Our friends over at The Gadget Store have noticed we have a small affection for the beautiful game (football to those that don’t know what I’m talking about) and have kindly donated a box full of England flags to give away to our readers.

So if you want a free St. Georges flag (3ft x 5ft or a car flag) leave a comment to this post saying what you like about gadgets and football. Make sure your leave a real email address (which we will never ever share) so that we can get a physical address to send the flag to. All flags will be given out on a first come first served basis.

Thanks again to The Gadget Store for this cool freebie.

This model costs £450 but if your after a bargain you can get the previous version for 1/2 price (£175). More details here found via Stuff.

As many of you already know, the World Cup’s rapidly approaching and is very much on our thoughts. It’s interesting how football and gadgets have converged today with the simultaneous announcements that David Beckham has had two BMW X5 SUVs stolen using laptop computers, and that Toshiba are offering rebates to UK customers who have bought one of their laptops should England win the World Cup for the first time since 1966.
