The 2015 UK general election is mere weeks away, and the whole country seems to be getting terribly excited about it. Candidates are hitting the campaign trail, journalists are placing their bets, and everybody is tweeting like Kanye West just interrupted yet another acceptance speech.
However, we appreciate that not everybody can muster that level of excitement for politics. If a night in with David Dimbleby and Nick Robinson doesn't sound particularly thrilling to you, we've got the perfect solution: alcohol!
Yessir, there's nothing like a drink or five to make the election night go by that little bit faster. We've even got colour-coded drinking accessories for each of the five big parties - it's time to pick your side and support them by getting squiffy!
These bright red cups (which you may recognise from American Pie and countless other teen movies) are the perfect match for Ed Miliband's party. Of course, if your loyalties lay slightly further to the right, you may prefer...
...the royal blue version! Ideal for cheering David Cameron back into No. 10 while you get sloshed.
Given the losses that experts have forecast for the Lib Dems come election day, Nick Clegg and his followers may well need something slightly stronger than beer when the results are finally announced. Jagermeister might do the trick, and this lovely yellow cup is exactly the right colour for LD supporters. If you live north of the border, it also works for the SNP.
Given Nigel Farage's fondness for being photographed with a beer in his hand, we're slightly surprised that we haven't yet seen him chugging a proper British ale through one of these beer bongs yet. It's even the right colours for UKIP.
Not a UKIP fan? Fear not - here's a beer bong that's slightly more suitable for left-wing drinkers! The Green manifesto is pretty tough on waste, mind, so make sure you don't spill any.
Of course, if you're more interested in the
other kind of party, there are plenty of other apolitical items in our
Party Essentials section. Happy drinking!
Are you an avid comic book geek? Do you struggle to get out of bed on weekday mornings? Would you like to snazz up your home with a cool, retro-themed piece of pop culture merch?
If you answered 'Heck yeah!' to any or all of those questions, you may well be interested in our
Superman Alarm Clock. Its bold blue design is very striking indeed, and the addition of the iconic red-and-yellow 'S' logo makes it stand out a mile.
Want one? Of course you do! And the good news is that you might just be able to win one in our latest competition. We've buddied up with
Hyper Recruitment Solutions on Twitter, and we'll be giving away a Superman clock to one lucky winner this coming Friday.
Of course, you have to be in it to win it, so here's what to do:
That's all there is to it - as it says above, the competition closes at 10am on Friday (March 27), so make sure you get your entry in before then!

It's Thursday afternoon, which can only mean one thing: it's almost the weekend! Rest assured that we're already making plans for our 48 hours of freedom here at Gadget Inspector; if your Saturday night is still a blank slate, we'd highly recommend a few rounds of
Twist Pong.
Oh, you don't know what Twist Pong is? Here's a quick primer, courtesy of YouTuber Fhat Sam:
As the man said, Twist Pong is exactly what it sounds like: beer pong with a twist! Every time your opponent gets his/her ball in one of your cups, you have to spin the spinner and do as it says - this could mean drinking two cups instead of one, or performing a crazy trick shot, or even swapping sides with your rival!
Twist Pong is just one of the super-cool beer pong games we have here at Gadget Inspector. If all that spinning makes you feel a bit dizzy, why not try one of the others instead?
The winter is coming to an end, and if you are anything like
the Gadget Inspector team, you will be planning which sun-soaked country
you'll be visiting for your summer holiday, planning your day trips to the beach, and
eagerly watching the band announcements from your favourite festivals.
So imagine that you are at your favourite festival or your
favourite beach with your best mates around you, and you have just taken the
perfect selfie. You know, the one that everyone will see on Instagram and instantly
be jealous of?
Then, suddenly, your phone battery dies and you can’t upload the
picture until the end of the day...or worse, the end of the weekend!
We have all been in that situation, and that's why the Ultra
Power Bank has made our Gadgets We Cannot Live Without This Summer list.
This super-powered battery charging device can fully charge your iPhone 5 times on one charge! This makes it super-useful for those days when you want to just lay by the sea, catching some rays.
If you are unlucky enough to have the battery die in your tablet and your smart phone at the same time, don’t fear - the power bank can charge up two devices at once! Maybe you can lend your charger to your friend if they get stuck (in return for a drink, of course!)
Hopefully you are now convinced that this is the gadget that you can’t imagine spending your summer without this year. The good news is you can buy the Ultra Power Bank today from Gadget Inspector for only £40.00, leaving you with a bit of extra cash for your summer plans!
#MakeASongBritish is currently trending on Twitter, with people from all over the UK putting a wonderfully British spin on all of your favourite hits. We couldn't resist getting involved - here are 8 of the best BritSongs we could come up with:
1. Excuse Me, Sir, Could You Please Leave - Michael Jackson
Featuring a polite yet firm guitar solo from Eddie Van Halen.
2. I Will Always Love Queues - Whitney Houston
This could be the national anthem.
3. (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Drink Tea!) - Beastie Boys
4. All About That Boat Race - Meghan Trainor
There are plenty of songs about football, but not many about rowing. It's about time that changed.
5. A Rather Good Song, Though We Do Say So Ourselves - One Direction
'Best Song Ever'? You'd expect those 1D lads to be a little more modest - aren't they supposed to be British?
6. Do You Love Tea - The Contours
"Because, if not, then frankly I don't think this is going to work out."
7. Stuck on the M4 with You - Stealers Wheel
This one assumes that you're driving towards Wales. Otherwise, Gloucester would be on the left.
8. Scone de Replay - Rihanna
If you didn't laugh, it's because you're pronouncing 'scone' wrong.
