Ever worry that in your immaculately clean kitchen attire that your dinner guests may take for granted how hard you’ve been slaving away preparing a banquet for them? Well now you can make sure you are known as the ‘Butcher of Birmingham’ and with just a quick glance this Butchers Apron will get the point across. Fear not though, if you happen not to live in a town/city beginning with ‘B’ we’ve tried and it sounds just as menacing with any place name, especially when teamed with a maniacal grin and a brandished meat cleaver!

Now where’s the best place to learn something new? Yes alright it’s school but indulge us for a moment would you? With the Things We Didn’t Know Loo Roll the toilet becomes the ultimate seat of learning – concealed within its rolls of paper are countless statements of varying degrees of truth (no-one said it had to be true to be educational!). Of course some of it definitely is true – Mageirocophobia is the fear of cooking for example. Some of it is admittedly just a little bit silly – Owls do not make love in the rain as it is too wet to woo is a favourite. There are loads of them on this roll so even if one or two of them are a little bit suspect you can at least pull off another sheet and carry on learning. This toilet roll is a great fun item to casually leave in the smallest room waiting for unsuspecting guests to discover its content. And if they don’t agree with what they read well they know what they can do with it… Painstakingly compiled and an almost-endless source of entertainment (some design wag has even printed the legend Poo and Learn on the packaging) the Things We Didn’t Know Loo Roll will make you spend an awful lot more time in the toilet.

There’s nothing quite as nerve-wracking as playing pass the parcel with a time-bomb or quite as much fun. Shockball is basically catch for the brave and the hard. This red metal-studded ball contains a hidden wickedness – that is rather given away by the name. Turn it on and then start throwing it to one another and at some random point in the all too near future the person catching it will get zapped. You never know when it’s going to ‘go live’ so it turns catch on its head – instead of worrying whether or not you can catch the ball now you’ll worry about what will happen if you catch the ball. This rubber-coated land mine has been the cause of lots of shrieks in the office – though oddly they seem to come before the person’s even caught the thing. There’s nothing like a bit of anticipatory fear to spice up a game! Features: A rubber coated ‘throw and catch’ ball with a twist 18 conductive metal pads to shock you by surprise. An internal timer that randomly decides to time-out and shock whoever is holding the ball at that point. An on/off switch so if you want a break from the shocks you can just play regular catch. Colours may vary. Suitable for ages 14 years+. Requires 2 x AAA Batteries (not included). Size: 7 x 7 x 7cm. This item emits Electric Shocks. Do not use if you have a pacemaker. Keep away from pets.
