RBS Six Nations Championship
The 11th Annual Six Nations Championship sees rugby union teams of England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, France and Italy locked in a battle to win the coveted Six Nations cup, with matches held in major stadiums in all six countries from 6th February to 20th March 2010.
This is a chance to support your team at home or abroad as the countries of the northern hemisphere will play some of the most competitive and exciting rugby matches ever throughout February and March. Tickets are available for matches in Croke Park Eire, Twickenham Stadium London, Murrayfield Stadium Edinburgh, Millennium Stadium Wales, Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France and Stadio Flaminio in Rome, Italy with prices ranging from £44.31 to £215, depending on location of seat.
Can Ireland win a Grand Slam title again in 2010 or will a rampant England hold on to the record for winning the most points and return to the glory days of 2003? Will Wales snatch victory back from the Irish or France return to their winning form or maybe Scotland and Italy will upset the odds and confound expectations? Crowds can expect more of the same suspense, trauma, indescribable triumphs, bitter defeats and surprises that were experienced at the 2009 championship.
As a cultural and social occasion, the matches offer a wonderful opportunity to see the sights of some of the greatest cities in the world with a host of entertainments, restaurants, cafes and bars on offer. All this and the chance to watch international rugby played to the highest standard too –what more could you possibly wish for?
Lovebox London Weekender
“You can’t beat London as the hippest place on the planet, the Lovebox Weekender is proof of that,” says DJ, Gilles Peterson.
In July this year, the newly expanded site hosted more than 50,000 people in mid July to view some of the best music on the scene from genres including indie, disco-punk, folk, world, rock, hip hop and electronic. Delivered from dramatic sets and stages, the performances were delivered by bands like festival founders, Groove Armada, Duran Duran, hip hop band N.E.R.D., Florence and the Machine, Friendly Fires and Ladyhawke.
Despite being set in the heart of the city the overall space adds to the whole experience of the festival with gourmet food and drink stalls, specially designed venues and buildings with hidden corners and leafy vantage points from which to view the stage.
And as winner of the Best Medium Sized Festival in the UK Festival Awards 2008 it isn’t surprising that Lovebox London Weekender is becoming one of the essential events on the London cultural calendar.
Set in Victoria Park bordering Bethnal Green, Hackney and Bow, the event has become synonymous with cool urban happenings and super-charged rock and roll and dance.
Ultrasonic Sensor Parking Alert
It’s never easy reversing into a garage, especially if it’s full of accumulated junk.
The Ultrasonic Sensor Parking Alert guides you straight in with flashing lights and stops you in the right position. Once you’ve used it, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
Consisting of a Sensor Module which is mounted on the wall at bumper height and a Display Module sited on the wall within easy visibility of the driver, the sensor works ultrasonically to detect when a vehicle is near, monitoring its speed and distance. This causes the yellow light on the Display Module to flash slowly, getting faster and faster as the vehicle reaches the optimum position when the light will change to continual red. You can choose from three different stopping distances at one, two or three feet away from the wall.
Additional features include screws or hook and loop tape, a low battery indicator and auto shut-off after 15 seconds with the 4 AA batteries lasting for up to one year.
DormVault Laptop Safe
A foolproof method to prevent anyone stealing your laptop, the DormVault Laptop Safe not only ensures it stays exactly where you left it but it will prevent flatmates or family from abusing it with their playlists and losing your documents in the process.
Made out of rugged steel, the safe will hold a 17 inch laptop and accessories. With mounting brackets, multiple-size bolts, wingnuts and a combination lock that fastens the laptop to furniture, no-one (with the possible exception of Houdini) will be able to get into it, or move it for that matter.
There’s additional room for valuables like iPods, cell phones, digital cameras, cash or jewellery in the door space. No tools are required to attach the safe to items of furniture and its bracket construction consists of a bracket arm and two inside fastening, locked nut and bolt assemblies. Designed specifically with the student in mind, the safe is lightweight at 11 pounds and can be fitted easily into tight spaces.
