A little bit of Friday nonsense.....
What inventions do y'all have in your minds, and would actually create if you had the suitably stocked shed and the know-how....I have two..
1) Varying magnitude brake lights - replace normal brake lights with varying width lights (as in the wavy light on the front of 'KIT') where more lights light up (sideways) the harder you brake, general safey feature and also to avoid those reaction jams on the motorway where people get too close to the car in front, see brake lights then brake heavily thus causing a jam..
2) A wall calender which you write on (which exists in every home) but which you can sync with your iphone or similar.
Winners or shite?

Everyone who is anyone knows that beer tastes better, and the drinker looks far more manly, when the glass they are drinking from has a handle. I discovered this revelation in Hamburg in the summer where i invented the 'Handyl'. It's basically a portable handle that you can attach to any beer glass you might find in a pub. Also has the added use (courtesy of Whits) of sticking to the wall above a urinal so you have something to hold on to when attempting the tricky 'swaying piss' after 8 or 9 jars.

Can we send the best ones into dragons den. That beer one, if we can mock it up and pretend Lucien has mortgaged his house to produce the prototype.
The purpose wouldn't be to get money, but to get on TV.

It's a good idea as a drinking aid.
but sticking it to the urinal wall then back on your beer glass?
For that reason, i'm out.

Two handys are better than one. Not sure about the wall calendar thing. Wouldn't you just look at your phone anyway? |

Google calandar. I synch wifeys calendar and mine onto my android phone. I can see her appointments, she can see mine. No more her writing it on the calendar afterwards and pretending it was there all the time and blaming me for double booking. The worm has turned and I can play the "learn to synch" card... |

Use the technology against her. Declare google calendar syncing the way forward, then you'll have a free run with no clashes because she can't use it. Though the downside is she'll get you to buy a new phone/PC so she can ruin any plans you have by booking dates months in advance. ------- But it could be done. Hand writing recognition of sorts has been around for years, remember the palm pilot (snigger). Think of a cut down iPad, blu tac'd to the wall with just a calandar ap and hand writing analyser ap. Then all it needs to do is synch back to a server every now and again. It would sell in its tens! |

Earphones which don't get tangled. Impossible but worth a try.

1 - I'm not sure which manufactuer do it (maybe Jag?) but when the driver applies the brake hard, the brake lights start to flash (light goes around in a circle) to warn the driver behind |
