The Mighty Boosh is unlike any show you are ever likely to see or indeed ‘hear’ and one that defies description the closest you could get to the unique style of Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding would be in the early days of Reeves and Mortimer with their cardboard props and men with sticks. But unlike Reeves and Mortimer the zany zookeepers Howard Moon (Juilan) and Vince Noir (Noel) never leave their own world. The Mighty Boosh inhabits a universe entirely of its own.

What better present for the person who has everything than a poignant reminder that they want for nothing? This lovingly crafted vial of emptiness is filled to the brim with unfettered nothingness. Free from the burden of possessions the weight of responsibility Nothing is as idiotic as it is brilliant. Indeed even old Macbeth though mad as a kipper realised that life whilst full of sound and fury (and that was before iPods) is inherently daft and ultimately signifies Nothing. And let us not forget that ‘Nothing’ is so important that most of our universe – and the contents of a lot of people’s heads – appears to be made up of it. It’s a statement an empty gesture if you will a nod at the futility of ownership and yet despite ‘Nothing’ being nothing it is of course packed with millions of protons neutrons and what have you which is pretty good for Nothing.

Portable Sound & Vision 
The new NU Dolphin from New Universe Technologies is an MP3 player tailored for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. The design concept is to create a portable music device that can be worn by swimmers and other water sport athletes while keeping the impact on their athletic performance to minimum. The NU design team come up with this ultra light weight ultra compact player that weighs only 25g with a dimension of 60 x 21 x 21mm. Its cylindrical-shaped casing features a minimalist outlook with all control buttons located on one side and the headphone jack on the other side. The earphone attaches to the player via a special screw-in jack to keep the device water-tight. Both the earphone and the player were tested to comply with IPx7 international water resistant standard. The earphone employs a special non-woven fabric membrane to keep the speaker vibration plate dry while maintaining a high quality sound output. The earpieces are attached with a soft silicon earplug that fits snugly in the ears. The earplugs not only keep the earphones dry but also prevent the earphones from coming loose during vigorous activities. Operating time for the NU Dolphin is roughly 8 hours when fully charged and recharging time is about 1.5 hours. Recharging (and file downloading) can be done via USB port. Initial release of the NU Dolphin is designed to be worn on swimmer goggles; there will also be an optional armband for surfing and other activities. Future plans for Dolphin include accessory kits designed to provide better functionality for different water sports activtities. Olympic Silver Medalist and Double Commonwealth Gold British Swimming Champion Sharron Davies says I think an MP3 player you can use in water is a great idea for fun and to relief hours of boredom if you have to …

Amazon.co.uk Review
In Transformers: The Movie it’s the year 2005, and the universe is going right down the toilet. Not only have the heroic Autobots lost their homeworld of Cybertron to the evil Decepticons, a giant metallic planet named Unicron is on the prowl, treating solar systems like a gigantic buffet and gunning for the Autobots’ matrix of leadership. Fortunately, struggling against the odds is what heroes do best, and it is indeed hard to keep a good robot down. As the battle rages from space to earth and back into space again, characters die, others are reborn and, ultimately, good must face evil in a climactic battle for the fate of the universe. When this animated film arrived in American cinemas in the mid-1980s, the Transformers–both the robot toys and the television show–were at the height of their popularity. Transformers The Movie took these battling ‘bots and, er, transformed them into film stars, albeit of the cult variety. The animation is a bit touch-and-go: at its best, it’s up there with classic Japanese manga; at it’s worst, it reeks of horrible 80s assembly-line productions. And the plot is little more than an advert for the (then) new toys, many of which show up as main characters in the film (Hot Rod, Kup, Ultra Magnus, Galvatron, etc). However, some of the action sequences are indeed spectacular–especially the battle for Autobot City–and the violence is a bit intense for what is, basically, a kid’s film (they may just be robots, but they still die, apparently). What really makes this film more than meets the eye, though, is the names who show up as voices in the credits: Leonard Nimoy, Judd Nelson, Robert Stack, Eric Idle and even Orson Welles, in one of his last roles, as Unicron.
On the DVD: In order to please the growing numbers of hardcore Transformers fans out there, the DVD version of Transformers: The Movie has been beefed up with loads of extra features: the original theatrical trailer, introductory footage taken from the BBC’s I Love 1984 and a picture gallery with music are all excellent additions, but best of all is Takara’s “The Four Soldiers from the Sky”. Though the dubbing and translation are a bit poor, it’s still a rare opportunity to see a Transformers episode that never aired outside of Japan.–Robert Burrow
