3. i iPhone Battery Charger - this a essentially a backup battery pack which claims to give you up to 250 hours of extra standby time, 5 hours of talk time or 20 hours of extra music.

4. Cyber Clean - As one reviewer put it on Reevo: "tactile de-stressing brightly coloured putty, great fun and it works to clean out grimy keyboards, mobile phones, calculators etc, Makes dusting and cleaning fun!! Kills germs!! Comes in a screw top plastic tub to stop it drying out. Colour guide on tub label to let you know when you need to replace your Cyber Clean." The Cyber Clean Home and Office 75g Sachet costs just £4.36 delivered.

5. Mini Mixer for iPod - Connect two iPods, MP3 Players, anything with any audio out port. Then slide from left to right, remixing as you go. Great cheap DJ kit for the amateur but it does make a slight hissing noise when switched on and there is no music playing. It does include a built-in speaker and an audio-out port if you want to use that too. The Mini Mixer for iPod costs £22.38

It’s been about six weeks since the end of my Disney World International College Program contract and I thought I’d write a retrospective piece summing up my experience. I’m going to very quickly get those of you who didn’t read my blog up to speed. Hi, I’m Gio from the UK and this Summer (2013) I participated in the International College Program at Walt Disney World. I was an attractions cast member working at Mickey’s Philharmagic and Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel in the Magic Kingdom. My program was about ten weeks long and I successfully completed it.

London: Things to do and Events in February Chinese New Year Image: Paul (Flickr) 18th February 2018 Although Chinese New Year itself is on the 8th February in 2016, the celebrations will be held on the subsequent weekend.  You can celebrate the start of the Year of the Monkey all around the West End with events held on Trafalgar Square and Chinatown from 10:00 to 18:00. London’s Chinese New Year celebrations are the largest outside Asia, with parades, performances and fireworks.  At 10:00 a large lion parade makes its way from Trafalgar Square to Chinatown; from 12:00 onwards stage performances are held; and at 17:20 the grand finale begins as dancers and acrobats take to the stage, and pyrotechnics illuminate Nelson’s Column.
