Portable rotary phone

Okay, I admit - I'd laugh my ass off if I saw someone with one of these. But $500 for a pimped second-hand phone? C'mon, guys...

Phone comes fully assembled and tested. All you have to do is open the phone, insert your SIM card, and turn the unit on! The unit will utilize your phone number and account minutes. Phone dials out like normal through the rotary. Incoming calls ring the original, loud, gong style metal bells. Please note: As with all cellular phones, there is no dial tone.

"One giant cock-up for mankind"


The footage of Neil Armstrong's historic moment is one of the most important artefacts of the 20th century.

While the television broadcast seen by 600 million people in July 1969 is preserved for posterity, the original tapes from which the footage was taken have been mislaid in the vast archive of the United States space agency Nasa.

Swackets are back!

It's a sweater! It's a jacket! It's a swacket!


Sadly, I really don't give a toss about fashion trends. I just wanted to jump at the chance to use the word "swacket."

If you actually do care about swackets, feel free to visit Garnet Hill for the deets.

Place the nightlight candle in the holder and light, the heart appears automatically!
