UPDATE:

Runners up:

Russell Steed: “I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I have a massive head and really short arms, my selfie game is poor. Also, come on! It’s my birthday!”

Achille:‘I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I’ve just been made redundant and I’m very hungover’

3. Caitlin K:

“I deserve all this gear particularly this week, because it would leave me looking so sheek.
My mates would be jealous of my top of range gear, a techie windfall, the nation would hear!
An alarm clock and headphones, the perfect pair, to wake up the other half, then give a smug stare,
Rolling over for a snooze, powered up to the gills, time for a selfie while she is stood still,
From the background she looks, at my tech laden pile, I set up the stick and ask her to smile!
She’s late for work, and has to run, while I stay at home and have mobile fun!”

The Winner:

ZeligIsJaded: “I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I slept in today after staying over at my GF’s due to a poor alarm on my phone, and when I finally awoke one of my arms was dead from sleeping on it. Finding myself in such a situation, I wanted to take a selfie and tweet it to the world because they’re interested in that kind of thing, but with my arm so numb, I had to wait for it to recover. By the time it did, my phone’s battery was dead, and I had no way to charge it as my only charger is too bulky to carry around. I’d promised my girlfriend I’d move her car to avoid clampers, but was too late. When I told her what happened she didn’t believe me, and I had no selfie to prove it. The whole morning was a disaster, all because I didn’t have an Olixar Qi-Tone Alarm Clock, a PowerCard Ultra, a Slim Credit Card Sized Power Bank, a Lightning and Micro USB Charge and Sync Key Chain and a Olixar Selfie Smart Pole. The bluetooth headphones would just be a bonus tbh”

Thanks all

Update:

We intend having a ‘qiuet word’ with MobileFun (see if there’s any spare bluetooths knocking about) for the following entrants: because they made ~~Karl~~ us cry…

Jimmy the Head: “I deserve all this gear particularly this week because… its genuinely my 33rd birthday on Sunday, booked Monday off work and would love to spend the day taking duckface selfies with the dog on Dollymount beach (will post a photo if I win)”

Shiela: “I deserve all this gear particularly this week because going into hospital on Monday for an op… poor me :’( Nothing serious, run of the mill procedure etc… prepare for the shitty hospital food pics – its a disgrace Joe :D

Tk Ickle: “I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I am “recovering” after being hit by a van while cycling to work. I believe it’s called being T-boned :( Considering the amount of traffic, including buses, that past while I was sprawled out on the road, I was quite surprised a pic of me didn’t end up on here. I could really use a power bank too.”

Prizw winners will be contacted by email.

  Just snip the chord off your old wired headphones, jerk yer head every now and again, and no-one could tell the difference.

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because my life needs some quantitive easing at the moment and mobile fun could make that happen.
BH24 January 23, 2015 at 10:56 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I’m sad and I’ve been told that your troubles always look worse when your close to them so I want to see what they look like form afar.
Custo January 23, 2015 at 10:56 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I have had that alarm clock on my Firebox wishlist for about 2 years and could never bring myself to spend €100 quid on it. But it would really tie the room together. Also, a dog pissed on my old wireless speaker, rendering it ‘banjaxed’ and because I’m such a raging hipster that I don’t have a TV, watching netflix on my laptop without it is now a pretty disappointing audiovisual experience.
Clampers Outside! January 23, 2015 at 10:57 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because when I hook up my phone to the portable speaker I’ll be able to paraphrase Ash Williams in Evil Dead III….

” Alright you primitive screw heads, listen up!

*dramatic pause*

See this? This, is my Boombrick ! “

David January 23, 2015 at 10:58 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week, as I’m going to Vietnam next Tuesday, and all of this gear would be put to excellent use. I promise NOT to send you back a selfie with the headphones on.
1. andyourpointiswhatexactly January 23, 2015 at 11:01 am
  
  Have fun there. Spend as little time as you can in Hue: it’s totally overrated. My happiest memory of that place was looking at in in the rear-view mirror when we left.
Russell Steed January 23, 2015 at 11:00 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I have a massive head and really short arms, my selfie game is poor.

Also, come on! It’s my birthday!
Stephanie January 23, 2015 at 11:01 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I just got told I was the second choice candidate for my dream job and will be continuing to struggle by in my part time job instead of finally getting a proper full time job and not worrying constantly about money.

DrowsyInDonaghmede January 23, 2015 at 11:05 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because my cat just spilled my last lemsip all over my alarm clock. Winning the gear is sure to give me that endorphin rush I need to get me over this flu, and the alarm clock would, well solve my broken alarm clock problem.
1. David January 23, 2015 at 11:52 am
  
  and get rid of the cat
sheesh January 23, 2015 at 11:06 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I’ve lost my headphones and my commute to work without the noise-cancelling oblivion of my music is a miserable cacophony of sniffs, coughs, screaming babies and loud one-sided telephone conversations.
the good helen January 23, 2015 at 11:06 am

‘I deserve all this gear particularly this week because i noticed broadsheet didn’t put a finish time on the competition and to even notice that is Anal and a bit weird. So I definitely think due to being different I deserve all those items
Sheila January 23, 2015 at 11:06 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because going into hospital on Monday for an op… poor me :'(

Nothing serious, run of the mill procedure etc… prepare for the shitty hospital food pics – its a disgrace Joe :D

delta V January 23, 2015 at 11:10 am

Surely it should be known as a…Narcissistick…thank you.
Anyway, I deserve these items as I suffer from debilitating piles and this device would allow me to examine and apply ointment more easily.
1. Clampers Outside! January 23, 2015 at 11:48 am
  
  Haha …on both accounts :)
Joe the Lion January 23, 2015 at 11:12 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I am a lonely internet commenter with no friends.
Joe the Lion January 23, 2015 at 11:13 am

Actually I deserve all this particularly this week because with it I will be able to achieve my lifelong ambition of being able to simultaneously piss, whistle, chew tobacco and wheel a barrow.
Bar January 23, 2015 at 11:16 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because:
* Blue Monday was this week
* Im broke after Christmas
* There have been 5 birthdays already this month that I’ve had to buy presents for
* Id like a present too
* Free stuff is always good
Benz January 23, 2015 at 11:17 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I snapped my Achilles tendon yesterday, am about to go under the knife this afternoon to repair same. Been told I’m off my feet for 1-2 weeks, 8-12 weeks in the magic boot thingy and 6 months to fully recover. Also, at the ripe old age of 35 my (five a side) football hobby is likely over…

All that makes me sad, but winning this would make very, very happy. Also, I could take selfies from my hospital bed and entertain the missus with them and keep myself occupied with all this equipment. Pleeease.
1. Joe the Lion January 23, 2015 at 11:19 am
  
  I hate to break this to you but with a broken ankle yer missus is likely to soon give you the boot as well. I would.
  
  Sure what use is a lad with a broken ankle to anyone?
Gillygilly007 January 23, 2015 at 11:19 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I just got a new job! An alarm clock would help me get up in the mornings, the headphone for aural pleasure while walking, and the sd card would extend my memory for the numerous street photos I take! The selfie stick? Well I’d use it in self defence should anyone try to rob my mobile fun, its scary out there!
1. Joe the Lion January 23, 2015 at 11:52 am

  Surely you can afford your own set of silly phone related devices, then?
Murtles January 23, 2015 at 11:27 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I have been jinxed by the technology gods. My phone went on the fritz due to a bloated battery, my laptop died due to an overheating problem, the drawer of my DVD player won’t open and on Wed night my TV screen turned a horrible shade of purple and has remained that way since. Last night consisted of me staring into the fire and wondering why the briquettes hate me. (I picked a bad month to quit drinkin)
Biggs January 23, 2015 at 11:28 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because my girlfriend had the ‘baby chat’ with me and now I think we trying for one and… WHAT AM I DOING?!
RoRo Shabadoo January 23, 2015 at 11:29 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I had to get two fillings and now my dental health confidence is at an all time low. So I could really do with some cool bluetooth gear to help cheer up my blue tooth…. (ill get my coat)
TK ickle January 23, 2015 at 11:32 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I am “recovering” after being hit by a van while cycling to work. I believe it’s called being T-boned :(

Considering the amount of traffic, including buses, that past while I was sprawled out on the road, I was quite surprised a pic of me didn’t end up on here.

