Thought it would be interesting to see what cool stuff everyone has

So then if I like it I can go out & buy it

Post away

PS Instant FAIL to anyone who posts things like a fridge/freezer/ice cubes etc etc

It's just a remote lightswitch

Can get them in B&Q but considerably cheaper online.

Don't work with fluorescent or enegy saving bulbs though .

It can be programmed to use any IR remote, just pick a button that's not used/not use often on a remote you use regularly.

i always have a nose on your site nik, some cool stuff on there.

my toaster electronically lowers the bread up and down and pings when its finished. if you dont take it out of the toaster after 10 secs it lowers it back down to keep it warm.
