"No remote"...don't you sometimes wonder?
« on: June 03, 2010, 12:08:16 pm »
I am (of course) addicted to the AVSA online smalls. The strange thing: every second gadget (almost!) is advertised as "no remote". Now, even my parents' ancient Teac CD player has a remote. So, where have all the remotes gone? Do they go to the same place were one sock from a pair ends up?  :D

It is just a bit concerning. ???

I think remotes go to the same place odd socks go to... Also if you have a todler + pets houshold. Chance are Brutas snacked on one of your lesser used remotes and little Peter used the other to mix 'dugga' in the garden (after he watched you building that wall on the weekend)...


The past, the present and the future walk into a bar. It was tense.  :nutter:

I have some of them still with me. The thieves usually leave the remotes behaind.

You obviously had inferior quality thieves Norval. Get yourselves some guys who know what they are doing and you wont be stuck with useless remotes again. I dont have any unused remotes.
Caution, whatever you read above, may, wonder of wonders, contain some level of jocularity.
