Guess where we’re going 
After enjoying the Ideal Home show last month I was delighted to find another much more gadget orientated show is opening this Friday. The Best of Stuff is an annual show where various companies showing off their latest gadgets (just before Christmas coincidentally) .
This year promises to be something special with stands from the vendors like Archos, Creative, Gizmondo, I-Deck, JVC, Sharp Electronics, Q-Be, Nokia, Siemens Mobile, Philips, Sky, iriver and more.
You can get tickets from the Best of Stuff site and included in the price are free tickets to the What Hi-Fi Show

Become the life of the party with your own drunken robot!
