WANTED: Photos of your old remote controls

Right. Let's DO THIS.

As ever, it's supreme reader and regular in-joiner "Phorenzik" who's kicking it all off, with his selection of remote controls - and their batteries!



"Hello, I've got a new job."



"Whilst at my new job, I found a box full of old remotes that were about to be thrown away. You'll never guess what was inside the old remotes either."



"BATTERIES! That's what!"



"I filtered out the rubbish ones and only bothered pinching the funny ones."



"Imagine my delight when I excavated a KORANDO from one of the remotes. It was just like Christmas, the good Christmas where you get presents and stuff, not the bad Christmas where you have to stay with your uncle and 'join in' with his friends."



"I even risked getting caught by my new boss and took a couple of covert pictures of the best remotes."



"I haven't bothered cropping them or anything as I have to work 50 hours a week and haven't got quite as much spare time as I used to have."



"If you run out of funny captions to write you could always paste a few adverts in-between. Cheers then, Phorenzik."








Thanks, Phorenzik. You are the model reader. You really should start your own blog. Perhaps base it around this "boss" you mentioned up there? He'd surely see the funny side of it if he ever found out.



Hopefully this will open the floodgates to lots more photos of old remote controls! Stay tuned, remote fans! This is gonna blow up BIG TIME.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN A REMOTE CONTROL PHOTO:

AMSTRAD branding

Leaking batteries

Proprietary technology, such as "RangeMax" or "DistaChange"

Ingrained food/skin

Evidence of damage from domestic abuse

A worn favourite button

Shininess
