Charger hell!

I've had it with chargers. Everywhere I look something is charging up. Phone,toothbrush,laptop.kindle,Nook reader,ipad,they're all over the place. It takes me an hour to sort out which charger goes with which piece of tech. There must be a better way.

Currently, whilst online, I am charging my mobile via my laptop!!!  Whilst my other mobile is being charged via its normal charger and my toothbrush is using my other spare plug.   But I need another socket for my fleshlight whilst other half is in Germany!

What kind of a torch is a Fleshlight then?  

Must be better than this...



 

I'm probably going to get some shit for this but I feel your pain bonce, so I'm going to post it.

I had a similar experience to the one you've described regarding not knowing which charger went with which (allegedly indispensable) piece of kit a few years ago and it was driving me mental.

So one lazy Sunday afternoon, I rounded them all up, worked out which one went with what and organised them into some kind of system by wrapping a small length of different coloured insulation tape around each one.

And then recorded the colour key in the back of an old note book.

Light blue?

That'd be the camcorder then.

Red?

The wife's phone.

And so on.......

I know it's anal, but it's just how my mind works and, more importantly, it works.

I am a nerd.

How did you charge up the huge dildo?

Breadders, I have to say that I now do this kind of thing due to a few years back plugging the wrong power cable into a wireless router I had at the time and blowing it!

Tried that Bread. I lost the notebook!  

It's a simple solution that works, isn't it?

(If you use some of the tape to stick the note-book to your forehead in Bonce's case.....)

I was going to try and develop it and go on Dragon's Den and ask for £27m for 33% equity in my company until Mrs B pointed out that you can get a pack of five different colours of insulation tape from Home Bargains for about two quid and they would laugh at me.

Well, fuck you Deborah Meaden, you saggy-faced hag, I don't want you involved in my genius idea anyway.....

Showed it a few scenes from Whittam Wanks Warrington!

It's a good,simple system Bread. An idiot could use it. I'm in!

It does work Breadders, I usually write on stickers what the charger/adapter is for if it isn't obvious and stick them on them if they are going in the cupboard and not being used for a while etc.

Send me the £27m via Paypal and we'll do lunch.

Your name's going under mine on the letterhead, though.

Let's just establish that now.

You can be VP of Asset Procurement.

(ie, you go to Home Bargains and buy the tape.)

Deal...?

Deal. Just have to check my latest bank statement to make sure I can cover it. 
Hope I get my own office.

Office.....?

Erm.........I could move the dog's bed and put a chair under the window in the kitchen?

Anyway, you'd be out on the road being all "mobile" and stuff most of the time.

You have got a push-bike, haven't you?

Don't talk to me about bikes. Went to the dentist in Walkden on Tuesday,and being such a nice day,and me being supremely fit, I decided to bike it. All went well until I got to Walkden road,at which point I managed to fall off the bastard. Luckily no teeth were damaged,and I don't think anyone clocked me and put me on youtube. Still,the bike is in in the shed until further notice.

           

What happened to "keeping fit and eating right when you're younger standing you in good stead for later on"........?

I have just seriously pissed meself reading that!

Good on ya, mate!

Don't know how it happened. Got a bit cocky I think. In my head I was tearing up the tour and shooting past Bradley Wiggins in the home straight. I did the old trick of getting up and indicating I'd done it on purpose to amuse the kids,but the pain kicked in and I limped away. I might get a three wheeler.

I take it you came down the cycle path on the Lancs?

I ride that regularly and wound up in Knowsley once, after I got carried away and thought I was 18 again.

I turned round and stopped at the Carr Mill pub and got a pint before phoning the wife to come and pick me up.

It took her longer to get the cycle carrier strapped onto her car than it did to come and get me.

I couldn't walk for about three days.

(Legs not beer.)

Anyway, I shall henceforth see a picture of Harry Worth on a bike in my head whenever I think of you from now on after your dentist-related shenanigens.

Cheers!

Good old Harry Worth. I still attempt this when I can. Much to the embarrassment of my family.
