Man's great inventions...

The Wine or the Pies

Most excellent Noodley, most excellent! That sort of thing really appeals to me :?:

For me the greatest everyday invention simply has to be the humble wheelbarrow. Every time I use one I think how perfect it is. My mother-in-law has been installed for Christmas, she has mobility problems, she wants to go to church with us this evening..... I am seriously thinking the wheelbarrow might yet again be the answer to a vexing problem!

The stove-top cafetera. Puts me in a good mood every morning, no matter how bad a night's sleep I've had.

But not as good as a kick-step for high-shelf reaching convenience...

if you've got a 'versatile tart' you shouldn't need anything from the 'topshelf'!

The tea cup.

You cant build a bicycle without tea and you cant have tea without a cup.

Jam jars have worked perfectly well for me in times of need. Pint glasses are even better as you can get more in.

Canal locks are a close second to pies from the offerings we've had so far. Although I did at first wonder why canals needed securing.

Bra's.....
A braless girls a wonderful thing...for a while ...until gravity takes over.

Did anyone suggest gravity !!!

The TV - think about it: Now a days, everyone raves about computers, but for over 50years now, we could buy a box, fill it with various electronic bits, and stick a wire out of the window and Hey Presto - Moving pictures in your living room. I am continually amazed how people take it for granted !

A wee sram now and again,
there are thousands of things, and I'm sure we are all grateful for all these bits and bobs (especially the bobs) that make our lives rounder...

Pies make my wife rounder .

Fire.

None of the above (with the possible exception of measurement) possible without it.

The last word.

Letters and numbers. Without them the world would be just hi-ro-grif-iks.
