  <body-html>&lt;p&gt;I have always said that my best ideas have been created either in the pub or on the toilet.(This does not mean that they are better ideas, if I am on the toilet in the pub.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The skill is in turning those ideas into realities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One Summer&amp;#8217;s afternoon whilst sitting in the beer garden, thoughts and ideas were flying about in the air, how could we create a business, that would be both profitable and fun and the same time?&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately as the afternoon progressed and the beer seemed to get stronger, the ideas became unrealistic and were soon forgotten.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Several weeks later I was asked by a friend if I would like to become a sponsor of his local Sunday league football team.  Passionate about football, I was very keen, but what was the benefit to me, of simply donating money to a football team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I soon began working on ideas that would allow me to advertise at the football club, and at the same time attract an interest from its supporters and visitors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gadgetsnfun.com&lt;/strong&gt; was created, initially with the view of selling all types of gadgets and other items that are of interests to the typical &amp;#8216;Lad&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However during my intense research I increasingly found that, although there are lots of gadgets out there, some very interesting, there were very few that I being a &amp;#8216;Lad&amp;#8217; would actually buy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My aim was to distribute those gadgets that &amp;#8216;Lads&amp;#8217; will buy, not just the interesing ones, but the real fun ones too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My next idea was to find a way of making &lt;strong&gt;Gadgetsnfun&lt;/strong&gt; a unique site, different from all of the other boring gadget sales sites.&lt;br /&gt;
I wanted to create a Fun side of the site, almost based on the social-networking phenomenon.  With the idea of having fun, viewing photos and videos, reading jokes and creating reviews on games and other interests of &amp;#8216;Lads&amp;#8217;.  To create a site where visitors could upload their own content and view others.  Also being the first port of call to buy some interesting fun Gadgetry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Years on, Gadgetsnfun has evolved into a true &amp;#8216;Fun&amp;#8217; site, and now with a complex team of both technical and sales staff behind me, we can continue with achieving success and having fun at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
