    Luxury toilet users warned of hardware flaw
    A luxury toilet controlled by a smartphone app is vulnerable to attack, according to security experts.

    What kind of person goes out buying a bog you can use with a smartphone?
    The toilet, manufactured by Japanese firm Lixil, is controlled via an Android app called My Satis.

    Perhaps they'll be able to fix it using a Hemorrhoid App :D

    Reminds me back when they had "Walkmen" and I saw the first one that had a remote control.:o

    Dara O'Broin's comeback about how he couldn't get the Internet on his TV screen was that he couldn't wee in his tumbledryer either but he was managing to survive.:)

    My car stereo has a remote control. Not sure why exactly.

    So you can control it from the backseat when the chauffeur is driving you. D'uh. :)

    I giggled at the description. Tip, you probably don't need a gadget if you need the pronunciation tip...:D. I thought it was tv cookery getting people cooking more? Is it books and magazines?

    Tv bakery shows are killing my baking urges.

    OH is home. The dinner went according to plan, the entertainment was not the crooner expected but nelly furtado who he liked. The fireworks were superb..which as he is a bit of an expert at oohing and aahing is saying something.

    He has had three late nights of being a guest, but also being professional. Saturday night (the Presidents do) was supported by a brewerey (!) . Last night his hosts were Mexican..so Margaritas and tequila shots. The captain told hom the left home with 2.1tons of tequila on board for hospitality, crew and gifts!

    He looks a bit wrecked to be honest.

    I offered him wine tonight and he was on the verge of declining when my 'I had a dry weekend' look stopped him in his tracks.

    DH is only a couple of inches taller than me. I never thought I'd want a 'short' man but it works fine, perfect kissing height really. :D. Lots of old jokes about size to make up for it. Like.....if he stood on his wallet....

    I am 5ft and a bit, my beloved OH is 6'2".

    Like my parents.

    It works for us, we're both quite confident. I'd love him if he were five feet and I were six feet two:D

    I'm 5' 10'' and wouldn't mind a few more inches (stop giggling at the back!). I don't think there's much point in worrying about things I'd change about myself, but that would be one. Oh and sorting my teeth out; they're not hideous but they're not nice either.

    I think actually it's an issue that I like girls who are quite tall.
