I would, of course, purchase more tiles to do the whole en-suite bathroom.

fieldini November 4, 2016 at 11:58 am

I’d be using one of these to track my 2 year old son’s shoes. He hid it the other day and is now wearing wellies until we can find it again!

gummikuh November 4, 2016 at 12:00 pm

I would attach it to my reading glasses, not sure if it would look silly, but I am always losing them.
This may be something age related that a tile will not be able to help though!

on and on November 4, 2016 at 12:00 pm

I’d leave a Tile with my marbles. They get lost from time to time and they’re pretty tricky to find.

stericmay November 4, 2016 at 12:02 pm

I’d attach it to my mates wallet as he never seems to have it available when it’s his round.

gilesmartin81 November 4, 2016 at 12:04 pm

I would attache this to my dog, ruddy thing keeps going out through the cat flap and playing in the park outside our house.

prettygreenparrot November 4, 2016 at 12:11 pm

Wish I’d used a tile on the bike that muggers took off one of my children yesterday.

I already use a Tile to make it easy to find my children’s house keys when they ‘have looked everywhere’. The Tile tune can then usually be heard coming from one of their bags or a coat pocket.

torchtaylor November 4, 2016 at 12:11 pm

I would attach the tile to my Singletrack Hip-flask, as I can never find the thing whilst rush about for a night ride. Maybe attach a second to the single malt, to where it keeps disappearing…….

torchtaylor November 4, 2016 at 12:14 pm

I would attach the tile to my Singletrack Hip-flask, as I can never find the thing whilst rushing about to get ready for a night ride. Maybe attach a second to the single malt, to find out where it keeps disappearing too…….

mobes November 4, 2016 at 12:15 pm

I would use it to track my wife

stwhannah November 4, 2016 at 12:17 pm

@mobes I wondered how long it would take before someone said that…

tuskaloosa November 4, 2016 at 12:19 pm

Knock Knock
Who’s there
Tile
Tile Who
“tile me” where to find my key I can’t seem to find the darn thing

bensaunders November 4, 2016 at 12:21 pm

I expect my wife would put it on me!

tom.nash November 4, 2016 at 12:22 pm

I would track my crazy Springer Spaniel that often disappears at the most inopportune moments!

sboardman November 4, 2016 at 12:23 pm

Probably my pay slip. The contents of that seem to disappear far more easily than I’d like.

i_like_food November 4, 2016 at 12:23 pm

I’d attach it to my 6 year old son. When we go riding I’ll be able to avoid a great deal of stress when he goes ahead, then takes the wrong turn.

cjr61 November 4, 2016 at 12:25 pm

Clearly used to track our terrier….it’s getting cold and she has a habit of ducking into the undergrowth rather than walk!

leftyboy November 4, 2016 at 12:29 pm

Attach them to my wife’s keys so I can find them for her with less hassle than it takes now 🙂

Will get used at least 5 times a day until it dies!!!!

sadmadalan November 4, 2016 at 12:30 pm

My tile would be on my wife’s keyring. So that I would not have to spend endless hours searching for keys that have taken up residence lurking in the black hole of her handbag.

sandwicheater November 4, 2016 at 12:31 pm

I’d gaffa tape it to my hair to keep an eye on it. I’m sure it’s sneaking off somewhere. Hmmm, maybe gaffa tape on my thinning hair is a bad……..ah stuff it, gaffa away!

seripa November 4, 2016 at 12:32 pm

I would attach it to the oh sowhen he disappears off ahead on the trail I can actually find him again!

Denis99 November 4, 2016 at 12:33 pm

I’d attach it to my money, I don’t know where it goes these days….

theluscombes November 4, 2016 at 12:35 pm

I’d attach it to my small painted wooden duck – its very dear to me …

edge85 November 4, 2016 at 12:37 pm

I would stick it to my 5mm hex key as it always seems to disappear when i need it. I think the cat my be taking it to make me slowly go mad.

northernerindevon November 4, 2016 at 12:37 pm

Gotta be attached to the cat to see where he goes & who the furry little so and so is tapping up for food in our street. I feel used!

scc999 November 4, 2016 at 12:42 pm

Either the riding buddy that shoots off ahead (when he has no idea of the route) or the cat – just to see which houses he hides in during the day.

Actually, I could put it on the cat and then put the cat in aforementioned riding buddy’s rucksack.

villageroads November 4, 2016 at 12:51 pm

my dignity

dangeourbrain November 4, 2016 at 12:52 pm

It’s a shame hours in the day aren’t something tangible to attach a tile to so my wallet would be a good idea as it some how ends up in the pockets of jackets and trousers I’m sure I’ve not worn in months.

