Problems problems

I picked up some wireless headphones, so that I can play Guitar Hero loudly without annoying sleeping/working people.

The problem being that when I went to plug them in I discovered that already plugged into the sockets by the TV are:

TV
RAID server
Wii
XBox
DVD Player
Cable TV Box
Cable Network box
Wireless router
Amplifier
Subwoofer

and thus I am completely unable to plug anything new in without buying another power block.

Edit: Found another power block at the other end of the room - switched it over - and now have spare slots to plug things into.  Mwahahaha - the power!

You can probably get them from B&Q or Homebase, even Argos perhaps but they are much more useful than normal surge protectors as they are far more sensitive and can be tripped loads of time without having to buy new since they have reset buttons.
