The Undercover Mini Sleeve does for your iPod iPhone or other personal piece of paraphernalia what the undercover laptop sleeve did for your laptop. Basically it’s a rather nifty little device that allows you to surreptitiously transport your dinky electricals around in what appears to be a battered old postal envelope. That means your iPhone your iPod your external hard drive your mobile your camera… pretty much anything you can jam in there that’s of value. The cute in-jokes give it away completely (who’s going to believe that ‘Hard Drive’ is an actual road?!) but at first glance this is nothing more than a tatty envelope. No-one will have the slightest clue that you could be potentially carrying around something rather valuable so worry no longer about potential theft. It’s got some pretty good padding too so whatever you put in there will be nicely protected.
Price : £ 7.99

Experience how it feels to be the subject of a blasphemy prosecution! Find out why ‘wool’ is a funny word! See how jokes work, their inner mechanisms revealed, before your astonished face! In 2001, after over a decade in the business, Stewart Lee quit stand-up, disillusioned and drained, and went off to direct a loss-making opera about Jerry Springer. How I Escaped My Certain Fate details his return to live performance, and the journey that took him from an early retirement to his position as the most critically acclaimed stand-up in Britain. Here is Stewart Lee’s own account of his remarkable comeback, told through transcripts of the three legendary full-length shows that sealed his reputation. Astonishingly frank and detailed in-depth notes reveal the inspiration and inner workings of his act. With unprecedented access to a leading comedian’s creative process, this book tell us just what it was like to write these shows, develop the performance and take them on tour. How I Escaped My Certain Fate is everything we have come to expect from Stewart Lee: fiercely intelligent, unsparingly honest and very funny.
