I think we need an NSC gadget World Cup

[Simster]

And showing exceptional judgement, I have collated every single entrant and we have exactly 32!

Here they are in a list:
The George Foreman Fat reducing Grilling machine
The football shaped fridge
Sony integrated remote commander
Nasal hair trimmer
Ipod
Garage door opener
Sky +
Pineapple corer
iRiver
The HD-500
Chapman's mum's fridge (crushed ice and chilled filter water dispenser all in one)
Thirst-aid coke hat.
The remarkable TV-Fridge combo
The "handy" Gentleman's Ball scratcher
The Norpro Stainless Steel Vertical Poultry Roaster
The talking Toilet roll holder
The Corby Trouser Press
The Spork
Fatboy's CD player
The Nokia vision phone
The PS2
The laptop pc
The LavNav Nightlight
Barnet's infra-red dimmer switches
Bar Master - as demoed by Pevenseagull
The ARSE/FACE towel
A crap robot that loads games into a Nintendo
The off road electric wheelchair
The automatic wine bottle opener
The Twister bedspread
Multitool with torch and pen
Swiss army knife

The full draw will be completed either tonight or early doors tomorrow and voting for the first two groups will last for two working days from tomorrow morning.

Some cracking gadgets in there I'm sure you'll agree. Gadgets such as the Dyson vacuum cleaner and the collapsable kitchen bin will be DEVASTATED to have been knocked out in the European qualifiers. But what a treat we have in store...

blimey Simster thats some good time wasting stuff

Go On the Off Road Electric WheelChair

 

[tinx]

I'm supporting my NavLAv Night light

 

[Pevenseagull]

It appears that the kitchen/food & drink gadget is the Europe of Gadgets*
The lounge/ audio visual is the South America
The Bathroom is Africa
The Bedroom is Asia
and Ball scratching is Oceania

*I would include Multitool and Swiss Army knife in this category as I mainly use mine for opening bottles.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

A crap robot that loads games into a Nintendo

Crap? That shit's cutting edge, money!

NSC will decide. But I suspect that piece of shit will be the whipping boys of the group.

I certainly can't see the pineapple corer shitting itself at the prospect of lining up against that cacky robot.

I've found the referee - Refbot from Robot Wars

But when you put a games cartridge in its plastic grasp, it puts it IN THE CONSOLE!

And its called R.O.B. for that friendly touch.

 

[tinx]

Until R.O.B. comes up against the NavLav I'll be supporting it.

Not a patch on the Glowing toilet bowl though.

 

[Easy 10]

That Spork could be a dark horse. But I think the prospect of having the Husky Soccerkule football fridge in the car for those long away trips still beats all.

 

[Pevenseagull]

will the seeding keep the fridges apart during the group stages?

It's all in the luck of the draw. To be honest, I'm more interested in the mouthwatering HD-500 / Ipod derby.

 

[Gazwag]

I think Sky + could be the dark horse, if things arn't going its way it can just freeze the action and get a draw

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I'm with Easy 10. I do believe the Spork is a fine all-round unit.

I'm going with the Twister bedsheet - the only item nominated by two people

 

[Juan Albion]

Could this be first reserve in case any gadget pulls out through injury?

This egg boiler will boil up to 4 eggs at a time. It has a setting to allow you to choose whether you would like your eggs boiled hard, medium or soft. A buzzer will tell you when your eggs are ready and it includes a water measure, a built in egg piercer and a salt shaker. Perfect eggs every time.

 

[Marc]

the Spork is indeed legendary, shame I forgot about this one, the Fnork! Yes thats right folks, its a Fork with a KNIFE side, handy for when you've broken an arm and cant use both...now you just cut and prod...and eat away!

 

[Wozza]

It's all in the luck of the draw. To be honest, I'm more interested in the mouthwatering HD-500 / Ipod derby.

iRiver H120 whips both.

6/6 in PC Pro. "The iPod killer".

 

[tinx]

In the hard disk based music players the big winner for ipod is the looks which is why it will always have a certain market which the other players which don't look as nice will never have.

Three people here have bought ipods lately having weighed up the pros and cons they went for the ipod cos of how it looked.

Looking forward to the post draw reaction. I haven't had time to analyse it myself yet.

 

[Simster]

To be honest, group one looks like the group of death.
