h a l f b a k e r yI like this idea, only I think it should be run by the government.

I often forget that I’ve boiled some water for my tea or whatever (e.g. my hot water-powered strawberry pip stripper) as I go about my chores at work or at home.
Now, if it whistled when it boiled, I wouldn’t forget, I wouldn’t get de-hydrated and I wouldn’t waste precious energy.
here you go...

ah but I imagine it stops when its turned off. I'd like one that continues to whistle after its boiled and perhaps gets even louder the longer I leave it. |
|
| |
If you leave it on long enough, the electricity company will post you a handy reminder every quarter. |
|
| |
I thought it was improper English to 'boil' water for tea. |
|
| |
But I think this is what the micro is good for. Continues to beep until opened. |
|
| |
tea must be boiling hot, dent. |
|
| |
What [po] said, and don't forget to warm the pot first. |
|
| |
Love how you anno your own idea. |
|
| |
Why not just get a stovetop kettle and put it on a hot plate? |
|
| |
Can't you make tea just by running hot tap water into a cup with one of those Lipton bags in it? |
|
| |
its a hot idea, evil birdy. |
|
| |
anno my own idea? its a discussion and I am allowed to join in! |
|
| |
grumble. Nothing more frustrating than bringing a troll to a party and not getting a rise out of anyone. |
|
| |
Do I have to put a Hitler mustache on him, dress him up in union jack/old glory boxer shorts and have him sing a pastiche of "God Save The Queen" and "My Country, Tis of Thee" in Farsi? |
|
| |
[G.Caeli] : yes... and yes. Do it. |
|
| |
What tune would it whistle? |
|
| |
I was talking about the fact that your the first anno. I like the idea, and really, I meant no offense to you. I just smiled at the fact that you were first. |
|
| |
no probs! I was fully aware that you didn't comprehend that I was replying to [xandram]'s helpful link! |
|
| |
[gc] We saw your warm-water-and-teabag troll coming a mile off, and decided the best way to frustrate him/her was to ignore.
Worked a treat. |
|
| |
I was thinking "Polly put the kettle on / Sukey take it off again" or "Po turn the kettle off" |
