...and that'll be why catalogues of all shapes and sizes have started dropping though the front door.

Sitting idly by the fire wishing the cat would move off my lap because I'm getting the quirges in my thighs I picked one of them up. I'm currently on pages 22-23 and already I'm feeling a little shell-shocked.

There's a USB record player. You can plug it into your computer and the supplied software will convert your vinyl into mp3 format.

How's about this for a labour saving idea? Use any record player plugged into your compter's 'sound in' socket and use the software that's already supplied on your computer to convert your vinyl into mp3 format.

There's a secret potion that repairs cracked or broken pipes ("Used by professionals") which is also suitable for drains and roofs.

Roofs? Why isn't this stuff being supplied on every roof in the country? If it really waterproofs your roof why is it only available in standard sized spray cans? I think we should be told.

Then there's "The only vacuum cleaner bag you'll ever need". Apparently it's washable and reusable for ever. It says in the ad that it's "Everlasting". As a special offer it comes as two-for-the-price-of-one.

Why?

If you're never going to need another vacuum bag why do you need two? Why can't you just buy one for half the price?

It must be said, I'm really lookng forward to reading the rest of these catalogues.

See you in the funny-farm.
