Any ideas? I am looking for something for my husband. Not an iPad or Iliad. I fear it might end up being a tv to watch the Olympics, laze around and get fat. Has anyone any suggestions of a good tv (or other product actually) which won't break the bank and also where best to get it these days? Many thanks

Forget gadgets they're so last decade

( other than an i-phone 4-S which every man wants )

Trust me, I know these things.

No I am a man and know the Apple Istuff is all marketing and Hype.

Well, today I popped into that gadget-dream-world of Maplins.

( in Hammersmith broadway )

I picked out two "Gadgo's" that you never-knew-he-needed.

A snow machine & the unimaginably excellent "Electric-Jacket"

What more could you wish for?

I bought the heated shoes last year for those days when the train don't come - excellent!

Wod, many thanks. That is actually a very good idea. We both desperately need to get fit. We are both quite thin but totally unfit and with horrible hidden cholesterol levels no doubt.

Does anyone know about tvs? The chances are that we will end up with a souped up one. the thing is, though, that these things all seem to plummet in price the minute I buy them. Wrong source? Wrong approach? Lack of knowledge of the new technology about to come out? All three?

I quite fancy standing in a snow-machine-snow-storm, whilst wearing the heated jacket.

I do, honest!

sone tvs work so you can get the internet/ iplayer etc on them and I think thats the way to go.Sony and probably other makes too.

For a new TV I would always go to Richer Sounds

They always win prizes for best customer service etc., and they will give you honest advice rather than trying to sell you something OTT.

Thanks Dave and WOD.
