So that's 48 left.

Sorry to disappoint, Dean (and risk a Stevenage internet bypass), but number 7 "scented cacti" is available, if you include succulents such as stapelia grandiflora (which I think is a sort of cacti )



Vicky and I had one of these many years ago; beautiful cactus which every couple of years produces a flower (see above) almost overnight. The flower itself looks as if it's made of plastecine...

...problem is it's scented - if you consider the smell of rotting meat & fecal matter a scent (apparently in the wild they're pollenated by blowflies).

That aside though, I applaud your list wholeheartedly, with the following standing out from the crowd:

3 - A one size fits all wedding ring (something you want to share with the group, Dean? )

16 - A mute button for real life (oh yes )

28 - Snore absorbing pillows (would prevent many a bruised rib for me )

39 - A chili that only burns at one end (Definitely )

And topping the list for sheer brilliance:

44 - Predictive swearing (brilliant - uttery brilliant )

not especially Stern Smile ...just thought it would make life easier for people who get mail-order brides to get wedding rings by mail order too. Wink

Apparently it's okay in Swindon - obviously their Sainsurys aren't built like a giant Faraday cage like everyone elses.

I believe it is a new fangled device to prevent the necessity of one's servant running errands

Ermm (no, I wasn't yound once, no, I haven't got a clue about life, and yes- I just don't care!!!........... or should those "No"s and "Yeses" be the other way around???Tongue )

I've no idea whether a mobile 'phone works in the Swindon branch of Sainsburys but I have a feeling it does.