I could really use a power bank too.
1. Sheila January 23, 2015 at 11:57 am
  
  Feck. You OK? And the bike?
2. Mick Flavin January 23, 2015 at 12:00 pm

Hank January 23, 2015 at 11:33 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I tried and tried to stay optimistic during Blue Monday. Little did I know that Azure Tuesday, Cobalt Wednesday, Denim Thursday and Navy Friday were all waiting in the wings to wreak havoc. I now a serious case of the January blues.
Winning all that gear would tickle me pink..
Eef Da Beef January 23, 2015 at 11:43 am

I deserve all the gear particularly this week because I’d love the chance to go tell people to “go f*ck yourselfie” when I see other people using their hands as a stick… Ha! Stupid regular people with non selfie stick hands…
Digs January 23, 2015 at 11:46 am

I “deserve” all this gear particularly this week because I don’t enjoy paying for items. I find the whole retail thing a bit of an inconvenience and I’m left empty inside every time I part with money. I also feel compelled to enter.
Davey T January 23, 2015 at 11:56 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I have a face that does not photograph a selfie well with my current lack of a selfie stick. How can I get the perfect angle with only my stubby little outreached arms? HOW???

  Davey, does the “T” stand for Tyrannosaurus Rex?
Mick Flavin January 23, 2015 at 11:57 am

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because…

-Selfie stick: I’m looking very handsome this week, and I really should be taking some sort of visual record of this for you, girl.
-Alarm clock and headphones: so I can get up before you and listen to an audiobook of a classic novel or a Linguaphone lesson (I like to better myself like that) while I cook you up an erotic breakfast of some kind.
-The other stuff: I’m not sure what they do, but I’m sure we can put it to some kind of sexy use. *winks coyly*
1. Joe the Lion January 23, 2015 at 12:24 pm
  
  I feel sick
Soundings January 23, 2015 at 12:02 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I’ve just lost two minutes of my life reading the greatest load of sorry-assed tales of woe by chancers who are probably faking their misfortunes and/or illnesses. In fact, I deserve the runner-up prizes as well, these other losers deserve nahim.
Psydeshow January 23, 2015 at 12:09 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because … for the second time this week I nearly just smashed my laptop by getting up with my headphone wire wrapped around my chair and yanking my laptop off the desk, both times caught just before going over the side.

The selfy stick would be handy to let my supervisor know I’m still writing my thesis at all of the hours, an alarm to remind me of the time normal people get up, and the charge card for well….charging foo!
Goober87 January 23, 2015 at 12:10 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because –

I am a young man from Dublin
Technology makes me tick
Selfies are vain
But I cannot abstain
So please give me this stuff and that stick!
Stapler Abroad January 23, 2015 at 12:11 pm

‘Cause this pr!ck needs a stick.
Niall Gallagher January 23, 2015 at 12:16 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I was physically attacked and robbed of my sausage roll by a large and fearless Seagull while walking through St. Stephens Green on Wednesday morning. This episode caused me to drop my phone and crack the screen on my Dog n’ Bone. Turned out to be a very costly and unsatisfying sausage roll. Pesky gulls!
rotide January 23, 2015 at 12:18 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because that is a marvellous set of gadgets that I would love to have and would far outweigh the embaressment of owning a selfie stick
P-Macs January 23, 2015 at 12:20 pm

‘I deserve all this gear particularly this week because, knowing my luck I’d accidentally set the alarm for 4 am, in my panic of waking up knock a glass of water over the speakers and power bank attached by the key chain to my laptop, frying the lot. As I extend my phone on the selfie-stick to tweet to my 3 followers the disaster that has just unfolded, the phone would slip from the stick landing on the headphones which inexplicably pick up the bluetooth of a passing pedestrian listening to Alanis Morissette’s frustrating titled ‘Ironic’, to which this story would make a suitably unironic addition too. With such heartache sure to follow who could begrudge me the short-lived joy of actually winning the items.

