Stanley Stapler
Neat, small, powerful. It doesn't come with any staples or brads, so I tried with some 18g 15mm pins that we use at work with pneumatic pin guns. They should have worked, but they jammed every 4 or 5 strokes. I bought some Stanley brads of the same gauge and length, and they work every time. Don't skimp on quality!!
There's lots of power in the hammer action, but the tool does need to be kept tight against the work if it is not to recoil and leave the brad or staple sticking out of the surface. No problem on flat, horizontal surfaces, but a little wearing on ceilings and walls - you need a fair amount of wrist strength, but the results are worth it.
Fast and effective - worth the money.

Archos 45 Platinum
At last, a phone I can use to access the internet without a wifi router. You may think this is trivial, but I've never been able to do this with previous "smart" phones. It may not be the cutting edge of phone technology, but it works for me - job done!
Good size without being too bulky, fits in a pocket, clear screen. What more would you want from a phone?
Black Adjustable Folding Tripod Music Stand Sheet Holder Orchestral Conductor

Music stand
Well, it matches the description perfectly, BUT I found it a little lightweight in terms of strength; I used to have a similar stand but it seemed much "beefier" than this one. The music platform is quite flimsy and bends easily, and the tubing seems quite thin-walled. It's still strong enough to hold music and have some percussion instruments clamped to the rising tubes, though.
HOWEVER, it's a jolly sight better than these folding stands that pinch your fingers when your back's turned, and it's still good value for the money (if you pay less than 10GBP).
I would recommend this stand, but with the proviso of the lightweight issue.