Oh and chargers for lights, cordless drills, everything really.

Oh anything which isn’t shoes or clothes my gf packs when we go on holiday (travel adapters being prime candidates) that then dissapears into the case and cannot be found until we get home.

Paceman November 4, 2016 at 12:56 pm

My wife’s keys… my oh my it would save so much strife in our household, particularly when i’m already late for the midweek night ride 😉

bazhall November 4, 2016 at 12:58 pm

I’d use it to keep tabs on my house rabbit, so i know where she is hiding/sleeping/causing mayhem, my daughters dummies that disappear everyday and anything that the future Mrs Hall misplaces

Simwit November 4, 2016 at 12:58 pm

I’d attach it to my motivation so that I can find it easier on those cold wet mornings when I really should get out & ride.

Mark November 4, 2016 at 1:00 pm

“I would use it to track my wife”

I’d use it to track your wife too

😉

andybrad November 4, 2016 at 1:01 pm

Id attach it to my wife so i could see when she was on her way home and i could stop fixing my bike and get back into the kitchen for extra brownie points.

Alphabet November 4, 2016 at 1:03 pm

I’d attach it to my mobile as I’m always loosing it.

oh wait, hang on …

Cowman November 4, 2016 at 1:06 pm

Put in my kayak, if it ever gets washed off on a big river I’m more likely to track it down and get it back in good time.

Thanks

Kamakazie November 4, 2016 at 1:16 pm

I’d attach it to my skills &/or bravery which seem to disappear anywhere near a double!

jekkyl November 4, 2016 at 1:17 pm

I’d attach it to my forum name in the vain hope that this forum would find and remember me.

Mark November 4, 2016 at 1:18 pm

“I’d attach it to my mobile as I’m always loosing it.”

The app essentially makes your phone a tile. If you lose your phone just press the button on the tile and, so long as you are in range of your phone, your phone will start beeping.

kevin1911 November 4, 2016 at 1:18 pm

I’d attach one to every tiny screw, bolt or grommet I ever took off my bike, as those are the b’s that ALWAYS get dropped on the floor and roll for 3 metres in a random direction, finding the best hiding place in the whole garage. So far this week, I’ve spent around 2.5 hours on my hands and knees looking for the tiny little bleed port screw from a RS Reverb, and then the seatplate nut. Seriously thinking of getting a metal detector 🙂

slee182 November 4, 2016 at 1:30 pm

Id attach it to my wifes thong , so when it disappears up the crack she can find it.

seanrodger November 4, 2016 at 1:31 pm

Can it also be attached to a emotion/state of mind?

Sure would be handy if I could use it to locate my inner gallusness, its always there when I’m watching edits….

clubby November 4, 2016 at 1:32 pm

I’d attach them to my balls, so I can find them before picking up the courage to go off a drop.

clubby November 4, 2016 at 1:33 pm

Oops, should have read all comments first.

seanrodger November 4, 2016 at 1:39 pm

haha you said it better mate

timidwheeler November 4, 2016 at 1:44 pm

My mobile phone..
Oh.

timidwheeler November 4, 2016 at 1:45 pm

Lol
Should have read the thread.

GregMay November 4, 2016 at 1:49 pm

I’d like to attach mine to Europe so someday I could maybe find my way back to it.

twiglet_monster November 4, 2016 at 1:53 pm

I’m an avid geocacher so think you could have great fun playing hide and seek with this. I’ve got an unopened multitool and would attach a Tile to it. I’d hide it in in the world with a note and use the “notify me when found” function to get the Tile community to play hide and seek. First to find gets the multitool! might be a great PR opportunity too(l)?

karlsbug November 4, 2016 at 1:55 pm

Go back in time and attach it to my youth….

ratbag November 4, 2016 at 2:00 pm

I’d attach it to my sense of humour.

Ever seen me when I’ve lost my sense of humour? Not nice…

StackEd November 4, 2016 at 2:05 pm

the TV remote that my children keep hiding

kneebiscuit November 4, 2016 at 2:10 pm

I’d attach it to my will to live to get me though the week until my next bike ride.

Ming the Merciless November 4, 2016 at 2:13 pm

It would have to be the Sith Houndette as she has a penchant for disappearing into the forest chasing small (or not so small) furry things which drives Mrs M mad with worry.

Junkyard November 4, 2016 at 2:16 pm

I would trial it on my keys to test it. If it as good as it seems then probably buy the four pack as I misplace anything portable on a frustratingly regular basis.

I went for honest rather than funny.

