HOW TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.

It’s easy peasy – you just have to come up with a brilliant idea ……. like wot I did yesterday.

Why nobody has thought of combining a telephone with a camera I have no idea.

The only restriction is the length of flex connecting the telephone to the socket in the wall. I have cleverly put a long lead on so I can talk to someone and still take piccies in every room in the house – including the bathroom.

I’ve called my invention the SpeakingCamera, which is quite catchy. I just have to pitch the idea to a telephone company or two and my fortune is made.

Now, where’s that yacht catalogue ……………?

(Oh dear, is that what I used to line the hamster cage……. {{{My yacht’s ordered; I’m off on the next tide. }}} Lo,TG Ed)

    Amazing how brilliant your ideas are: it’s already stolen by cameras.analyzetime.com , make sure you run for the patent now and get the yacht later.

    Might as well use the yacht to personally deliver your yesterday’s message to Sylvie.

    I dreamt I heard your voice …… briefly …… and suddenly, here you are ……. small world ……

    Linky Love replied:

    Something wrong with your dreams DP: they were originally delivered with both sound and vision.

    daddyp replied:

    I was dreaming – therefore my eyes were closed – ergo sound and no vision – it’s science you know ….. I’m very technical ……

    You sleep with your eyes closed?

    You should be sleeping with your mouth closed, so the trees nearby – morituri te salutant – don’t run off in fear of being sawed down.

    daddyp replied:

    How did you know I grind my teeth? …… wherever they are …….

    Linky Love replied:

    Your recordings on 70’s experiment gave them away…

    daddyp replied:

    Dammit – is there nowhere safe ……. ?

    Linky Love replied:

    Yes there is.

    And it’s very useful now you will be making loads of money soon.

    your skill and inventiveness is …… is…….ermmm ?? ??? … it’ll come to me in a minute or 5 zillion….

    daddyp replied:

    It took me ages – the camera is fixed to the phone with real gaffer tape you know …….

    Linky Love replied:

    Ok, Ok, I admit, being pesky but… how to hook your SpeakingCamera so people can call you?

    daddyp replied:

    Well spotted – and this had me stumped for a little while I can tell you. The solution, once spotted, was obvious – you remove the gaffer tape and place the camera next to the handpiece whilst cradled. When someone telephones you, you re-stick the camera in place and you’re ready to go!!!! easy peasy ……

    Linky Love replied:

    Easy peasy indeed, I quickly go invest in gaffer tape companies without further inside information.

    I think Bret from Flight of the Conchords beat you to it

    ;-)

    daddyp replied:

    Dammit – they’re so clever …… [that's showing here now on satellite but too late for me and I haven't got the right equipment to record it yet - boo hoo]

    Linky Love replied:

    Euhm… what happened to your SpeakingCamera that was recording fine when you first mentioned it?

    Blazing Minds replied:

    I love Flight of the Conchords their album is always playing on my iPod ;)

    daddyp replied:

    I see from Twitter that you’re listening at this very minute …….

    It’s a fantastic idea DaddyP, but do you think it will take off, I mean it’s such a radical idea that it may be kind of strange for people to actually be able to take photos via a phone, whatever next!

    Linky Love replied:

    Whatever next? Most likely talking whilst taking pictures with false teeth…as much as I am following this conversation :-)

    daddyp replied:

    My next plan is to try and incorporate a lifting flap in umbrellas so that it’s possible to have a shower when it’s raining ……. I’m on a roll!!!!

    Blazing Minds replied:

    I’d buy one of those for a dollar ;)

    daddyp replied:

    A dollar!!!! – sterling please ……..

    It wasn’t you that came up with that self keel-hauling device on the new Westerly 47 was it ? Very clever that, cutting out the middle man.

    daddyp replied:

    It was based on one of my ideas …… or to be more accurate, the TG’s …….

    I’ve sailed in Westerlys …… quite nice ….. did the Round the Island Race in one belonging to a friend – got surprisingly competitive ……..

    You are just so damned clever! You know I am devoted to you, don’t you daddy?

    daddyp replied:

    I hope you’ve sorted out your little ‘typo’ problems Mumsy …… it must be difficult for you at the moment …… stiff upper lip and an even stiffer G&T should do the trick …… chin up!

    daddyp replied:

    [I should be being paid to run motivational classes ...... sheeeeeesh]

    That’s just crazy! Whatever will you come up with next – a washing machine that shoots movies? A wi-fi vibrator?

    daddyp replied:

    I’m trying to get my head round the concept of a wi-fi vibrator …… hmmmmmmmmmm ……… no, can’t do it. I can see possibilities with the washing machine idea although there would be quite a few problems during the spin-off cycle ….. tee hee

    Sheer genius.

    Can I ride on your yacht?

    daddyp replied:

    Thank you and yes.

    Now, more to the point, you’ve got a loverly voice – it doesn’t sound at all American or anything – tee hee.

    It was great to hear people’s voices – I’m very impressed by John’s particularly – so deep and manly – almost as deep and manly as 70’s …. [she’ll kill me now – if she can find me *hiding on a yacht with Lizza* – whoops the TG might see that …… eeek, there’s no help for me now ……… whoooossssshhhhhh LOOK, A MARTIAN!!!!!!! —>

    70steen replied:

    ** drums fingers patientently waiting for the tide to turn**

    daddyp replied:

    Now there’s a word you don’t hear that often ‘patientently’- tee hee

    YOU’RE ON YOUR HOLS!!!!!!!!!

    70steen replied:

    I knew a big typo would get you out of hiding…….
    I have a bone to pick with you ……:-P

    daddyp replied:

    Unfortunately I’m not here at the moment ……… please leave a message and any bones that need picking ….. I’ll be back where it’s safer – tee hee

    70steen replied:

    ‘where’ or ‘when’ DP?

    daddyp replied:

    WHOOPS!!!!!!

    70steen replied:

    singing *Daddy P did a whoopsy … oops sorry typo*

    daddyp replied:

    Perhaps I did both ………

    Lizza replied:

    I absolutely loved hearing the TG’s voice, and how you practically screamed when you found out she was recording.

    Awesome, awesome experiment by 70s! She sounds like a lot of fun.

    I enjoyed listening to John’s voice too. I agree, deep and manly voice. So cool. Sylvie, of course, sounds alluring. Damn those French. (and I say that with affection)

    70steen replied:

    Lizza so glad you liked it I think I may do another one later in the year … maybe a Christmas one [oops sorry I said the 'C' word in June eeek!!]

    daddyp replied:

    Christmas!!!! presents!!!!! …….. yippeee …….

    daddyp replied:

    I’ve met Sylvie …… she’s all right I suppose …… 70’s? ……. she’s all right I suppose …… John!!!!! ….. perfection ……. the TG? …… the TG? …….. the TG? ………… whatever …… and I never scream!!!!! ….. mmmmmmmmmmm

    Lizza replied:

    You have a man-crush on John? Awesome!

    daddyp replied:

    Is it that obvious? – tee hee

    John replied:

    Totally understandable, Lizza.

    I have a man crush on myself as well. At least DP’s got good taste comin’ out this way and all.

    daddyp replied:

    ….. and it’s private …..

    My God, man, you’re a genius. Slap a feedbag onto the end of it and you’ll make a gazillion dollars! (Or ten pounds at the current exchange rate.)

    daddyp replied:

    I know!!!!! – my life will change completely …… I’m so excited I’m almost awake – tee hee
