    Yesterday we had a lovely day with family and the talk got round to discussing electronic gadgets. One of the guest had his iPad with him and was showing how voice controlled equipment worked.

    He called up Siri and we asked him to ask some questions. We only got as far as the first question.

    Mrs Shiney had asked him to ask Siri what the first name of Monet was. the response was "What would you like to know about your mummy?" :heehee:

    So he asked the question in a number of different ways (specifically leaving out any reference to artists). Each answer from Siri was referring to 'mummy'. At which stage someone sitting nearby slapped his forehead and said "I've lost the will to live!"

    To which Siri replied "I have accessed the number for the NHS Suicide Helpline. Do you wish to have it?" :yikes:

    We all fell about laughing and he switched the iPad off! :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

      You should try communicating with a French mobile answerphone, one week when you've really got nothing better to do ;) In theory you can delete, cancel, save the message or call the messagee. In fact, the snooty madam refuses to acknowledge any voice with even a hint of a British accent :loll:You end up snarling commands in an exaggerated Clouseau accent and finally hurling the phone into the nearest waste paper basket. And yet.....the pronunciation of most towns and cities by the equally annoying GPS française has us rolling helpless. And if you ignore her commands, she goes off in a huff to have a coffee and a packet of ciggies.....
