    Brothers, i need your help. I need gadgets. You know, labour saving devices invented for the likes of man who wishes to do almost nothing or as little as possible.

    But i do not expect help without giving some in return.

    So i give you.....

    http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20060627/readywhenur-sms-kettle/
    I think my dream gadget has just been invented. It’s laziness at its peak! This gadget is called ‘ReadywhenUR’, an ingenious title when I tell you what this thing can do. You send a SMS text to your kettle and it boils. Can you believe it! I’m definitely going to be getting one of these.

    When you send the text, it is sent to the satellite and sent back to the kettle to be received by the built in radio receiver. I can see it now. You are watching telly and want a cup of tea during the adverts but can’t be bothered getting up, going into the kitchen and waiting on the kettle to boil before returning to the sofa only to miss the first two minutes of your favorite TV program.

    All you have to do is text your kettle (can’t believe I’m saying that) before the break, and all you will have to do is walk in the kitchen and serve your already boiled water.

    If you are a gadget lover like me, you’ll go through about 100 texts a month anyway, so sending a text that will boil your kettle sounds like very little effort and what are a few texts when you’re spending hundreds a month on gadgets?

    What a cool wedding gift, or house moving present! Great for when you have a friend over for a coffee and it certainly will impress the ladies. When you have been at work all day and just want to sit down to a nice mug of hot chocolate, text your kettle before you arrive and voila.

    This amazing kettle can be yours for £100, which is more than your average kettle but will save you time and effort in the long run. No need for a husband or wife to make a cuppa for you, you just need your mobile and a ‘ReadywhenUR’.

    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Brilliant! I may have to get me one of those kettles!!!

    Get yourself one of those wimmins. The "low-maintenance" ones are best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,510 ✭✭✭sprinkles


    Ha! They'd be more expensive and less responsive though. At least the Kettle would boil the instant you told it to, none of this "you don't really love me" whining from it :)

    Brother sprinkles - You need to upgrade to a newer model that can operate in "silent" mode & has the "emotional" module removed. You'll find that they are far more efficient than the models that you have obviously used in the past.

    Brother Hill Billy, you intrigue me. My wimmin keeps saying "What have you done for me lately?".......is there a patch to fix this or do I need a new wimmin?

    Brother Kenny5,
    It depends on the type of wimmins you have. This may help you:
    Subject: Failed Upgrade
    Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure.

    In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization, where it monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Smoking 10.3, Boozing 2.5 and Saturday Night Pubs 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I cannot keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run some of my other favorite applications like Night Club 4.3, Dance 'n' Drink 2.0 and Bachelor Party 7.77.

    I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall does not work on this program. Once I tried to uninstall Wife 1.0 but got this error: "General Protection Fault in module House Security. The Uninstallation will abort." Can you help me, please?

    Here was the reply from Tech Support:

    Re: Failed Upgrade
    This is a very common problem among men, but it is due mostly to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program. Wife 1.0 is actually an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run everything.

    It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge Wife 1.0 from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under "Warnings-Alimony/Child Support;" this was given to you at time of registration with Wife 1.0. I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation. Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs).

    The best course of action will be to enter the command C:APOLOGIZE. In fact I would suggest you use this command every time Wife 1.0 crashes on your system. Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high maintenance.

    Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Chocolates 5.0 or Movies 4.5.

    Do not, under any circumstances, install Visual Secretary With Short Skirt 3. This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

    Recent surveys show add-ons like Visual Dress 2.0, Diamond Necklace 3.0, and A Quick Tour To Temple 1.0 are the best Third Party tools supported by Wife 1.0 to allow it to run smoothly and effectively.
    Best of luck!

    Thanks Brother Revelelation Joe, it seems I'm running the basic Girlfriend 7.0, I can't seem to find anything on this in the manual. I may have to return her to the manufacturer for repairs and firmware upgrades.

    A waste of time Brother holding on to them. Get a new one. Unless of course you're tied into a long-term maintenance agreement.
