for the garden and indoors as well (office workers may want to be a little cautious around their computers) it’s guaranteed to brighten up the day of whoever you blow bubbles in the face of. If you look within the gun itself you can even see the bubbles being made – perfect for young inquiring minds. If you’re looking for something to muck about with in the garden or a way to delight/annoy family and friends then the UV Bubble Gun is about the best way to manage it.

After nearly two decades in Britain Bill Bryson took the decision to move back to the States for a while but before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain. His aim was to take stock of the nation’s public face and private parts (as it were) and to analyse what precisely it was he loved so much about a country that had produced Marmite a military hero whose dying wish was to be kissed by a fellow named Hardy place names like Farleigh Wallop and Shellow Bowells people who said ‘Mustn’t grumble’ and Gardeners’ Question Time.

It doesn’t take long does it? One moment Bond is wielding some achingly cool gadget and before you know it it’s on the IWOOT website. Q’s furious of course. The Spy Video Watch is literally indistinguishable from a normal (and actually quite swanky) watch but the crucial difference is that you can craftily record video and take photos thanks to the almost-invisible camera hidden in the number ‘2’ of the watch face. In fact all the features on this genius little watch are extremely well-hidden. There’s a microphone and an LED indicator on there somewhere too but they’re sufficiently unnoticeable for you to get on with the very important business of mucking about. The video quality is pretty amazing for such a tiny camera and you’ll have no-end of fun trying to catch people up to no good (if that’s what you like doing). The stills are excellent too so any Top Secret documents you might happen upon won’t go un-snapped (though it’s just as handy if you see Neville from accounts picking his nose and need some blackmail material… the choice is yours). The rechargeable lithium-ion battery is good for about 2 hours continuous sleuthing (with a full charge of 2-3 hours). It’s got a whopping 2GB capacity as well so you don’t have to worry about clogging it up with pictures of your upside-down face and getting your vids and pics off the watch and onto your computer is easy. Just plug the included USB cable into a port and treat it in the same way you would any other digital camera – your recordings will then be ready to upload to YouTube or send to whichever client you’re doing some private work for. Because it’s such a convincing watch as well (it tells the time and everything!) you’ll be able to snap and film all you like – and not a soul will know you’re doing it.

The term ‘film noir’ still conjures images of a uniquely American malaise: hard-boiled detectives, fatal women, and the shadowy hells of urban life. This book examines how film noir crosses national boundaries, speaks to diverse international audiences, and dramatizes local crimes and the crises of local spaces in the face of global phenomena.

The World’s best selling card game. ; ; Relatives visiting? Hosting a party? Stuck in an airport? Then it’s time for Uno the classic card game which is quick to learn easy to play and fun for all the family. The aim of the game is to be the first player to score 500 points by getting rid of all the cards in your hand before your opponents. You score points for all the cards left in your opponents’ hands. ; ; The rules of Uno are simple. Every player picks a card and the person who draws the highest number deals (Action Cards count as zero at this stage). Once the pack has been shuffled each player is dealt 7 cards. The remainder of the deck is placed face down to form a DRAW pile. And the top card of the DRAW pile is turned over to start a DISCARD pile. The person to the left of the dealer starts play and has to match the card on the DISCARD pile either by number or colour. So if the card is a red 7 the player must put down a red card or any 7 card regardless of its colour. Alternatively the player can put down a Wild Card. If the player doesn’t have a card to match the one on the DISCARD pile they must take a card from the DRAW pile. If this can be played the player is free to put it down in the same turn. Otherwise play moves on to the next person. Players may choose not to play a playable card from their hand. If so they must draw a card from the DRAW pile. If playable that card can be put down in the same turn but the player may not use a card from the hand after the draw. Players race to get rid of their cards and the real fun starts when special Action Cards are used to foil opponents and gain an advantage. With the tension mounting Uno becomes the fun family card game that’s easy to pick up but impossible to put down. ; ; For ages 7+ ; ; Box contains: ; 108 cards ; Instructions
