I was given one of these things as a christmas present,and (a sign of getting older I guess) I haven't really bothered to see what it can do beyond asking it about the weather.
It seems to me to be a useless bit of kit, but I wonder if anyone has one, and if there is any point to persevering with the thing?

Anyone (such as Tick) that uses 'gammon' as a racial pejorative is as much a racist as those who use the word nigger and similar pejoratively.

Is there a hole to put your cock into? Otherwise, I've no interest.

I think I'd actively avoid anything that permanently connects my voice to the internet just as I'd avoid those tellys with a camera pointing at you doing the same.
Cnet give it a fairly decent write up though

Re: Amazon Echo
If you like music it's excellent. It has most songs/albums stored in the cloud or somewhere.
My mate got one for Christmas, had a few hours of childish fun asking it 'Alexia tits or face' etc and listening to some tunes

Best tell Roy to watch the post for a years subscription to the Socialist Worker Party.
Like those mobile phones which decide to automatically call the person your currently rubbishing when they hear the name.

Re: Amazon Echo
That would explain why I've not only got half a dozen of those cars, but also a subscription to the tick comic book, an old lawnmowerman dvd from ebay and a membership application for the rotary club of great britain.
Joking aside though, I'm even more confused now, - how the hell does the thing connect to the tv and/or phone.

Re: Amazon Echo
I like it, just a shame it doesn't search Google and isn't contextually aware.
Internet radio is a handy feature. Alexa play BBC radio 5
The kids like jokes. Alexa tell me a joke
Handy kitchen timer. Alexa set a timer for 35 minutes
Other than that, it plays Spotify.
