A Present For You...

Look at what I found over at Dymphna's Well... a gadget which turns off television sets. Persuade your loved ones that the TV is broken, and that you can't get a repairman in until the middle of next month... and then bask in the silence (possibly punctuated by anguished sobs... well, heck, you can't please everyone!)

    you are such an innocent LOL!

    You use this for the doctors office and other places that insist on having a TV on all the time for no reason ;-).

    Simon, Simon, Simon... *shakes head gently in sorrow*

    You've obviously been the other side of the pond too long to recognise that the post was ever-so-gently tongue-in-cheek...

    I thought they might have a law 'gainst it!

    No, honestly, I was being serious about the innocent thing, I didn't mean naive.

    A friend took one of these on our holiday in Portugal; he switched off all sorts of annoying TVs in bars, restaurants and lounges. Most useful. I wasn't quite so sure, though, when it went off accidentally and switched off one of the big public monitors at Fatima!
