what you have to do is............

have the remote control fitted to a keyring and always carry it with you

lock it in a safe when you go out

take the batteries out, this one's my favourite. It's always popular in our house:rofl:

I did one up from that many years ago.

The TV verses getting my brother and sister to bed when they were around 8 & 10 respectively. Totally fed up with them, trying my hardest not to yell at them, and them pushing me to the absolute limit, they won't turn the TV off and its in the bedroom (mother's bed but not going there) and every time I turn it off, they turn it back on. remove the remote control taking it with me, doesn't work, they just use the controls on the TV (something my mother couldn't do!). So finally enough is enough, I walk to the other end of the house, come back with the only thing I could come up with (my mother had no tool kit) the kitchen scissors. give them one last chance at going to bed quietly and when they refuse, I unplugged the TV and cut the plug off. it stumped them totally! :dance:

Lots of disbelief, :ohmy:, total silence and no idea on how to respond to me, and finally :angel: behaviour and bed. they :surrender:.

I walked back downstairs with the plug (no flex attached, I was sensible in this decision) and utter silence from their bedroom :whistle:

I win :wahhey: hand my mother the plug and we very silently :rofl::rofl: repeatedly.

Wouldn't it have been easier just to take the tv away?

Quick ride out today, not much scenery as it was all urban and grotty, did get a picture of a rare black & white heron though :okay:

One of the joys of cycling is coming across wonderful things.

A magnificent Magnolia on todays ride.
 
I can't compete with a magnolia like that. that one is wonderful, but I did have 2 swallows allow me to cycle underneath them and the beauty of the trike is that I can cycle underneath them and photograph them at the same time, without falling off my bike!

And then there are empty country lanes and wing mirrors which I am enjoying (when they are not shaking around or whistling in the wind!)
