Neighbours are great for certain things, like borrowing sugar, beer and lawnmowers off but the downside is that they tend to spy on you and steal your Wi-Fi.

Sticking with the paranoia theme of the blog below, it’s time to stop hacking neighbours – and terrorists in your neighbourhood – nicking your Internet access and stealing your identity. Rather than investing in hi-tech gear though, all you need is a tin of paint. Or should I say, the EM-SEC Coating System. You know this for real by the ridiculous language security firms use – just read on.

EM-SEC Technologies has created a new paint – or “Electromagnetic Fortress” that blocks hackers intercepting data from the airwaves. Just one coat of the EM-SEC Coating System will do the trick. The company tested it on its HQ, a.k.a. its Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF). See what I mean?

This stuff was created for the US military but has now been cleared for corporate and domestic use. There’s no price but I’m guessing it'll give Dulux a run for its money.-Martin Lynch

Just how paranoid are you when you travel? Do you trust those devil foreigners? Do you even trust your friends? And so you shouldn’t.

To keep pace with your growing sense of isolation and paranoia, you’ll probably want something to warn you when you are being spied upon. The iTeki Hidden Camera Detector Pen detects wireless signals from hidden cameras, secreted in hotels, dressing rooms and changing rooms – all just waiting for a glimpse of your fat hairy arse, which will then be unleashed on a horrified and unsuspecting Internet audience.

If that’s not enough reason to get this, I don’t know what is but, since £7 is a lot of money, it also comes with a UV light for testing whether your cash is real or fake.-Martin Lynch
