Default Only in NZ...

This is one of the most dangerous things I've seen since that Malaysian chicken soup I had in November (won't say too much, but the word "squitters" springs to mind....)

How long until someone wraps themselves and their slow-moving spouse round an unsuspecting pedestrian??

Now don't you be getting me hopes up!!

Anyhoo, another crappy invention that solves a non-existant problem is the self-closing toilet seat. All of the NZ-based contributors must have seen the ad on the tellybox for this abomination?? I mean - what WERE they thinking?? And as for the guy with the beard in the ad - I hope he never gets an acting job again in his life! "Mr Sell-out"!! Speaking as a geezer, I for one have never seen the problem with the toilet seat being up or down, because I applied male logic and cracked this one about four decades ago - if it's down, I can use my hands to open it, and if it's in the "up" position, I can use the same hands to close it if I want. Simple eh?? And I've just saved you a few dollars too!

What really amuses me is that somewhere, the are product development managers in suits sitting in meetings discussing tat like this!

Invention? I used to do that as a kid - tow someone else (or something else)


Also used to put chippy forks on the brake blocks to make a clicking noise whilst the wheels spinned. (wasnt worried about spokes in those days)
