So you’ve flown our other RC helicopters stormed the odd makeshift cardboard box base and have managed to get the theme tune from ‘Airwolf’ out of your head – what’s next? Voice Control that’s what! This ingenious Voice Control Helicopter responds to your commands and has five of them loaded in ready to obey your every aviation whim (though when we tried it out it didn’t seem to understand pop into the kitchen and grab me a Hobnob.). Simply pop the microphone set over your bonce (it looks a bit like a bluetooth headset) and get jabbering! You can command your heli-servant to: ‘start its engines’ ‘go higher and lower’ ‘to hold’ and ‘to stop’ once you’ve landed. Saying ‘stop’ in mid-air is not recommended unless you’ve got a very soft head and few pain receptors. Combined with that you can use the remote control to turn left and right and the in-built forward motion will make sure it’s headed in the right direction. From a self-preservation point of view there’s also a ceiling sensor that ensures you don’t have to avoid a falling helicopter as well. To top it all off there’s some cool LED lights and charging it up is super-easy via the handset. For any European friends you might have the helicopter will also understand commands in French or Spanish – clever eh? In short the Voice Control Helicopter is one of the most innovative helicopters at IWOOT addictive and extremely clever.

Paul McGrath is Ireland’s best loved sportsman and also its least understood. An iconic football presence during a professional career stretching over 14 years he played for his country in the European Championship finals of 1988 and the World Cup finals of 1990 and 1994. But behind the implied glamour of life in the employ of great English clubs like Manchester United and Aston Villa McGrath wrestled with a range of destructive emotions that made his success in the game little short of miraculous. That story has until now never been told. It is a story that runs from a hard hidden childhood spent in Dublin’s orphanages all the way to the pain of two marriage break-ups and the struggle to cope with life after football. Quite apart from his all too public struggle with alcoholism the story runs through the surreal highs and calamitous lows of a life lived habitually on the edge of chaos. It is not just a football story. It is an extraordinary human story that is certain to surprise with its candour.Here for the first time read about the father he never met; the mother whose love never died; the routine loneliness and ritual bullying endured by a black kid growing up behind closed doors in 1960s Dublin; the emotional breakdown suffered on leaving that institution; the recovery that – remarkably – brought him all the way to Old Trafford; the rollercoaster ride that followed. Here the guilt fear self-loathing are all laid bare in a story fired with hope and determination for the future. It may well be the most candid sports book ever written.

No right now Fat Charlie Nancy is angry confused and more than a little scared – right now his life is spinning out of control and it is all his dad’s fault. If his rotter of an estranged father hadn’t dropped dead at a karaoke night Charlie would still be blissfully unaware that his dad was Anansi the spider god. He would have no idea that he has a brother called Spider who is also a god. And there would be no chance that said brother would be trying to take over his life flat and fiancee or to make matters worse be doing a much better job of it than him. Desperate to reclaim his life Charlie enlists the help of four more-than-slightly eccentric old ladies and their unique brand of voodoo – and between them they unleash a bitter and twisted force to get rid of Spider. But as darkness descends and badness begins is Fat Charlie Nancy going to get his life back in one piece or is he about to enter a whole netherworld of pain?
