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!

Oh - everything other than the NAS and the cable boxes are off at night, in case you're worried about the place burning to the ground. I also have a smoke alarm and a fire blanket.

If small electrical fires are a possible worry you can buy small CO2 extinguishers at reasonable prices these days, just be careful when using as you don't want to knock yourself out.
Fire blankets are only really useful for fires within a container (pans, bins etc.) and for burning people.
Also and RCD on the socket would likely cut power if an electrical device went awry.

Um, dude? If the idea is to use the headphones to do it quietly, then why do you need the subwoofer plugged in? Surely the ability to unplug an item isn't unknown?
