After visiting the gadget show live 2011 at the nec, I decided to make a vlog detailing my visit and my impressions on the place as well as showing what I obtained at the event, and my problems with a couple of the things at the event.

I think it should have been bigger personally and that the security shouldnt give you misleading information actively telling you to go away from the signing queue and come back at 3pm only to be told at 3pm the signing queue is full and taking no more people.  They would need to sort out this along with a few other things to ever make me want to go again, and it was more sales and toys rather than showcasing gadgets, I would have liked to have seen more cutting edge stuff rather than a tiny little stand in the corner being the future tech and the rest of the place dedicated to selling stuff off.  A lot of the stuff like 3d was really old news, was good to try it out but Im still saying it will never replace ordinary tv as so many people just go without perfect eyesight and would get less than no benefit from it as with poor eyesight you actually cannot even see the image as you have the blurred layers, with perfect eyesight you do get a good effect though but it is not worth the price, and if they force it into the market by driving out standard television then it will never be accepted as like I say people just refuse to accept they need glasses.

In this video I unbox and try my final graze box, as usual signup and use the code to get yourself a free box and the second one half price with £1 for each code used going to charity.

In this episode I pose my theories on portal 2 and how it could follow on from portal 1, bearing in mind I havent played portal 2 at this point, and also pose my theories on how it all links into the half life universe along with the consequences of portal being so popular that it has split off from half life.

I entered a trial for the phillips wakeup light HF3480 to sample and review it and this is my initial unboxing and first impressions, as you can see I am not particularly impressed by either the light or the methods in which philips used to shift stock.

Here is a video of me unboxing my first graze food box and showing you what is inside and what you can expect to recieve, as well as showing you my seeds which were delayed almost a month by royal mail.

If you wish to recieve your first graze box for free and a second one for half price (with absolutely no obligation to even purchase beyond your first free box as you can cancel your order at any time) then please join with the following link and the code P58JV7B3

This is my video review of the unboxing of the classic selection of the chocolate tasting club from hotel chocolat, along with my grades for the individual chocolates that you get inside.  You will have to excuse the silly face I appear to be pulling when Im going to turn the video off lol.

A few weeks ago I was sent this product to test and review and to talk about, I filmed this video on the day that I opened it and have been trialing it since then, an updated video will be uploaded soon with a more detailed review, this just tells you what you get in the package if you wished to purchase one and my initial thoughts on the product.  It is designed for treating Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD and also for giving you more energy or combatting the winter blues as they say.  As you can see in the video I am a bit of a sceptic but I will give an unbiased review and my honest opinions, no hype or bull or sales spiel just a clear honest opinion on how it works and whether it does anything for me.

A lot of people dont know that many of the every day sites you use to shop online you can earn some extra cashback on every purchase you make, it may not be much but it certainly adds up, and with other things like switching your energy provider or signing up to something like sky significant cashback offers are available.  I have been using the site for a while and have accrued around £400 in cashback to date.  There are also small offers such as a few pence every day for doing internet searches, I personally havent done these so my cashback isnt based on that but I have heard some people do this and have earned around £200 per year from that alone. 

Either way I would reccommend joining as even if you just use it for getting a little cashback on your ebay purchases its worthwhile as the savings certainly add up, but if you wish to hunt out the best offers they are out there.

Having watched this series of the apprentice every week I have noticed major fualts with the majority of the candidates chosen this year and I wonder how they made it past the auditioning process.  I feel they may have been chosen more for thier entertainment factor rather than thier business prowess.  Frequently they would either lie or completely make up facts about products in order to get sales, they would badger people and blag thier way through the tasks with no actual management potential.  On an operational level they dont have many problems, but as task leaders they always seem to struggle and some of them even panic like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

Even at the start of todays episode, one of the candidates had a title of “unemployed head of somethingorother” what on earth does that mean, if you were head of some department then thats one thing, you’re either head of that department or you’re unemployed, former head of whatever would be acceptable, and why were you now unemployed were you that poor at the job, how long were you in that job, possibly a day trial knowing the blag factor of these candidates.

I would find it suprising if any of these people would ever make the draft if it wasn’t for this program, selling by any means neccissary including lying and cheating isn’t right wheres thier corporate/business responsibility.  If I was task manager on these candidates I would have had words long ago on the way they act.  And with some of thier idea’s they come up with someone needs to have the courage to point out the ridiculousely useless ones, it doesn’t take a genious to spot how bad some of these are.  You could forgive a week or two of bad idea’s but almost every week things have been poor, okay so some weeks it was obvious which team was going to win with the poor idea and the good idea, but this week I would say both were bad from the outset.  The tagline for the octo-kleen was stupid, I mean because 8 hands are better than 2 what on earth has that got to do with anything, and its completely meaningless bumph, at least the germ o nator had a viral aspect, just the excecution of it was pulled off poorly.  They could have either focused more on the germ destruction aspects of the product, or had a similar video with something like dirt o nator as the name as it would be a cleaning of deeply dirty products, and replace the boy with a weak nerdy student and that would have worked good.

Of course I would have said the octo-Kleen product should have been the losing product personally as its meaningless tagline and alienating the core market should have definately lost the task for them, I guess lord alan believed the main flaw with the other team was that it included a young boy on the product which was against the whole “keep away from children” tag and deemed it dangerous.

sorry but what a pile of shite that looks, my sisters 3 year old could draw better than that, okay its meant to be a comedy, so act or something and film it rather than draw pathetic little things a 3 year old could draw better than, or hire in a decent artist to draw the characters, who cares if the comedies any good, put it on the radio if you cant be bothered to act the scenes or draw something decent.
