And, as a kid I never got the chance to use a universal remote outside
Dixons shop windows to set all the TV volume levels to 11

Some peeps here will have done, I bet ;-)

I have one of these

Is yours the £2.35 one or the £55 one?

Adding a line to autoexec.bat on Tandy IBM compatibles to display a
picture, ISTR gif2exe was used by those particular miscreants.

It would be interesting to see how many Garage doors start flapping up
and down too.

Not mention remotely controlled penile implants.

Heh, you've heard that joke too.

Those are very useful for turning the football off on pub TVs, just before
a penalty is taken. The fans are quite happy to see a trashy soap instead,
at a critical moment!

Didn't stop someone in Bedford totally breaking up a training session
sending two riders in opposite directions down a long dual carriage
way............

On a serious note, the guys that do this with normal push to transmit
operation are not too bad, but the ones that run permanent carrier for
maybe an hour at a time are a pain as they jam a channel for that time.
I have listened to a few locally and they have no idea of the problems
they cause other users. I was listening to the coach at the local rugby
ground during a match and he lost comm's with other members of
management a couple of times due to the local bike man riding past and
blocking the channel.

In the good old DOS-only days, one Friday night, when everyone had gone
home, I honed my skills by adding something to the PC of one of my
colleagues (who then knew little about PCs). On boot-up, it
progressively filled the screen with the words ******** ********
******** etc. When full (after about 30 seconds), the screen cleared,
and the whole thing started again, ad nauseam. Oh how he laughed on
Monday morning. But, eventually, he did forgive me.

What did gif2exe do?

Indeed, but there are limitations and then there is damn right rudeness,
inconsideration and sheer stupidity..........
