A man's collection of photographs of plug sockets

Yes, there is a man who has a page on his web site about all the different types of plug socket there are in the world. Compared to him we are WAY COOL!

The planet has wasted trillions of pounds by failing to standardise plug formats. If we still had the bloody empire all this confusion could be sorted with a memo to all regional military leaders.

'In my eyes and mouth, please!'

This one's the plug socket that greets electrical appliances in Denmark and Greenland. Imagine seeing that cheery chap beaming out at you every time you go to charge up your mobile!

'DRAIN ME AND LEAVE ME TO ROT'

Australia and New Zealand. Sad. Reminiscent of 'The Scream'.

THAT OTHER LUNATIC

    I'm not way cool compared to anyone, I'm afraid :(

    Can we have to link to this man's site, please? Foreign plugs give me the heebie jeebies and even looking at pictures of them feels like an electrocution hazard. The excitment therefore involved means a 'different plugs' page could well become a competitor to Idiot Toys as my prefered lunchtime reading.

    Only joking! Or am I?

    It's here:

    I didn't even get a credit for contributing this gem, despite the fact that it clearly has 'theme potential' written all over it.

    Perhaps it's because I couldn't be arsed to write anything insightful about the sockets.

    Or perhaps its because Idiot thought anyone who contributed something as banal as this would probably want to remain anonymous. How wrong he was!
