101 Things I Wish some-one would invent...
Leaving aside the Star Trek style replicator & the Tomorrow People's jaunting belt (yep, I AM that old ) there are a couple of things I long for, I'm sure ISHers will come up with more.
1)A drawer for washing machines that is streamlined & EASY to clean WITHOUT ripping my hands to bits!
2)An electric ride on mower. If milk floats can be quiet why can't my local council's mowers if they must use the at stupid oclock in the morning?

3) Sprinkler heads that work properly and last at least 5 years.
4) A kinder, gentler rooster.

What if you're wrong? What if there's more? What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?

7. Televisions that have buttons on them rather than needing a remote control for operation;
8. 'phones which are somehow attached to the wall so that they cannot (like the *¤@€!!!! remotes) get lost down the back of cushions, hidden by the dog, etc, etc.

You're being far too kind to chavs, Sparki.
11. A chav eliminator.
12. A popular TV programme - "Drown a chav TODAY!!!!".
That should do it.

14. A connection of automated artificial intellegence which would allow global communication and profer advancements in research education and technology on a giant scale, rather than an internet dedicated to Adult Entertainment and people I met 25 years ago updating me on how rich, fit and happy they are.

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.

18. A weather and cat proof cover for a convertible car.

How about the following:
A perpetual motion machine.
An effective slug defense system.
An effective device to prevent cold callers, spam and other things I hadn't requested.

Has anyone seen the plot, I seem to have lost mine?

You mean those Richard Heads who insist on wearing Lycra and riding two a breast chatting way on country lanes making it impossible to pass safely?
