Tank Paintball Battles

You take it in turns as part of a three-man crew to negotiate a tricky tank course set in a World War II bombing range. Your tank of choice will be a unique 17 tonne FV432 armoured personnel carrier, with specially modified cannons capable of firing 40mm paint rounds. Under the guidance of your on-board instructor you will get the opportunity to drive the tank, aim the cannon, load the breach and fire the air powered cannon. Also to get you into your role as an artillery man (or woman!) you have to look the part, so you will be issued with radio headsets, Kevlar helmets, tank suits and gloves! Once you are able to successfully operate the tank, the hatches are closed and you are free to engage in full on armoured warfare against an opposing team using only your periscopes to guide you!

A Most Shocking Duel

Have you ever felt like some weaselface just really got your goat and that this imposter should be dealt a fairly healthy dose of 'compensation' for his extraordinarily rude actions!

Fret no more, since there is a legendary device out there that can level the situation nicely - behold the 'Shocking Duel'.

The idea here is that you approach said rudeboy and challenge him to an electrifying duel for his poor behaviour. Each dueller grabs hold of a single handle atop a sturdy suction pad stand, on for example a table, then a quite puny short duration electric shock is administered to both participants. These electric shocks gradually get stronger and longer in duration. The first person to let go, likely squealing like a little pig, is then declared a complete wuss/ pansy and given the appropriate ridiculing. The moment one player lets go the electrocution ends, the handle lights turning from an 'on' blue to an 'off' red.

6 AAA batteries required (not supplied!)

Infrared Micro Tanks

When it comes to micro battling, look no further. With real tracks, swivelling turrets, infra red guns and great action sound (through the handset) whether you're trundling along with a US Abrams, or rumbling towards your enemy with the German Leopard 2, you're about to start a game of micro-warfare that'll have you well and truly hooked.

Each tank is able to 'fire' an infra red beam, and every time it fires, it has a deeply cool little jump-back recoil. If you're unfortunate enough to be 'hit' by another tank, the light on the turret will blink, and your tank will freak out, spinning crazily in a circle. You only have five lives before your tank is disabled in battle, so watch out.

The Brick is an astonishingly realistic looking house-brick made of foam.

The Turds Trophies - For Those Who Really Deserve It

Trophies are usually reserved for those of us who have achieved something great, something to be proud of. Esteemed individuals such as these frequently occur in the sports world, others have worked out the solution to world poverty, some may have created the next massive cure to worldwide ailments, yawn.....the list goes on. Hmmm!, why is it that nobody's created trophies for the exact polar opposite, a kind of reward for total uselessness, stupidity or ridiculousness in others endeavours.

Well, the wait is now over! The Turds Trophies are the perfect iconic ego-bashing centerpieces for that very special person that everyone seems to know. You know them, they are the ones who just can't seem to get enough their own 'greatness' whilst never actually being able to pull off what they claim, state or occasionally preach to their peers.

6 trophies currently exist, although there's bound to be a whole load more in the turd pipeline - Sh*te Cook, Sh*te DIY, Sh*te Driver, Sh*te Footballer, Sh*te Golfer and Sh*te Lover.
