Are you stuck for a christmas present

[paul04]

Stuck for a present Idea, well I've found the answer, walking around my local DIY store today, and I seen this.

According to the literature on the box, it's suitable for all the family, not quite sure what the other half would say if she opened this on Christmas morning.

Hmm, I think I am missing something, A dummy siren that protects the back as well as the front. That'll keep the burglers at bay!
If that won't keep she who must be obeyed happy, how about this for a christmas pressie?--

Something to dust the blinds with

I assume that the "Premium" dummy siren is because it's "wireless" (as stated on the box), whereas the basic one you need it wired up?!

Following advice from @potsy, I won't be thinking about Christmas presents until 24 December.

Same here, being a married man means you only have to buy one present.

The Hoover should work a treat again after that

If you get three (or even 4) of those and gaffer-tape them together, what an awesome venetian blind-cleaning tool that would be! Just think!

 

[Fnaar]

A) I say, I say, I say... how do you make a Venetian blind?

B) I don't know, how do you make a Venetian blind?

A) Get some even-length slats of wood or plastic, arrange them vertically, joined with string of some sort, and introduce a kind of pulley mechanism that allows them to be lowered or raised when hung in front of window.

I don't know how I've managed to live to be this great age without one of those duster thingies. Q @stephec

You could make some very snazzy cycle clothes with a Ronco Flower Loom.

Why did the Venetians have to come up with such a complicated and irritating arrangement for blocking out light?

Curtains are simpler and much more reliable.
