Smart Clothing: Curiosity or Closet Ready?

Del's Rant.... (don't read this if you will be offended by Brit humour.)

We have sufficient electronic equipment with designed in obsolescence.

Has anyone really seriously thought about what a bad idea this stuff is..ok it's fine for fashion victims or catwalk shows (my fave ) But seriously do you really want some naff electronic device blaring out or waking up evrytime you reach for your wallet or scratch your balls. If only I could escape from the background noise in todays environment? You'll get pretentious asses talking into their lapels at meetings..

'Sorry Josh can't talk in a meeting' ..

'yah right old boy ...Turn that f'ing jacket off you tosser!'

or in the supermarket...some pillock talking to their trouser leg....

'Yes I'm by the salad now......which one?'

Just by a sodding letuce you fool..salad isn't rocket science! (^{little joke there...geddit})

Blimey that's why men play golf..and now we get bloody mobile phones on the course, should be shot the lot of em or stitched into straight jackets with Ipods incorporated into the fabric!

Get bloody golf balls with pagers in next!

Ahhhh calm calm I feel much better for that.

Hi Del. "The sound of silence", thats why I lived most of my adult life away in the middle of nowhere, a Norwegian forest to be exact. I only emerged to go to work or the cinema. I did go on holidays abroard, but they were usually in the middle of nowhere. Now I am back in the UK I wish that I could regain some of that silence that I love, just the birds and the occational animal. Spencer.

Sorry Spencer...I missed that? I was texting someone

(Doncha just hate that ...you are talking to some one and then you notice they are gazing down at their F*****g mobile phone.....)

What was that darling ? I didn't quite catch it . What time is the train in honey-buns ? Tell all the other passengers as well, I'm sure they really want to know.

Driving along the other day I notced a Telecoms engineer standing in a hole at the side of the road..he had his mobile phone in his hand... I bet he was saying.

'I'm in hole at the moment... ' the thought of this creased me up...

I bet he was there at the wrong time, and probably got the wrong road as well. -Unlike the Energy switch merchants who seem to arrive at my door in vulture-like flocks. I'm tempted to suggest they have brawl on the road outside - winner gets my custom. It would save me time, and give my son a break from WWF on Playstation.< I'm only jealous cos he can beat me so easily. He does intuitively what I can't do despite hours of looking at the instruction booklet >. If someone integrates control for the damn 'smackdown' manoeuvre into trousers, such that it happens when my cheeks clench, then I'm buying !

Hey...another product? Clenchcontrol to Major Tom?

I'd missed the potential here Del. I like . How about a 'handbrake', for those moments when you encounter a London bus or similar ? If it wasn't built fully into the trousers the cabling could be rigged so a nervous passenger could enjoy. It would keep footprints off the dashboard, and we could then market sticky foam panels to put there for when emergency braking is applied. Anyone with flatulence/piles might experience problems, but suitable disclaimers should cover us.
