As we seem to spend most of our time at work and corporate IT departments insist on locking everything down very tightly so that you can’t do anything fun, it is my constant quest to find ways around their restrictions.
My latest victory is in the world of chat. There is no way that they will allow you to access any of the typical instant messaging sites, but they don’t seem to have come across tiny chat yet. When you access this site, all you have to do is give yourself a nickname and you’re done. After that just email or text the URL to a mate and you are good to go. I have tested this out with one or two of the more stringent banks around and it works there, so fingers crossed………..
As I do a lot of surfing and often come across certain items that I think may be interesting/useful/fun for others, I thought that I would begin to collate them in one place.
Hence, Stuff You Might Like was born. It used to be hosted on Blogger and then I stopped blogging for a while, but I am now resurrecting it again – like a phoenix from the ashes, so Stuff You Might Like is reborn !
I’ll add things here as and when I come across them. Let’s see how we get on with this………….
Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys?
This may come in handy someday. If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone. Hold your mobile phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other “remote” for your car, you can unlock the doors.
I didn’t know this – the Emergency Number worldwide for mobile phones is 112 .
If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.
I have just come across Samuel Windsor shoes and am very impressed. They are 100% handmade shoes that are selling for £99.95 and when you order a pair, you can choose another pair for free ! They offer a full 30 day money back guarantee and even supply pre-paid return labels, so it is free to return them. This really shows confidence in their product.
I have just ordered a couple of pairs (well one pair as well as my free pair) and am eagerly awaiting them. Take a look at their website by clicking here.
For those reading this in the UK, I have come across a fantasic site to get glasses online at ridiculously low prices. They have been set up to combat the crazy prices that opticians have been charging and seem to
be doing pretty well. To quote from their site: “Back in 2004, the average cost of a pair of glasses bought at big high street chains like Specsavers was £148.85. Now you can get quality glasses, custom made to your precise prescription for just £17.50 complete.”
Check out their website here.
