Misplaced your widget charger lately ?, can't get one readily from a store ?
'you'll have to order one especially from the manufacturer' your told
all because the makers of these products won't co-operate and make a UNIVERSAL SOCKET
in their mobile phones, Blue teeth, GPS, or anything else that requires charging .
I've had 4 different mobiles, 2 different GPS, 3 different IPAQ - portable video players, notebooks and everything else that you can put in your pocket or purse to communicate. But not ONE of these buggers has the same socket for charging as anyone else and if you are lucky enough to have a charger with that exact match, it's a damn
different voltage. It's a conspiracy to enable 3rd party manufacturers to make special adapters to suit the lot and there-by generate a new market... all because the source plant won't manufacture their product so that a cheap adapter will charge it.
There are 56 different sockets on all these products and not one of the models from the SAME manufacturer have the same socket or voltage
Every time Acme phones makes a new MODEL, it has a different size and/or shape charge socket. I have a bloody drawer full of useless chargers because every time I buy ANYTHING portable that needs a charger, nothing I already have fits it !!.
Oh sure, I now have a universal all pin, all voltage charger for everything but I don't want to have to buy a dozen of them so I can
charge up a dozen devices overnight. I'd like the same identical charger that COMES WITH the device to charge any of the devices, not have to fork out EXTRA cash for an all singing all dancing charger. Sh*t, if I had 10 devices and 2 identical chargers, that would suffice.
What happened to 'save the planet from carbon' crap. To add insult to injury, some devices that have been superseded by model, need to be charged
by devices that no longer exist. God I wish I was Ralph Nader in this country.

Brunnings crap
I use a lot of daily products, shit I should be working for 'choice' magazine.
Some are good or bad or [ dare I say it ] ugly?. Any who, now and again I come across some products that apparently slip by the bodies that investigate things to see you get WHAT YOU PAID FOR !!.
I have several BRUNNINGS products on the shelf and mostly bought from different stores but around about the same time as I am doing a sh*t load of renovations and landscaping. I bought BRUNNINGS rose spray for the 'wozes' and path weed killer for the concrete. Neither of these products is worth a pinch of sh*t !!. The rose spray did jack and I practically emptied the bottle of weed killer on one patch - nufin, I could have drunk the stuff myself as not so much as a stinking leaf withered in a week. The roses were looking worse so I switched to white oil and that did the trick in 48 hrs. Upon examining the contents of both bottles, I found the apparent formula CONCENTRATIONS were so bloody diluted, It's a wonder the stuff is allowed to be sold claiming what it's supposed to do. I had a bad experience with ANOTHER BRUNNINGS product but threw it out in disgust and can't even remember what It was. BRUNNINGS products are crap - diluted to buggery - don't do the job unless you use liters of the crap to drown the weeds. Best bet, buy the super concentrate you dilute yourself, then use it straight. I found this does the job nicely. But I ask myself - why do these products exist if they are as weak as horse piss ??. Why are you charged a sh*t load for a concentrated product that does NEAT what the others claim they will do in a ready mix.
The answer is simple, its a blatant rip off [ that was easy ]. Just like the big MILK rip off that;s coming to light NOW, the powers that be had better start investigating ALL home products that make certain claims but can't cut it because the formula in the container won't produce the results claimed in the DOSAGE recommended. The formula on the packaging may be correct [ no fraud here ] but the claim is bull sh*t by trial and error in the field. The stuff may kill your prized Petunia but as for hardy weeds; forget it.
