From bag to bed in under five minutes!
- Also available: Honeyman Full Sized Portable Folding Single Bed in a Bag for just £69.95 It’s hard to believe that it’s actually possible to squeeze a full 6ft 4” x 4ft 5 ½” wide double bed into a bag that you could hide away in a cupboard, ready and waiting for overnight guests, but this new, innovative design just goes to prove you can – and what’s more, it really is comfortable! The bed comes in two parts – a folding frame made from white powder-coated aluminium and steel with fitted blue coloured tough fabric top, and a heavy duty inflatable mattress with Velcro-fastening protector that pumps up in a matter of minutes using the mains reversible-flow electric pump supplied. The frame comes fully assembled with the exception of two end bars that require slotting into place – no tools required! The pump also deflates the mattress. Special Offer: If you intend to use the folding bed for camping or caravanning trips then why add a superb tent that are secured to the bed frame using velcro straps? The tent door and windows are zippered, the door from both sides. Windows and door are double skinned for either insect mesh protection, complete privacy or completely open. NB: Nylon tent material is NOT waterproof.
Price : £ 99.95

We all know how relaxing it is to sit back and listen to the gentle sounds of animals. Unfortunately to do this at home or at work usually requires lots of looking after, cleaning out, and feeding. Thankfully this is not the case with the Insect Cage Gallery. Simply pop the container on your desk, flick the switch and settle back to enjoy the sounds of nature as the gallery lights up, and the animal within sings away.
Price : £ 4.95

Average Rating: 4.0 / 5 (49 Reviews)
If Franz Kafka had been an animator and film director–oh, and a member of Monty Python’s Flying Circus–this is the sort of outrageously dystopian satire one could easily imagine him making. However, Brazil was made by Terry Gilliam, who is all of the above except, of course, Franz Kafka. Be that as it may, Gilliam sure captures the paranoid-subversive spirit of Kafka’s The Trial (along with his own Python animation) in this bureaucratic nightmare-comedy about a meek governmental clerk named Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) whose life is destroyed by a simple bug. Not a software bug, a real bug (no doubt related to Kafka’s famous Metamorphosis insect) that gets smooshed in a printer and causes a typographical error unjustly identifying an innocent citizen, one Mr. Buttle, as suspected terrorist Harry Tuttle (Robert De Niro). When Sam becomes enmeshed in unravelling this bureaucratic glitch, he himself winds up labelled as a miscreant.
The movie presents such an unrelentingly imaginative and savage vision of 20th-century bureaucracy that it almost became a victim of small-minded studio management itself–until Gilliam surreptitiously screened his cut for the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, who named it the best movie of 1985 and virtually embarrassed Universal into releasing it. –Jim Emerson If Franz Kafka had been an animator and film director–oh, and a member of Monty Python’s Flying Circus–Brazil is the sort of outrageously dystopian satire one could easily imagine him making.

On the DVD: Brazil comes to DVD in a welcome anamorphic print of the full director’s cut–here running some 136 minutes. Disappointingly the only extra feature is the 30-minute making-of documentary “What Is Brazil?”, which consists of on-set and behind-the-scenes interviews. There’s nothing about the film’s controversial release history (covered so comprehensively on the North American Criterion Collection release), nor is Gilliam’s illuminating, irreverent directorial commentary anywhere to be found. The only other extra here is the ubiquitous theatrical trailer. A welcome release of a real classic, then, but something of a missed opportunity. –Mark Walker
