    Yes,i also call it the buzzer.Again the word * is brilliantly used in conjunction with buzzer to create different meanings.For example:-
    Cant find the buzzer??
    Can some * find that cuntin buzzer?
    When it gets found its "well done ya * its a * when that happens"

    Lol some quality ones in here.

    Can't think of any ones I use, my dinners my dinner!

    The remote is the remote.

    Although I do have a strange urge to tape all the remotes together and have my very own Megatron a-la Peep Show.
