    RC Desk Battling Tanks

    Each tank has a little infra-red gun, and when you fire at your opponent's tank, a wee light goes on the top of the victim, and it's put out of action for a few seconds. The only way to escape is to out-manoeuvre your opponent. Suddenly a keyboard becomes a place of refuge, a mouse is an ambush point, and an employer is someone to be totally ignored in the heat of the battle. Utterly compulsive and undeniably stupid - office combat's just gone miniature!

    they would definitly pass some time in class :D

    it's a great site, and the button could be very useful. i actually have similar cufflinks in silver which get pressed reguarly. doesn't do anything but sometimes makes me feel better.

    iwoot are pretty good on delivery and stuff too, but be careful about using a hotmail address as a point of contact, as for some reason hotmail classes all mail from them as junk, and it'll be dumped on the way into your mailbox.

    probably the best site of it's type, and one of the first, in what is now a very overcrowded market. bought a few things off them in the last 18 months.

    good stuff.

    The postal charges are a little steep though, aren't they? I just ordered a gift for Christmas, value £14.95. The postal charge is £7.95 to ROI. I checked out their website, and this is a standard charge for all orders to Ireland. The only other option is for 'parceline' delivery, but that comes to £15.95.

    €12 extra fo delivery is quite a bit more on top of their prices.
