    I've got this mint idea about a device which works like the exact opposite to a Microwave. A turbo-fridge if you will. I really can't hack warm drinks that are meant to be chilled, be it soft drinks, fruit juice or booze. Like when I've just done the shopping, and the juice has been sat at room temperature on the supermarket shelf. I get it home, and I want a glass of it, but it's was warm as bath water. Get out of my mouth!

    So, I'd pour a glass of it, and i'd stick it in the Turbo Fridge, set a desired temperature, and bang - it whirls around for 60 seconds, and it's ready. Ice cool. Or I could turn it into a huge block of ice if I wanted. Instant ice-lolly. Supreme appliance!

    Maybe it could merge into the already existing Microwave, and the settings could go both ways as selected, alot like when the TV and VCR first merged, forming a mind bendingly exciting portable combination of our two most treasured household items. But I think I'd like to release it as a stand-alone appliance first, so I can give it a marketable name like Dr Freeze, or the Frostinator, or something that is related to a character that Arnie has played, so he can put a televised sales pitch on this thing, preferable with skin missing, exposing his robotic anatomy. I think if people saw Arnie enjoying a glass of juice fresh from the FROSTINATOR, they would be pretty suckered into buying one from the word Go. The Governator wouldn't lie. Would he?

    You all must have some crazy scheme up your sleeve that you'd like to unleash on the world if you had the know-how. Share!

    No offense Jake but are you not a bit old to be getting money for Christmas? Once you're earning your own money I don't know if you should still be getting money. 

     

    I still get money at 39.  Tbf fair though it's about all i get (apart from a Broons/our wullie annual) due to not having a fucking clue what I want.

    I THINK my first gig was some free thing at the beach in 1998 or so? Ocean Colour Scene played and so did Jamelia, before she had any HITS and anybody knew who she was. Does anyone else remember this or did I make it up? The only thing I can remember about it was Jamelia saying "do you want to hear my new single?" to an enthusiastic crowd, but we were at the back and everyone around us said in the same miserable monotone "no."

    Because I have no real memory of that concert and to retain STREET CRED, I always claim that my first proper gig was the very cool Barenaked Ladies at the Music Hall in 2001.

     

    That beach one would be the Radio One Roadshow 1999 - http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12279370.Radio_One_takes_the_high_road_north/

    I think I skived work to get pissed after that one.

    If it's the thing I'm thinking of (called "pods") it's to get a faux-espresso coffee fast and cheaper (and without the mess of any other coffee). Gets in a machine that blasts/drips through it, and afterwards you throw the bag away, rather scooping out a load of particles.

    Nope it's bags for coffee or with coffee in https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cafe-Express-Coffee-Filter-Bags/dp/B006ZYEJY8/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1505293126&sr=1-5&keywords=coffee+bags

    Just subbed to that 2000ad Ultimate Collection. Can't imagine I'll stick it out to the end, but there's some decent stuff at the beginning. Then I'll probably start cherry-picking what I want as it goes on.

    The first two are a bargain. Slaine - The Horned God for £1.99 and The Complete Ballad of Halo Jones for £6.99, delivered to your door for free is a solid deal. The latter normally goes for upwards of £35, and is one of the best comics ever IMO. The art in Slaine is some of the best in the 2000ad back catalogue.

    Free mug too!

    Cheers for that, just signed up, wife will go mad, but hey.
