Husky Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 most people are back at work now (booo!). so, as a random topic to keep people amused i wondered if anyone has any cool desk goodies they got for xmas or already had they can show off. I got my dad an insult button and a mouse mat with a rear view mirror (to catch those sneaky people who read over your shoulder!). My boss is off for a month so i'm tempted to buy a small race set to play with in the mean time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 The war torn remains of a 12 box of Krispy Kremes oh lord how i want one now (the ex contents of the box that is, not your cardboard waste) I got a little remote helicopter for xmas and its awesome. Just charge it in the USB slot and its really accuate to fly. Not saying I'm good at flying it - just that if I was it would be accurate. my housemate has a round one, it isnt entirely clear how you make it move anywhere, it just goes up and down. i think its meant to be weighted at one side so it tilts that way but between wildly spinning in circles, hittting the ceiling and smashing itself into the walls it doesnt really seem a precision instrument.

Yeah you get lots of diff small elec helicopters. Sounds like your mate got a cheapy one like I got last year with stop and go. One I've got now has got trim control and all sorts. It's brilliant and the cats scared shitless of it so I just chase it round the living room with it! Got it here http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/10065138.html £35 well spent boys, take my word for it!

Vik54 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I came back to a load of unopened Xmas cards cos I was sneaky and had the whole week before Xmas off Our Tesco has loads of desktop gadgets in their sale. Nearly bought a USB cup warmer to keep my tea warm - I'm forever forgetting I've got on on the go and then end up drinking it tepid They've also got those mini Henry hoovers for your keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
