    When you're watching one of your favourite movies and a grandchild comes into the room and is alarmed that the television has somehow gotten damaged and lost it's colour :heehee:

        I actually managed to convince CL1.1 that there was no such thing as colour in the olden days. I had him believe that telly has always been able to do colour, but the world was just grey.

        He believed it for a while, until he defeated my lie with his logic.

          Can you imagine the look on their faces seeing the original Dr. Who?

          I used to love that show!

              I've got one.

              When you've fallen asleep on the sofa while nobody else is in the room. When you wake up, you still have your eyebrows, you have not been drawn on. In fact no pranks of any kind have been done to you. In fact the wife woke you up by subtly prodding you to see if you're dead.

                When you get a brand new green bin for your food waste and it has a special latch to keep raccoons from prying them open and you discover that you don't know how to work the latch either..:doh:

                and there is no green bin for dummies you tube video either...:doh::doh:

                    Saw one earlier. A car pulled up next to an old lady. The old lady just stood, waiting. The driver gestured her over. She called out, "it's ok I'm waiting for someone". The driver looked very puzzled. The the old lady realised, the driver that gestured her over was in fact her chap.

                            Good morning @shiney a compact disc, or CD, is an optical storage medium with digital data recorded on it. The digital data can be in the form of audio, video, or computer information. When the CD is played, the information is read or detected by a tightly focused light source called a laser (thus the name optical medium).:lunapic 130165696578242 5:
