Got one for Christmas, anyone have any tips for useful things I can get it to do?

So far i have it telling me the latest football scores, telling me the weather and playing some music from Amazon

That's true, it is useful for reminders.

When I remember to set them.

And alarms.


At least once every couple of weeks i'll set a reminder and then when it goes off I won't have a clue what it's about.

"Alexa remind me to put the bin out"

*three hours later*

"I'm reminding you to get the gin gout"

Truly impaired.

I was slurring my words a bit after Christmas lunch when I asked Alexa to set an alarm for 4 so that I could get the Christmas pud out. Bloody thing didn't go off, so I burned me pud, but on Monday morning I found these on my doorstep:

It's like having a slightly dumber Kryten.


Bit rude, saying that about his wife!

And not a Xmas pudding in sight.

Another reason to stop using Amazon.

You know, I almost edited that as I was still typing it.

But I knew I'd be depriving someone of an opportunity!

My follow up question was going to be where is it best located. I can see it being useful in the kitchen. I have mine in my home office as that's where I spend most time, but most stuff I ask I could look online


"most stuff I ask I could look online".

That genuinely made me laugh!

There are generally 4 possibilities that tend to come to mind.

You were one of them.

No cash prize for guessing the other three.
