Driving Me Mad!

Someone recently bought Mini-MaFt a 'My First Remote Controlled Car' as a "your not the special baby anymore but we feel sorry for you so here's a present" gift. However, it doesn't use RF as most radio controlled cars do, no, this one uses Infra Red.

Not a problem really - the car functions adequately in both forward and reverse using the supplied controller. It also functions adequately using any remote control in the house... You can be flicking channels and this little toy car starts rolling along the floor with it's lights flashing away!

The thing is, it always catches me off guard and makes me jump when flicking between episodes of The Simpsons!

Pig (Part II)

OK, even if the whole 'eating a full pack of mini batenburgs' thing wasn't piggish behaviour then I think this might be:

Today we were in Morrisons and I noticed that Creme Eggs we only 18p - a whole 2p cheaper than in Woolworths just over the car park! I had to by five. It would have been wrong not to!

I ate four of them, it would have been five but I gave one way to a homeless child. Well, not quite homeless, I gave it to one of Mini-MaFt's friends, Master-O - he was most pleased! I might get some more tomorrow ;)

Lifetime Guarantee

Whoever thought up this one was a flippin' genius! I mean, normally you get a one year guarantee on something that you can guarantee will break after one year and a day. However, the cunning marketing people at far too many companies obviously realised that instead of spending all that R&D money designing products that fail exactly one year and twenty-four hours after their first use, they could do it another way.

Simply give the product a 'lifetime' guarantee! You see, it is guaranteed to work for the product's lifetime - as soon as it breaks, it's guarantee has passed! The products lifetime is over and so, therefore, it it's guarantee. Clever sods, aren't they?!

And so, in keeping with this fine tradition, I offer a lifetime guarantee for this blog. It will always be here, right up until it's not!

Is This The Behaviour Of A Pig?

Mrs-MaFt has just accused me of being a pig. All I did was eat a pack of five mini battenburgs - I hardly feel that it deserves such a personal insult...

I blame the pregnancy hormones!
