You get what you pay for

It’s cold and seems to be raining all the time. In weather like this the simple pleasure of getting into bed watching a DVD is hard to top

After the shoes, bike, not to mention all the lycra I am not exactly flush with cash. Despite this I really wanted to buy a second DVD player. Hello 30 dollar DVD player from the supermarket.

Perhaps this was my first mistake, it is never a good sign when you are putting a DVD player into your trolley next to tomatoes and toilet paper.


Second mistake was to buy a palsonic....not a Panasonic but a palsonic....


So I got home, put the rest of the shopping away (you have to get your cold stuff in the fridge..) I set it up and, somewhat surprisingly, it worked. As I started to doze off I thought it would be a smart idea to turn the DVD player off. I hit the off button on the remote and closed my eyes and started to drift off.


After about 5 minutes I noticed a glow in the room. I opened my eyes and saw this




What kind of genius thought it would be a good idea to put an off sign on a DVD player? This is how the DVD platers stays when it is off
Cheap and environmentally friendly.....nice.....
Cheers

That's gold, I can't stand electronics that glow in the dark either.
