Bastards! Caught In The Net nipped out for a quick Lamb Balti the other day, only to discover upon our return that we’d been turned into objects of office ridicule by the Hot Press Art Dept. who’d be well-advised to steer clear of dark alleyways this Christmas.

If your bah hambuggery – there’s a crude joke in there somewhere – extends to not wanting to spend until Easter hoovering pine needles out of your shagpile, may we recommend the £6.99 USB Desktop Christmas Tree orderable from www.gadgetshop.com/Gadgets/TechnoGadgets/USB_Gadgets/PRDOVR~274084/USB+Christmas+Tree.jsp.
Sticking with matters hi-tech, and you can discover an alternative use for your iPod at www.ohmibod.com/ohmibod.html, home of the world’s first MP3-powered vibrator.
