Inventions
 

If you could invent something what would it be and what would it be used for?

I would invent fragranced paint like lavender paint that smelt of lavender and brown that smelt like fresh coffee or chocolate and so on.

Or a umberella that attached to the pram for the mum or dad have you ever tried to push a pram and hold an umberella in the rain its easier to get wet!!

You can always wear one of those little brollies that sit on your head- not very attractive, but you'll be dry.
l'd invent non-iron clothes, yes l know we have them now, but l don't want to wear nylon shirts!

Be careful what you wish for should be the watchword here. No offence to Mummiboo, this as the makings of a great thread and I’m sure we’ll all enjoy either contributing or enjoy laughing at our own and each others little wanderings. However, think long and hard about what you contribute here. Wandering thought your imaginations may result in someone a little quicker witted picking up an Idea and making a fortune at your expense. Daft as it may sound the smelly paint idea would make money for the person who held a patent as well as the producer. Everything starts out as an idea most come to nothing, but try not being the one who had the idea, but made nothing. Just a thought. :)

OK anyone who can come up with the design can have this one on me. I would invent a gadget which would hold one's book open at the desired page and allow a person to adopt any position on a beach recliner, ie. lying on one's, back, side, (not backside) stomach, any which way and still allow you to read the book without holding the damn thing. It would also turn the page when desired and would be unaffected by ocean breezes or tsunami type swells. There you go you mechanical engineers, let's see what you can come up with.:D

Re: Inventions
 

I'm just glad the brown paint smells of chocolate!

Re: Inventions
 

Just ask the the Misses to do it :rolleyes: Sorry John :)

Re: Inventions
 

:eek: Oh my god it could be ..............................Marmite, yuk.

Re: Inventions
 

Was about to get the bathroom done, chocolate will be lovely in there!
I'II buy the book opener, one you can hold a book one handed in bed, no jokes please l gave you that on a plate.

Re: Inventions
 

There's a world of a difference between the "wouldn't it be lovely if....." and knowing how to go about creating the thing and patenting it. I remember ages ago my late hubby saying wouldn't it be great if you had clothes pegs that could warn you when it started raining - then not long after that we saw on TV someone had invented them. There's no way we would have been able to think it all through, let alone the cost of prototypes etc and they don't seem to have caught on anyway because I've never seen them in the shops.

I'd like an invention that can get the kids to go to sleep when they go to bed and not still be sneaking up and down an hour later.

I can get drunk off 1 pint Rockrabbit, that's why i rarely drink when i do go out.

Re: Inventions
 

Agree with Willow, it's ok thinking up great ideas, but finding away to put it in to practise is a hell of a lot harder.
Did anyone see The Lion's Den on BBC2 recently, all these people had to sell their ideas to a panel of investors. lf they liked it they got up to 15OK of the investors own money. Some were really good, some were awful- a cardboard, folding deckchair/ table/ brolly contraption, that was so flimsy it fell to bits.

Re: Inventions
 

what idiots invented a cardboard chair. what use does that have aprt from being able to fold up and it will be light.

Re: Inventions
 

My idea is for a mobile washing line. You stick 4 twelve foot poles at each corner of your car and then sling your washing line in between them. Then get some step ladders and hang your washing up. Next step, go for a 20 minute drive round Accy (being careful not to drive in front of the town hall) and Hey Presto! Your washing is dry!

Is this enviromentally friendly or what?

Re: Inventions
 

Exactly! They wanted to sell 'em for 20 quid a pop, to people sat on the hill at Wimbledon, watching Timmy getting whipped.

Re: Inventions
 

how would you see where you were going.

Re: Inventions
 

Don't stop to fold your washing you'll get a ticket.

Re: Inventions
 

i bet they didn't sell any. if you sat on it would just squash. AND £20 FOR A PIECE OF CARDBOARD WHAT TYPE OF THICK SH*T WOULD PAY £20 FOR A PIECE OF CARDBOARD WHICH IS SHAPED LIKE A CHAIR. whoever came up with that idea has some serious mental issues.

Re: Inventions
 

Idiot! They're 12 ft poles....your washing is hung above the level of the windscreen. By my calculation, with the right line rigging, one 20 minute journey would be enough to dry all a weeks washing for a family of four.

Re: Inventions
 

That was one of the crap ideas that didn't get any investment!
A good idea that was funded, was a guy that had an agreement to put kiosks in every London tube station [about 240,] which sold brollies for a pound. Fair enough, but he could also sell advertising on the kiosk, which was the size of a photo booth.
The posibilities there are enormous, he won the most investment in the series.

Re: Inventions
 

i guess it could work if you wanted to drive round with a washing linbe on your car. and showing everybody your underwear.

Re: Inventions
 

Why restrict it to your own Y fronts? You could take the neighbours washing out for a drive as welll....in fact, you could even have "Washing Cruising Parties", where all the girlies drove round Accy in one lot of cars and all the lads did the same and everyone chats each other up. It beats bashing each other over the head with Alcopop bottles every saturday night. people would come from miles around....

Were'nt you the one that was complaining about there being nowt to do in Accy?

Re: Inventions
 

yeh true i suppose. good invention.

Re: Inventions
 

Thank you. I'm even thinking of making a movie of it, once it gets started....I'm going to call it "Accrington Graffitti" & I shall be writing to Spielburg to see if he wants to direct.

Re: Inventions
 

making a movie of what.

Re: Inventions
 

My invention in action.

Re: Inventions
 

you mean you want to make a film, of a car, carrying a washing line around accy.now im confused

Re: Inventions
 

Yeah. Why not? If Eastwood can win a couple of Oscars for some tale of a lass in a boxing ring, then I can't see the problem of making a film about mobile washing lines.

Re: Inventions
 

has anyone thought of inventing something that doesnt effect people that have allergies (such as me ) i cant have smellie candles, plug ins ambi pur puts me out of action for at least a week, its pure perfume, hence the fact I CANT WEAR PERFUME, hence the fact that im always bad after an acc web meet, perfume girls, after shave men, but it dont stop me give me a couple of days back on my feet. yes i have an invention for you, even black & decker have seen it, but costs to much to develop, aaaaaa well. things are wot they are .i could have been rich .

Re: Inventions
 

Your keeping it under your hat Mez? Give us a bit of a clue, what did Black & Decker see & we'll guess!

Re: Inventions
 

sorry cannot tell it is under the patent laws its illegal for me to say just wish i could find a cheaper way of doing it thats all its brill
SORRY FOLKS

Re: Inventions
 

Mez's invention is a cappocinno maker which is stuck on the end of a Black and Decker power drill.

Re: Inventions
 

Excellent go Mez!
You'll be in the Hall of Fame when it takes off!

I wish I'd have known Mez. The next I come I won't put anything on.

Re: Inventions
 

Doug you better put something on. lt'll still be chilly.

Re: Inventions
 

First time I read your invention Tea I thought you meant the poles sticking out sideways! (yes, alright I know, don't say it!) I was wondering how you were going to drive round Accy without poking every other car and pedestrian. :o

Re: Inventions
 

PLEASE WEAR YOUR CLOTHES // he he he, no its just something people dont think about, but REALLY something I have to live with, would never inflict it on anyone else by saying , whimpishly ooooooo please dont wear any perfume/ aftershave cos im coming out with you to-night, i love the smell of diff perfumes& such, but sadly i cant wear, my cross no-one elses
im still alive & kicking kids dont worry

Re: Inventions
 

I'll have you know I had a beautiful body. Until she left me for someone else. I know what you mean Mez. My problem is I where so much of the stuff, I would normally use a lynx body spray and the coat myself in 1881. It must be terrible for someone with allergies. How do you feel about Coal Tar soap.

Re: Inventions
 

HATE THE DAMM STUFF nothing like chanel no;5 or my fav amaris or samsara i love perfume/ after shave
just suffer day after
ha ha ha , no one please worry , ( god wish id never mentioned it now )

Re: Inventions
 

I would like someone to invent a toilet seat that puts itself down after a chap has been to the toilet.
And a toilet that would give a chap just a teensy electric shock if he peed on the floor.
I hate cleaning round the base of the toilet where all the pee splashes are!

Re: Inventions
 

I bet your chap is really looking forward to the next accyweb meet lol. :rolleyes: We men don't pee on the floor; :) after all we have had years of practise. Have you ever thought that it maybe you ladies? :eek: If you look there’s a wee gap between the seat and the porcelain, are the lights on ladies, are you getting my drift? After all we’re the one’s that end up wiggling our toes in it in the mornings. :( Its you lot peeing horizontally instead of vertically…lol. :)

Why would a man need something to put the loo seat down? :confused: We already have something that does that? ;)

Re: Inventions
 

Well......why don't you use it then......and it is definitely not me peeing on the floor.
I am sure that the aim goes the same way as the eyesight as you lot get older..... either that or you don't mind where you shake the drops.

Re: Inventions
 

I didn't do it......There nothing wrong with our aim. We get a hole in one first time and every time. I bet it was that bloody Monty!!!!!!!

Re: Inventions
 

Re: Inventions
 

Oh No I wouldn't dare suggest that ;) would I? :rolleyes:

Re: Inventions
 

Re: Inventions
 

Guess what..................I did, didn't I :p
