The Brisbane Tabletop BBQ is custom-built for your summer. If you’re like us you’ll agree that BBQs can potentially be the meal of the year (unless they end in meat-sweats) and with one of these portable affairs you’ll be able to have that meal anywhere. All you have to do is load it up with charcoal close the lid and take it wherever you think could be improved by some burnt chicken wings. For ease of use and convenience the Tabletop BBQ is unbeatable. Not only can you fold it up and carry it like a culinary briefcase it can be assembled easily on a tabletop on the floor or any suitable surface. The grill itself is made of durable steel and is completely adjustable so if you’re fiercely battling to get closer to your meagre heat-source or simply warming some baps you can get it right every time. Unlike so many cheap and cheerful and supposedly-tabletop barbecues the Brisbane won’t leave a charcoal-y mess on your new garden furniture – this is a long-lasting serious little cooking device. So when the sun decides to put in an appearance you can pack up the Tabletop BBQ and sprint outside to the nearest suntrap and make the most of it while it lasts. Ideal for the garden the beach the park (when the park ranger’s not looking) or just about anywhere you fancy having the summer’s most enjoyable meal. What a sizzler!

USB gadgets aren’t always useful. Sometimes they’re just beyond belief. Product developers could just spend their time inventing the next best thing since sliced bread but no bless them. The world would be a very dull place if it wasn’t for there being inventors out there with enough time on their hands to come up with something so stratospherically stupid as this the USB Humping Dog. Well you’ve got to do something with your USB ports so you might as well have a laugh with them. Pop this excitable pup into your PC’s USB port and watch as he starts high-speed-humping your machine yes really. This pint size version or our worryingly popular Humping Dog may not be the next best thing since sliced bread but it’s a lot funnier.
