In a world where scientific discovery and exploration is slowly but surely unravelling the myriad mysteries of the universe it’s gratifying to know that some idiot can still find time to come up with such a ludicrous invention as Glow In The Dark Loo Roll. It may not be a Hadron Collider (the less said about black holes and anti-matter the better) but whilst it won’t enlighten us as to what happened at the beginning of time it will shed some light on the subject at hand and it’s a lot funnier. Like all things luminous it needs light to charge itself up so to speak and the amount of light it gets will determine how long it glows for. Why we’re bothering to get technical about it is a mystery it’s Glow In The Dark Loo Roll for heaven’s sake. As serious as a giraffe in flippers though considerably more useful and isn’t it reassuring to know that all those research grants aren’t going unwasted?

Drives away moles to protect lawns, seed beds and seedling plants
- The new Solar-Powered Mole Repeller discharges a sonic pulse into the ground every 50 seconds to repel moles and forces them to find a new home – without harming them. Moles undermine the root systems of lawns, plants and seedlings, effecting their growth plus mole hills look unsightly and make mowing the lawn difficult. This mole repeller covers an area of up to 15 metres radius in perfect conditions (moist clay based soils are the best conductors of the sonic pulse but it will work in all soil types) – protecting an area over 700 metres squared!Mole attacks are most likely during the mating season (February to June) and more likely in sandy free-draining soils and in turf areas although new tunnels can appear anywhere at any time. This impressive device is solar powered which enables it to work continuously, including overnight (when moles are most active) and in poor light conditions, by charging up the in-built 1.2v rechargeable battery.

Mr.Darrow like many other Americans was unemployed at the time and often played this game to amuse himself and pass the time. It was the game’s exciting promise of fame and fortune that initially prompted Darrow to produce this game on his own. With help from a friend who was a printer Darrow sold 5 000 sets of the MONOPOLY game to a Philadelphia department store. As the demand for the game grew Darrow could not keep up with the orders and arranged for Parker Brothers to take over the game. Since 1935 when Parker Brothers acquired the rights to the game it has become the leading proprietary game not only in the United States but throughout the Western World. As of 1994 the game is published under license in 43 countries and in 26 languages; in addition the U.S. Spanish edition is sold in another 11 countries.