J January 23, 2015 at 12:24 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week, as I am having no fun with my phone, as it is an old Nokia brick .The tone of my alarm gives me the blues, my credit is slim and my head is all wired. So, my dear “Mobile”, be smart with your power and give me that stick, or I shall speak with Olixar and have you all fired.
Pete Fitz January 23, 2015 at 12:28 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week as I found out my new posting for work is in Damascus, where I will be for at least the next year. The alarm clock will make sure I don’t miss the APC ride to work in the mornings. I will be in lockdown outside work hours so the other stuff will make that bearable and I can use the selfie stick to check what is round corners without being shot at.
serveandreturn January 23, 2015 at 12:32 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because it ticks every single box for what I’ll need to assist me in a weekend of filming a short myself and my friends have scripted. Imagine the kudos of supplying a nascent Bay or Bruckheimer! The plaudits will be constant and effusive!!!
Caitlin K January 23, 2015 at 12:39 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week, because it would leave me looking so sheek.
My mates would be jealous of my top of range gear, a techie windfall, the nation would hear!

Rolling over for a snooze, powered up to the gills, time for a selfie while she is stood still,

She’s late for work, and has to run, while I stay at home and have mobile fun!
MrGavoB January 23, 2015 at 12:47 pm

Surely such superhuman resolve deserves rewarding. ( I did eat a twix for breakfast though )

Frilly Keane January 23, 2015 at 1:02 pm

I need all this gear particularly this week because I seriously need to up my game when it comes to pics of my dog.

Also not to be ignored is the upcoming referendum and the potential for preposterousity that should not be denied.

Also eile, all that stuff would make me look like a with it hip techie type. I’d love that. That’s all I’m short.
1. Joe the Lion January 23, 2015 at 1:08 pm
  
  pics of the dog are hard because the bastards won’t sit still
  
  A good approach is to wait near the end of the day when they are tired, give them a big huggy in your arms thingy and then just use the reverse photo thingy and then edit your own ugly face out
  1. Frilly Keane January 23, 2015 at 1:34 pm
    
    Tis getting my hound to actually move is the difficulty
    
    Now if I had the selfie bata I could hup ou’dat the lazy slab

Toe up January 23, 2015 at 1:23 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because it was my birthday 2 weeks ago (9th Jan). However, I have not really celebrated my birthday for the past 4 years, as my daughter was born on the 7th of Jan 2011 and my birthday has since been subsumed into her celebrations. Plus it is probably the worst time of the year to have a birthday, so please feel sorry for me and compensate me with gadgets!
The Bird in the Box January 23, 2015 at 1:23 pm

My little sister deserves all this loot as she’s been stuck on a trolley waiting for a hospital bed for 2 days with a perforated something (stomach I think), she can’t eat, she’s grumpy and she LOVES an oul selfie
whatsyeronesname January 23, 2015 at 1:33 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because usually Januarys are a drag, for everyone, as they are usually for me also, but this January has been particularly acute because I’ve experienced real homesickness after living 4 years abroad, which is actually bonkers. Being a techy/Gadget nerd the only thing that could make me feel better would be a bumper pack from Mobile Fun :)
That or Amy Adams please.
Lynsey January 23, 2015 at 1:38 pm

I deserve all this gear particularly this week because I had a bicycle accident on my first day cycling to work in the city centre and damaged my brand-new bike. Don’t worry about me though, my face broke my fall – so I am currently sporting a rather fetching ” beard-rash-on-a-botched-chin-implant” look.
