I had left the immersion heater on, which unbeknown to me had developed a faulty thermostat. The water just got hotter and hotter until the whole thing boiled over like an overfilled kettle.

    I blame Miles for not hearing the steady drip-drip of water onto my daughter's pram, though I quickly became aware of the gallon or so of (thankfully cold) water that came down into the pram when the ceiling wallpaper finally gave up Now the baby's crying, I'll have to turn the music off - don't you hate it when something interrupts your listening pleasure?

    Might explain why she's grown up not liking jazz much.

    I used to have a microwave oven/grill that when it had done it's job, the display would read "Please enjoy your meal".

    A friend of mine had an amplifier (can't remember the make), that when switched to 'Mute' the indicator LED would change colour, just in case you hadn't noticed the lack of sound!

    I'm not sure if I even appreciate the scrolling track title display that one of my CD players has. I know what the CD is, and I can read the title of the tracks by looking at the packaging.

    My old Musical Fidelity Electra E100 had a red LED in the volume knob which turned amber when on mute. So I could tell at a glance that I hadn't gone deaf.
