Souvenirs for the Royal Wedding anyone??

The Royal wedding is upon us. It's everywhere at the moment. Social index scores are going to go through the roof with all the tweets. Now I may be an Englishman and I am sure it will be a great day but for me I'll have it on the tele and that's about it.  Good luck to them, it must be strange being a Royal couple, with the obvious comparisons.

Anyway this blog isn't about that it's about the strange and random souvenirs that have come about as a result of this Royal shindig. 
Ill looking plates are only the tip of the iceberg! 

Over the last few days I've been seen some strange items on Facebook and the web and I thought I would put a few of them here for you.   

1) Royal Condoms from Crownjewelcondoms

This was brought to my attention last night. That is right folks you can purchase these special edition rubbers. Ideal for when you fancy a royal rumble or something a little more posh. Imagine the look on your ladies face when you tell her that William and Kate will be joining your night of passion. One of these discreetly left on the bedside cabinet will show her your about to treat her as Royalty. Can also be rolled out to provide all weather bunting, or giant water bombs.

2) Papa John's Wedding Pizza Papa John's Press release 

When I found this I thought of getting on the phone straight away and getting one. It's unique though and limited. Her dress is cheese based and William is sporting a salami suit with peppers. Lada Gaga eat your heart out. At least it looks like you actually might get a decent amount of topping on this one though. There is also a joke here about inches but its a Royal wedding so I have to be a little careful...

3) Iphone Wedding Cases       £7.99 from Trendylondonsouvenirs.com 

 This made me feel a little uneasy actually. 
 I was thinking there must be something out there for the person who wants to celebrate whilst holding their gateway to the social media world in the palm of their hand. Not only can you tweet the   day away you can also do it with a constant reminder of your  
love for the happy couple. I would say these are going to sell out fast but then what do i know about royal weddings. I used to really like our Charlie and Diana ashtray when I was a kid, that was well engineered to. Haven't seen many of them this time around though, I wonder why?

4) Harry and Katie??               From guandongenterprises ltd

Genius, I couldn't get a better picture of this mug but visit their site and have a good look. It would seem that someone wasn't quite sure how William looked! - This could be a genius purchase and one I am sure we will see in a few decades on the Antiques roadshow. Well we might you never know! - really have a look at the site its my favorite so far.

5) The Travelmug                  £20.50 from Zazzle.co.uk 

Now this one actually has a practical use and is well built. 

For a lot of my engineers out there that morning coffee is essential. 

Usually a quick slurp before leaving for work, well 

not anymore! Your morning sip will remind you of this 

glorious day from this day onwards. 

The only thing I would say though is that this is going to look better in the drink holder of a Jag than it is a old clapped out white van. French car holders may still apply as just having this in the car is going to add value. I think I must have something for mugs as 

I seem to like these last 2 items the most.

Thats is. There is a lot of other stuff out there but all these items are real. I've linked each one to its source so you can share in the joy of the big day. My advice is not to spend your money on plates and tacky items but instead choose one of the Royal selections above. 

Have a great day! 

Closing the laptop

I've been away for a week with the family and spending a little more time away from the desk I seem to have spent the last year of my life rooted at. In-fact, I looked at my chair today and there is a distinct impression of my arse cheeks pressed into the leather bounding.

For work I'm at the computer or on the iphone or on the landline. when I am not working and not out and about I'm usually reading things online, writing online, trying to work out the next thing. . 
My television viewing hours are less than double figures on a weekly basis as I'm plugged into to the online world.

I still had my wireless dongle on holiday, I still had to check emails but I was more regimented. morning and evening rather than constantly.

As we approach Easter, if you have family spend sometime with them, your online friends will still be there and so will your business. If you haven't afforded yourself the time lately because you have been so busy walk outside and take a big sniff of that crazy real world.

Normal service is now resumed, but I'm going to keep a little back for me and the girls - and shut this damn laptop more. 

is this how an Ant or a Bee feels ? I wonder .....