ThruntonThrasher November 4, 2016 at 2:22 pm

I would attach it to the biscuits in our house to see who eats them

whippersnapper November 4, 2016 at 2:22 pm

…my marbles, well, the last one I have anyway.

markoc1984 November 4, 2016 at 2:26 pm

I would attach it to the sun as it keeps disappearing at the moment.

Leku November 4, 2016 at 2:28 pm

My son has started secondary school and so far has lost;
school blazer
shirt
school shoes
hand-me-down iPhone
trousers
food card
replacement blazer
Nokia brick (replacement for iPhone)
bag
socks

All have been found eventually but only after scouring local parks, lost property bins and playing fields. Please help end the pain..

ski78 November 4, 2016 at 2:34 pm

One year into being a Dad, I’m amazed at the challenges faced keeping track of young kids, this would be one less thing I needed to use my brain to remember….

simonchan November 4, 2016 at 2:44 pm

I’d attach it to my car keys. The wife and I share one car, and it’s always going missing right about the time I’m ready to head out the door to drive* to the trailhead!

*Trailhead is 50min away riding through the middle of the city.

Bez November 4, 2016 at 3:05 pm

I’d attach one to the soap, so that I can give a practical answer to any awkward questions I might be asked if I ever come across two nuns in the bath (matron).

Mr Agreeable November 4, 2016 at 3:05 pm

A file, a stile, a crocodile. A lady’s fleeting smile.

cddsystems November 4, 2016 at 3:12 pm

Me, I would attach it to my ring pull so I can always find it to open a bottle of Singletrack.

andrewspink November 4, 2016 at 3:18 pm

For tracking my commuting bike, so I can find it back if it gets stolen.

penac November 4, 2016 at 3:33 pm

my s**t*, always losing it
*not really generally pretty calm

jeffl November 4, 2016 at 3:35 pm

I’d attach it to my beer to find out who keeps drinking it. It can’t just be me, can it?

eat_more_cheese November 4, 2016 at 4:11 pm

My mate Baz always goes on about the time he lost his virginity to Sheila, a trolley dolly on a transatlantic Concorde flight to New York. I’ve always said he’s a lying wee b*****d. If only we had one of these back then we’d know exactly where he’d put it.

frackit November 4, 2016 at 4:11 pm

I’d attach a tile to our cat – that way, the. Wife would be able to see where the little bigger is and I wouldn’t have to stand out in the rain shouting for him at all hours.

Bez November 4, 2016 at 4:48 pm

I would attach it to Michael Stipe’s religion.

phil40 November 4, 2016 at 4:50 pm

I would put it on my cash. I haven’t been able to find it since having children!

nickdt November 4, 2016 at 4:50 pm

I would attach it to my patience

georgeedjones November 4, 2016 at 4:56 pm

I’d attach it to my boss so that i’d know when to look busy!

simonjj November 4, 2016 at 5:12 pm

My youth, I keep losing it on a daily basis.

tomdubz November 4, 2016 at 5:34 pm

To my Audi… so I could find my way back to it on my Orange Five after a day out shredding the gnar at Surrey hills.

kendonagasaki November 4, 2016 at 5:34 pm

I would attach it to myself in the vain hope that it would help me when I get lost exploring exciting new trails.

HaydPD November 4, 2016 at 5:35 pm

I would attach a tile to my cat. That way I could keep track of which neighbours house he has broken into lately.

eh_boy November 4, 2016 at 5:47 pm

I’d put mine in my wallet, then take it out and lose it just before I was going to show it to some people…

eddi23 November 4, 2016 at 5:51 pm

….because i’m 49 and I have never, ever, ever won anything in any competition ever, just once it would be great to get something for free….

williamnot November 4, 2016 at 6:19 pm

I think I need a bucketful to attach to everything my daughter owns!

manxshredder1 November 4, 2016 at 6:49 pm

The mother in law, I’d know when to run out the back n bugger off on my bike out the way

withersea November 4, 2016 at 6:59 pm

I’d give it to my mates who are out on a night on the tiles. That way it would be easy to find them as they never answer their phones once in a pub!

schmiken November 4, 2016 at 7:43 pm

The contents of my wine bottles. They’re always disappearing without trace!

stesmith November 4, 2016 at 7:51 pm

After seeing the pairs shouting/screaming/yelling at Relentless 24 I’d attach it to a team mate so I know when they racing through the pits to handover.

bazwadah November 4, 2016 at 8:06 pm

I would attach one to an Easter egg during the next egg hunt. Using modern technology to find hidden chocolate would make my kids amazed at their dads super powers ( until they realise I was cheating, then I’d get the ” you deceived us again father” look.)

