"Mrs. P was trying to FF the adds last night on a live prog."

I've sat impatiently waiting for the ads on a recording as well at times.

Many a time I've pointed the phone at the TV. Now I've heard that there is an app that allows one to use a smart phone as a TV remote control.

Reminds me of that comedy sketch where the bloke was trying to set the scene for a romantic interlude and the remote went haywire - the bed folded down, then up, down then up, the curtains swished open and closed again and again and the lights dimmed and brightened, dimmed and brightened...grin

How many times have I tried to start the car with the house keys?
We all do the silliest things sometimes. I made an awfull smell in the kitchen when making the lunch. I put all the veg on the hob, but had not put any water on the cabbage!
