h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Good morning all!!i want to know ,does anyone ever get annoyed with all the remote controls for all these things that we have now
???
We have one for the tv,and one for cable.One for the video,and one for the dvd.then on the coffee table we have the phone,which is wireless,and my mobile!!And the keyboard for e-mails etc...they're taking over the house!!!

hi sal.

we arent as bad as you

we dont have a dvd player

the phone isnt cordless and sits away from everything else and my mobile is usually in my handbag.

but its a right pain when you try and do something and you pick up the wrong remote and wonder why it isnt doing what you wanty it to do

At "your early nights in with hubby" PM

Yep! I know whatyou mean about remotes lying around We went to play a DVD the other day, and I couldnt find the remote
an to top it all, I couldnt see the controls on the DVD, as it was too low and I coulnt even see them with my specs on

Hmm! Just as well I dont need glasses for "Everything" Eh!
Smudger,

something slightly linked to the remote topic.

has a habit of putting his mobile on to charge and he forgets where he has put it.
he then gives me earache as he blames me for touching it and not leaving it where he last out it..
the times that we have had to ring it to find it and he still blames me and i never touched it in the first place.

anyone go to answer the phone when it's ringing on the telly.....
i've not got a clue wot our remotes do, only the telewest one... lol...

helen, i always get the blame for owt that goes missing, and half the time i don't even know wot he's lost.... well, except the plot...

I got really stressed out once,what with the kids all wanting my attention and hubby moaning,I had just come back from shopping,then could'nt find my purse.....I had put it in the freezer when i had put shopping away,,,talk about putting my spending on ice LOL.

Hi everyone

My answers the door when the doorbell rings on TV. It is one of the few tones he can hear these days.It took a year to teach him the difference when he was young.

There is a remote that will program itself now! It brings all your remotes into one base so you never lose it or the remote codes if the individual original ones are lost.
*thank goodness for universal remotes*

Thank goodness for things that turn off ,and on,,without a remote control.Now a remote that turns hubby over in bed when he snores,that would be a different matter!!!Oh!!and one that fills the kettle,and turns it on...yeah!!!

Hey!! This is I came on to post about what life was like before we had "Remote Controls" and there it was!!!! Now that is Eh!

Any way, remember the old days when you had to get to change channels on the TV??
I think the USA had them long before we did in the UK
Smudger,

evening all...

i remember the tv sets with the dial channel knob, and only getting bbc1 and itv when i was a child.... and in black and white...
i remember sunday evenings listening to the "wireless", the top 20, or "hit parade" as it was called then.... that was followed bt "sing something simple"....

When I was 13 my Dad bought me a wireless for xmas,it was dark green/limegreen with an handle on top and a big dial on side transister we called it,used to sneak it up to bed and have it on under my bedclothes on late Sunday night listening to top 20 on radio Luxenburg,
