Doorbell...

Wonderful invention....

Somebody pushes a button and you automatically know someone is at the front door, even if you are upstairs in the bath.........

Wireless broadband, sit in the garden and surf the net. Fantastic!

Cheers

Tell the truth.

You got fired.

Who the hell wants to listen to your Kraftwerk meets Joy Division dub mix?

I could do with one of those universal remotes that would possibly double up as a mobile phone. Mainly because currently, sitting to my left, is a TV remote, a DVD remote, a main hi-fi remote, a Minidisc deck remote, my mobile phone, and this thing that projects the time and date on the wall. And I always pick up the wrong one if I'm not concentrating.

A mate of mine installs all sorts of things n longboats/barges in numerous marinas locally for all sorts who chose that lifestyle over bricks and mortar.

Anyway besides PIR lighting, to trigger throughout length of boat as occupied, he has put in motorised sky dish to acquire best signal on moving platform,

silent start generators to kick in when batteries run low due to all these gadgets, and....
