following on from the juicer thread and my dsicovery of a new gadget thats great the bread making machine...
i wondered what gadgets do you love what gadgets are a waste of time
ill throw in a couple for starters
juicers ....BAH HUMBUG RUBBISH throw it away
PDA (htc touch hd)
....LOVE IT ...wouldnt be without one ..phone sat nav windows based, google maps camera ipod i phone for that matter all built into one handy tool
I love my iPod.
I currently loathe my touch screen phone - LG Viewty - just not loving it anymore.
couldn't live without my george foreman grill.... i love it!!!!!
Love my hoover
Hate the grass strimmer it scares me
rose loves her betty...its her robot vacuum cleaner she talks to it!
its not really called betty, she calls it betty...she switches it on and then sits down while it wanders around hoovering ..ive heard her talk to it on more than one occasion...' aww your tired, off you go back to your charger, have a rest' as it bleeps away..
loves: Ipod...great for walking around town...hide the headphones under your hair, big smile on your face, take the first step and everybody else can stuff themselves. (they'll take you for a lunatic, but, who cares?)
satnav...wouldn't know my way out of my pj's without it (not that I wear any)
it helps on the job and if it wasn't for my tomtom I would never have get laid last night. (because I'm a gentleman and have yet to find a local girl)
hates: my iron...no matter how long I stand there ironing my clothes, my shirts look worse than before.
not sure it's the iron's fault though.
Ummmm I love gadgets and when I say love.. I mean that I just wouldn't live without them.
My i-pod goes everywhere with me.
My sat nav is brilliant.... well, until it fucking well took me to some random place in the middle of the feckin woods with no corner shops or street lights or anything. Normally it is brilliant.
I love my Blue tooth headset for my phone.
I absolutely adore my Dyson washing machine and Dyson vacuum cleaner.
I love my hitachi wand.
I don't use gadgets in the kitchen as I make everything from scratch.....so I suppose I love my knives to be sharp but they don't really class as gadgets tho' I suppose.
Favourite gadget? satnav - but I need a new one since this one's out of date and can't be updated. It keeps sending my up blocked roads and wrong way round one-way systems.
Worst gadget - iron. It works fine - I just loathe ironing. There is simply no point to it whatsoever and it takes time, effort and electricity to get rid of creases you just put straight back in when you put the clothes on.
Favorite is my Swiss army knife if I ever get a horse,and it treads on a stone I am ready!
Least favorite is Silky's bloody Iphone, not only is it a rubbish phone combined with a rubbish battery - it takes after the Ipod player in that its sole purpose is to make her sit on it all evening and pay silly money for stupid purchases from their 'store'. Forget Ianything and buy a Sony Ericsson phone and an Archos player.
Love - My Computers, because without them, I'd not work, rest or play.
- My little Ipod Shuffle and the stupidly expensive headphones I bought for it that cost more than the player.
- My Keyboard as it relaxes me and annoys the whole family when I bash out some god awful tune on it.
Hate : My Mobile, Watches of all kinds (time is overrated), Electric Razors (Pointless, expensive and by and large, utterly crap)
I totally love my iPod Touch (a brilliant gadget!), and my Intel iMac (beautiful Screen). And my Gibson Les Paul electric guitar (in my head I hear Jimi Hendrix, but I know I really sound more like Lister from Red Dwarf :cry: )
However I really hate mobile phones. They seem able to do everything apart from making calls, and each year another useless function is added just to make it different from last year's. Pointless.
I think the only gadget I have, is my mobile. That's OK - does a job.
Loves her : games console...... yes im that type of g33k, when i cant sleep i can just simply sit there on the GC and play away and get lost in the play !
Laptop and Recorder: benifits me with my studies and other things !!!
Hates her : TV 32inch is just not good enough for me anymore !!!
Car Stero: Its just not loud enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have gadgets running on the side of my desk top. What do I run?
The picture gallery.
What is in the gallery?
My wife and other ladies.
So if I do not keep working, with full size windows, my mind starts to wonder.
mrs fun's likes : my dildos lol , sat nav , laptop (passworded so no kids access lol)
mrs fun dislikes : nokia 6220 ( had problems since i got it , had it replaced and now the replacement is falling apart DON'T GET ONE)
mr fun likes : mobi nokia 6300 .. brill phone , i-pod , laptop
mr fun dislikes : most kitchen gadgets .. usually a waste of money.. (apart from blender ) kids xbox cos i'm crap at playing the games
Got to be my Slingbox at home in the UK and my Slingcatcher out here in Tenerife as it means I can watch and control my full sky+ in the UK whilst out here in Tenerife. Brilliant!
For me it's the mother of all gadgets and probably isn't even regarded as a gadget by most people anymore. The thing that sits in almmost every living room in the land along with a large percentage of bedrooms and quite a few kitchens and even the odd bathroom and car. Have you sussed it.... The television remote control. If I'm bored and theres nothing on tv I can spend an hour on the teletext or just channel surfing.
As for a worst gadget I haven't really got one. Maybe ipods / mp3 players when I'm trying to communicate with my teenage kids. They often nod but thats usually just to the music. There again communication with my teenage kids without there ipods can be difficult.
a gadget which Iwill now love:
the stylophone.
Yup... that's the one. Rolf Harris and all that
"um chcka ahh chcka" "can you guess what it is yet?"
that's the fella... and his little box of tricks from the '7o's.
But.... it's been updated...
you can feed your mp3 player through it now and play along!!!
everybody!
bzzzz fuuuussshmmm I wanna whoooombzzz zztttztzzz fuck you cczzzzt lika animallll
mmmmzmzzzmmzzzbp
I'll be back with a 'hate' when I've mastered an overture or two.
