    boring task for the morning - order a new remote control

    Oh what fun to look forward to in the morning - the kid's DVD player remote packed in and I have to order a replacement.

    I would much rather be doing a MS Project Plan for the next phase of the current Project.

    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      you could write a project plan for the procurement of a remote control instead

        I had a b&w tv from the 60’s (in the 80’s) with a dial tune, I had to get off my lazy arse to change channel.

        Kids these days.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          OH God dont talk to me about bloody remote controls MR P has 7 - SEVEN of the feckkers. All for various bits of audio visual entertainment - oh and one for the lights. It drives me potty. I wouldnt mind but the TV only gets switched on at the weekend! I dont see the point of HD + bluRay stuff. I suspect its a bloke thing.

                tell him to get one of those touch pad flat panel remotes that combines all the remotes into 1 more complicated remote.. job done, 1 remote and as remote commando he'll be the only one who understands how to work them

                tell him to go here and fill in the questionnaire to find your ultimate remote

                    1 remote to rule them all...

                    Logitech Harmony is the way forward.
