TV remote seems to have gone missing, coincidently I have just had a new sofa delivered. The guys turn up the remote is on the coffee table and when they leave it is gone. I would like to make it clear that I am in no way making any accusations, but wondered:
1. Has anyone else had any mysterious disappearances after similar deliveries.
2. Can anyone recommend a good universal remote, not too expensive (just bought a new sofa)
3. Has anyone seen it? If you could all have a look under you cushions I’d be grateful.

Did you check your pocket?

Penisland TV.

I'm telling you because he became captivated with it and isn't in a position to type with both hands.

I know an island of pens is exciting stuff but there's no need for that.

Try this place for a direct replacement; they sell just about everything and when my remote broke they supplied an OEM replacement for £15.

Back in college, a classroom prankster managed to convince our English Language teacher to visit www.penisland.com citing it was a very informative stationary site.

Fantastic because the classroom was backed against another English room where the teacher in the other room, could quite clearly see anything that was on the enormous interactive whiteboard in our room.

Lots of blushing from he.

Is it in your hand? I've looked everywhere on my desk for a pen once only to realise it was in my hand.

I'm a bit slow.
