    I watched Stephen Fry's "100 Best Gadgets" the other day. It was a good show - I wasn't expecting the humble lighter to be No.1, but it in many ways it makes sense - especially for smokers like me!

    Got me thinking as to what my personal top 5 best gadgets would be, based on how much I use them or how useful they are to me.

    So here they are:

    1. The Laptop
    2. The kettle
    3. The coffee percolator
    4. The lighter
    5. The mobile phone

    What would your top five be?

    that thing where you put a loaf of bread in one end, and it comes out sliced on the other end.

    that is all

    nah there different, they are a modern version of a swiss army knife (those yokes are pre WWII :eek:)

    it can also be used in bike circles [cycling] for a tool which has all the emergency tools you might need to adjust on bike during a ride
    like various allen keys, flat top screw driver, philips screwdriver ect.

    1) A Leatherman - t's not just a penknife, if you hold one you will understand
    2)Laptop
    3)Combustion engine (I like cars)
    4)Gutenbergs printing press - tosser answer but has led us to being the informed enlghtened beings that we are
    5)The little thing that you drop into the water with your eggs to let you know if they're soft boiled or hardboiled. Without which my little soldiers would never get their feet wet
