my kettle just boiled

Absolutezero

I bought a new kettle today and it boils about 30 seconds faster than my old one. Have you been pleased by your purchases of new technology and would you like to share that with us?

I bought one of the foot cleaners you see advertised on TV.

Bit saucy @ 10 quid but damn my feet are silky smooth since.


Congrats on the new kettle

I was very disappointed when I ordered what I thought was a state of the art flashlight. Who knew that changing the "a" to "e" could make such a difference.

I bought a food processor recently, it has all these attachments for grating, slicing etc. and there is a blender/juicer thingy as well. It made me realise that anything can be fun if you have gadgets, I love it!

Non integrated batteries, in a tooth brush?

Where are you living Bulgaria, Turkmenistan or some other mental former USSR country.

Rechargeable brushes are criminally expensive.

Erm, Bulgaria are actually progressing faster than us

when UPC had 50mb broadband they had 128kb DSL

UPC do 150MB now.... Bulgaria do 300MB to the home in some areas and can match 150 in really rural areas...and its cheap as hell

Just 1 example

That the thingie that has hard skin flaking off your foot from its roller?
Does it gather all those skin shavings?
Have you put them on the dinner table instead of shaved parmesan cheese and noticed if anyone knew?

I thought this thread title meant something dirty, like a code for something.

p.s. MacGyver is on Netflix

I just noticed that, watched an episode (the one where he is in the casino and takes off the girls dress using a paper clip and a big of red string).

Then I come on and read this thread, unbelievable!

P.S. Did anyone ever try to boil milk in a kettle? I bet McGyver did.

I don't think any piece of household technology has ever made me think it was amazing... Oh except my vacuum cleaner is one of those Cat and Dog Miele ones, it's unreal, practically takes the carpet up. I don't even own a pet, but I shed hair like one

And actually on that note, the GHD is probably the best piece of equipment in my house. It has succeeded where many other inferior straightners have failed.

Dude its Broadband

We bought a snazzy red Morphy Richards kettle a month ago and I love it, it does boil a lot faster than our old one, then again they all do at first. We also bought a Zanussi Jetsystem washing machine last summer, when our old Zanussi gave up the ghost after about 14 years. I love that it has a led display showing me how long the wash will take etc, little things for little minds:o

There ministry of science own an electrostatic accelerator, a research reactor and a neutron generator.The most powerful supercomputer in Eastern Europe (one of the top 100 in the world as of 2009), an IBM Blue Gene/P.According to MENSA International, Bulgaria ranks 2nd in the world in Mensa IQ test-scores and its students rate second in the world in SAT scores.Also, international MENSA IQ testing completed in 2004 identified as the world's smartest woman (and one of the smartest people in the world) Daniela Simidchieva of Bulgaria, who has an IQ of 200.

Bulgarian scientists have made several notable discoveries and inventions, such as the prototype of the digital watch (Peter Petroff); galantamine (Dimitar Paskov) the molecular-kinetic theory of crystal formation and growth (formulated by Ivan Stranski) and the space greenhouse (SRI-BAS).
Bulgaria conducts frequent Antarctic exploration missions by means of an artificial satellite and a permanent research base, which are used to conduct research on the impact of climate change and biodiversity on the continent.

According to the Brainbench Global IT IQ report, Bulgaria ranks first in Europe in terms of IT-certified specialists per capita[13] and 8th in the world in total ICT specialists, out-performing countries with far larger populations

In 2009 Bulgaria became the first country in Central and Eastern Europe (excluding Russia) to develop a national nanotechnology R&D centre

Hewlett-Packard built its Global Service Centre for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in Sofia in 2006.[14] In 2005 SAP built its leading R&D laboratories for the development of Java application server, Composite Application Framework and NetWeaver platforms in Bulgaria.


I can go on like this for hours...all factual google it...

One does occasionally partake of the hobnob if proferred on appropriate ware by an appropriately attired servant with the requisite amount of deference.

OK, fair enough you've convinced me. I was wrong about Bulgaria and I withdraw, unequivocally, my disparaging comment.

However my feelings towards Turkmenistan still stand.
