usefull, useless

22 Apr 2009

They can be an invention, a product, social change, just one or two of each, but what for you is usefull and useless and why?
useless...the scart lead.
I want to meet the twat who invented this piece of crap, not for the idea of a cable that can carry more pieces of information, but for a fitting on either end that falls out of the appliance if you so much as sneeze near it, fucking useless without a doubt.
usefull...the toilet duck pad cleaner.
This little plastic wand has a trigger on it, that opens and shuts some jaws at it's end, into which you insert a small cleaning pad which you then release into the toilet bowl once you've cleaned it. A very real and hygenic replacement for the disgusting Hedgehog on a stick.

Useless - plastic bags on a roll that you can't open cos in being wound onto the roll they got welded shut! There's still at least 100 on the fecking roll!!
Useful - epilator. It works on shorter hairs than waxing requires, although it takes longer and still hurts like a bastard. Earned it's money in 3 uses though and I don't have to make an appointment 3 weeks ahead to get it done ;)

..... which happens to be very useful to wave and chase kids/partner with if they're being annoying lol

Sod the 'time out' thing, just wave a toilet brush at em, works a treat :lol:
Useless: Those pin board things made of cork and a million pins to hold notes n takeaway menus on. Great concept - but bluddy useless. Pin one thing on, and ten things fall off. Then spend 5 hours in casualty cos someones trodden on a pin evil

Useful: When camping in the middle of a pitch black field and have to use the portaloo :shock: As if it's not bad enough you need to use it, but trying to check if there's no wees/poos/muck in there, balance a torch while doing the toilet hover, is near on impossible...... Bring on the life changing device :bounce:

Bluddy brilliant piece of equipment, no more acrobats in the portaloo, can see the food that needs to go on the bbq, can even see if youâ€™re going to have food poisoning or not, cos is shows up if the colour of the meat, rather than guessing confused

Although does practically give people arc eye when trying to talk to them. You kind of have to speak, but look away from emâ€¦â€¦.. and donâ€™t laugh and bobble your head around, cos you look like a search light :? Apart from that, just brill :bounce:

Could do Dave, good idea worship

Could also use a magnet to skim the floor, Davids got one of them superdooper ones, the size of a matchbox and grips with 150kg of force :shock:
Unfortunately, walked past the radiator with it and it stuck itself on.... can't get the bluddy thing off!! :undecided:

Useless
The glass door on me microwave, or the strength of the light inside, dunno which is to blame dunno

can't see through it cos of the clear / obscured weave pattern on it, result being that anything that wants to rise up outa the container and can't be controlled on the timer cos the cooking time can vary slightly, can do.
Usefull
A lamp that just needs a touch to it's base to turn it on and off, way better than having to break me arm in two places with a mallet to reach up inside it to find them silly little switches. Having the mallet on the bedside cabinet took up all the room needed for my coffee cup.

hi the head lamp was a godsend when i did an upgrade on my desktop could see all and you can buy battery powerd halogen lamps with sticky backs for sticking where you need them from 2or3 in pack for about Â£6 a pack hope this helps with light problems

Useless: Mobile phones in a large handbag!! I can never find mine, by the time I do, the person has rung off, leaving the contents of my bag all over the place and my mobile wedged in a corner somewhere (covered in fluff, hair and boiled sweets confused

)..... Another thing, how come unwrapped old boiled sweets end up in my handbag in the first place - I don't even buy em! dunno

Kind of the handbag version of carrots in sick type thing :undecided:
Useful: Due to never being able to find my mobile, the most useful, best invention ever in the world :bounce: Phone rings, and now I can just put hand in bag and answer it!!! :bounce:

Pure genius, so handy!! :bounce:
