Gadgets with FACES #199: A Poundland iPhone cable
Check Poundland out! It’s getting in on the iAccessories scene, in an attempt to make it appeal to fashionable young consumers rather than fat old unemployed broken husks that shuffle around looking for cheap tea bags.
“This little chappie was recently rescued from our local Cheap Electronic Rescue Center, commonly known as Poundland, but not even a nice iPod Touch based snack was enough to cheer him up. Poor fella” – Jay.
Works a bit better cropped, where you can see just how unhappy it is at a life where its formative years were spent in Poundland, before it was off to the home of an Apple user. Then death. The glorious release of death.

English. Note the stiff upper lip.

Is that not a moustache?
And I’d like to point out I’m not unemployed (yet) and am there for the 1.5 kg bags of sugar, not cheap tea bags.

Think it’s his lip. Questionable ears though.
Belatedly I’ve just realised what that is and it’s a fuckoff big bit of an adapter.

Isn’t this gadget number 200? Why the double 199?

Does it work upside down as a shouty man with a monobrow? He’d have a weird hair-do but I think it’d be less tenuous than this.

So we are still waiting for the elusive GWF200, as this is the second GWF199 (third, if you count the fact that the other GWF199 had 2 on it)

My wife like Poundland (an unfotunate side effect of the two kids, one income lifestyle). Judging by your description, Idiot, you’ve seen her there a few times.

It does work a lot better upside down – he’s more of a jolly/surprised robot now.

You’d be jolly surprised if you found yourself upside down and balls-deep in an iPod.

I think he’s preempting what screen your iPod or whatever will boot up to when you use him instead of Apple’s own or officially licensed accessories.

I need to get an intern to help with my counting
Although, to be fair, this is probably the first time I’ve ever actually counted up to 200, so some errors were to be expected.

Erm. I didn’t know this was a ‘thing’ until recently. Here is my collection.
