Controllers, chargers and mice.

18 Replies

Remote controls and chargers

Their numbers do increase

I think they must breeding

A practice which must cease

When you ditch a gadget

Or a TV you replace

The remote control or charger

Seem to stay and take up space

And so the numbers build up

You don't know which does what

You're frightened to get rid of one

It might fit something that you've got.

I don't know what the answer is

To solve my little grouse.

But making matters even worse

I've found another mouse!

Good morning Mr.D and I see that dear @sassy59 has taken the words right out of my mouth.....gosh,she's a quick one off the starting blocks,lol!😂

Well I laughed out loud when I looked and you are so right. I've got tv remotes that must belong to tv's ive/we've had years ago. I just can't part with them. Huh,😤another problem to deal with. Ce` la vie.

Those wonderful devices that emit the infra red

Means we can turn on anything from the comfort of our bed

But heaven forbid we should lose them or the batteries go dead

Cos we'll have to get up of our bums and twizzle knobs instead... :)

Nice one Skis. 😂

Thank you Janet, I don't share your belief in God, but there is so much going on everywhere, so much to write about. 😘

When my husband died and I cleared his desk and beside his sitting room chair, I filled 3 supermarket bags with leads, chargers, weird things without names!! to do with the modem links etc. In the 6 years since he died I have not needed to look in these bags for anything, but keep thinking if he thought it might be needed, it might be!!

There’s nothing worse than wanting something that you threw out yesterday.

I've got a huge document box full of the leads, cut down from two. Must get rid of them somehow as they're taking up the space needed for all the new versions.

in reply to Ergendl

Leads are very friendly things when you keep them in a box, they cling to each other and never want to part. 😉

Oh Venerable Don.

This is hilarious. I just spent 30 minutes attempting to set up a new modem.😡😡😡

Now if you lived closer I could have called you out to do it for me🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣

in reply to Whitechinchilla

The strange thing is that I have never had to ask help in sorting out my electronic problems I've always managed to do it myself. But if anyone asks me how I did it I can never remember, it's embarrassing sometimes.

Grasshopper with a fully functioning calculator :) x

in reply to skischool

The calculator that you have

Seems some power to lack.

Return it to from whence it came

And get you money back

in reply to skischool

"Don & Dog" sounds like the name of a pub. Now that would be a better business proposition. 😁x
