    Cheap batteries ?1 for a pack of 20. My mum buys these, if I put them in my beard trimmer, they last about 10 seconds, they refuse to power a digital camera, or a minidisk player and a torch works for about 20 seconds before fading away.

    I had a small row with my Mother and Aunty, when I asked them why they buy battereiss that are crap and staight out of the packet are fit for the bin. I was trying to power a digital scale to weigh my suitcases. They got cross, accused me of lying and said they were quite fine as they work in the remote control. My aunty then procceeded to snigger at me as I tried to explain that the amperage and voltage requirements of a remote control are low and that with their logic if they work in the remote control, they should then be fine to power the microwave oven.

    I got so pissed off I went out to the supermarket and brought some regular energisers and went look 'it works now, therefore your batteries are crap'. To which the reply was 'no they're not, they say Kodak on them so they must be good'. Aaaaaaaagghhhhhhh!!:mad:

    What about expensive "Audiophile" mains cables, to tack your hi-fi onto the end of the long run of standard twin&earth wire back to the fuse box?

    Or are all the married blokes on here so under the thumb that their missus's won't let them even joke about it...
