Re: Your strangest or funniest present.

I received a Google Mini from my son, gawd knows what he thought I would do with it.

https://store.google.com/au/product/google_home_mini

I have set it up but with all the restrictions that I apply to Google so it is pretty crippled but it can tell me the time, do maths or set off an alarm and answer questions.

It is in a room where I watch TV and as I live alone Google is not going to learn very much from spying on me.

When you live alone it is useful to have something to remind you, wake you up or respond to a question.

No Mags

I gave to the village hall Chrismas Fete .
It would have looked ok if it had been hung alongside other glass balls but a bit silly on its own.

Re: Your strangest or funniest present.

Mine is a Clonakilty Black Pudding wrapped in Christmas paper. I didn’t find it under the tree but in my fridge on Christmas Day. I was thrilled, it’s just what l wanted!

Here is a pic of one like the one l got....

Re: Your strangest or funniest present.

One of my strangest which turns out to be a really well talked of even now present was from my younger brother when he was about 15 (ish) I would of been 17 he brought me a bike pump now I did not have a bike. When I questioned he said "oh well you can always give it me back for my birthday."

I agree with the first sentence but I have other ways of doing what the Mini does. but it sits there quietly on the table and doesn't get in the way so I don't mind it at all. It just seems such an odd present.

BTW last night my daughter came round and set up my smart TV so I have Disney+ and Netfliks using her account. I also use her Spotify on my phone. It's all quite legal because these channels allow up to four users at a time for one subscription.

I am going to watch all the Star Wars movies in order.
