    PENGUIN TEA TIMER

    Making tea, though easy to do, is also time consuming. Once you pour the hot water into the cup, you must patiently hover over it, waiting for the tea to steep. Well, the Penguin Tea Timer happily does the waiting for you.
    Place your tea cup under the beak and set it to the desired time. As you turn the timer dial, the beak lowers the tea into the hot water. When time is up, a bell sounds and the penguin automatically lifts his beak, removing the tea bag from the water.

    I actually saw that giant remote (or a similar one) in Maplin's in Limerick a few days ago. Was tempted to get it, but remembered that its pointless without a tv :cool:
