This may sound silly, but has anyone been in the bathroom/restroom/water closet standing at a urinal relieving oneself, when someone walks in talking and you worried they’re talking to you or they are crazy, only to realize they have one of those earpieces plugged in? Its really disconcerting. :p

Thank you Gents , now I understand and I do agree that the PLONKERS who wear these stupid looking earpieces do look VERY STUPID whilst trying to look so self important. ;);):eek:
Spit, you must be of an age like me…….it’s more like a Blue Denture.
And, you can get a bluetooth adapter for an Ipod, it sends it’s music to your car stereo (Assuming you are in or very near the car of course).
But, if by chance another car is close, and he/she picks up your signal you could be done for broadcasting without a licence. Unless they’ve changed the rules recently.

Well, while driving, it’s better than getting a ticket, but personally, I rather have it integrated in the car’s stereo 😉

Really? I was absolutely serious. I hate the damned things! 🙂

I’ve got a Bluetooth headset for my phone.
I never use the thing, because it looks bloody silly.

Paul.
I only wrote what I did because I couldn’t think of a way to explain bluetooth.

Spit… Bluetooth is basically a means by which devices can communicate with each other wirelessly. It’s similar in that sense to wireless broadband where a router beams information to your computer, only it works over a much shorter distance, typically around 10 metres. It can be used for various things including wireless earpieces for mobile phones, sending contact or other details between phones, sending photos from your phone to a computer, sending photos from your phone directly to a printer so you can print without the need for a computer, etc.
Despite Kev’s rather cynical post it is actually quite a useful system.

P.S. Kev… In all honesty I think people who walk around with Bluetooth headsets on all the time look like absolute plonkers, so in a way I actually agree!

It is indeed a nasty illness and is not to be confused with the new outbreaks of blue tongue in cattle. Bluetooth affects humans though and the symptoms can include the unsightly growth of a telephonic headset/receiver from behind one, or occasionally both ears. Initially only apparent when the sufferer was driving, in the later stages of the disease it is not uncommon at all for the growth to be apparent on the side of the sufferers head twenty four hours a day.