Robbobpenny November 4, 2016 at 8:16 pm

I’d track my receding hair line.
Either that, or my keys.
When I say keys, I mean attach it to random members of the family and see where they end up.

jimbobclay November 4, 2016 at 9:38 pm

I would attach it to me. Ever since I turned 43 I’ve been trying to find myself…

cardo November 4, 2016 at 9:39 pm

I would pop one in with my diary/ folder so I know which customers I’ve left it at.. again .. either that or the van keys.

orangep7 November 4, 2016 at 9:47 pm

The gentleman who left his thigh high leather boot (right foot) and tennis ball at my place last Wednesday afternoon could probably do with one of those tiles. Ever so forgetful.

jimdubleyou November 4, 2016 at 10:04 pm

Probably put on on my keys, or keep it in my man-drawer so I don’t lose it.

elliotgoodall November 4, 2016 at 10:06 pm

I’d attach it to my mate Nev, who’s never on time for riding (always an hour late). That way I’d know when he is en-route and can plan my arrival accordingly or jib him for stopping for that pre-ride pasty.

sideshowdave November 4, 2016 at 10:42 pm

I’d attach it to Brexit, as there just not enough media coverage it would help keep track of the pesky thing*

*yes I know Brexit not a physical thing, I’m just trying to be topical and funny (failing at both)

duncancallum November 4, 2016 at 10:42 pm

My works pen. I’ve gone through 5 today.

I’m sure I’ve got early onsite parking

Blurboy November 4, 2016 at 11:14 pm

I would carry it with me for a night on the ’tiles’.

Alpha1653 November 4, 2016 at 11:51 pm

Had this appeared a week ago and had I won a tile, I would currently be using it to track my wayward dog.

Anyone recently seen a spaniel/terrier bitch without an owner???

ski99 November 5, 2016 at 6:41 am

I’d attach it to one of my staff ’cause he disappears for ages when going “for a fag break”.

seadog101 November 5, 2016 at 8:03 am

As long as these things work slowly I’d attach it to my mind.

I am slowly losing it.

Jerm November 5, 2016 at 8:34 am

I’d attach it to my will to live every time I see a Daily Mail headline.

drewd November 5, 2016 at 8:36 am

I would attach it to my socks, no one can explain where they disappear to!

WEJ November 5, 2016 at 9:08 am

I’d attach it to the valves on my wheels. Instead of lining the valves with the tyre logo, I could instantly find the valves, when in a hurry, by just reaching for my smartphone. If I only had one tile, I would be more than happy to swap it to the wheel which needed a top up, I don’t think that it would significantly add much time, and it would still make finding that wayward tile much quicker.

WEJ November 5, 2016 at 9:15 am

bearnecessities November 5, 2016 at 9:35 am

My car, as whenever I park at B&Q I swear it moves to a different row.

aidanoggy November 5, 2016 at 9:38 am

I’d tile my phone, I can never find it when I want it and spend valuable riding time hunting it down!

gavalar November 5, 2016 at 10:28 am

I’d attach it to my mates sense of humour, he’s always losing it the miserable git !

rdoadesuk November 5, 2016 at 11:56 am

I’d attach one to my watch so I can keep track of time. No idea where it goes…

mikewsmith November 5, 2016 at 12:46 pm

the charger cable for my garmin watch or my cash, no idea where it ends up

derekq November 5, 2016 at 2:00 pm

Teaspoons to follow where they all go. I still convinced there is a teaspoon conspiracy! Or if the metaphysical is possible I would tile my motivation to make it quicker to find and therefore have less procrastination and longer rides.

Evilsea November 5, 2016 at 2:23 pm

I’d attach it to my cats collar to find out which of our neighbors is feeding the greedy git.

salsaboy November 5, 2016 at 2:29 pm

I would have attached one to the bunch of keys we suspect the puppy has taken outside and drop in the garden somewhere.
Searching for them we’ve found a screwdriver, a slipper, a pair of socks, daughters pants and a hair brush. All the work of Hugo the lurcher.

thepurist November 5, 2016 at 6:47 pm

I’d attach it to all the other singletrack competition entries I’ve sent in as they all seem to have been lost without trace.

ricardoricardo November 5, 2016 at 7:19 pm

I’d attach to my sex appeal as, according to my wife, I’m in danger of losing what little remains very soon.

stevio November 5, 2016 at 7:30 pm

i’d put one on the cat to see where she goes for days on end!

mike399 November 5, 2016 at 8:30 pm

Thats easy – My 18th month old boys dummy! How he loses so many of the things whilst at the same time scream so enthusiastically commited when he cant find it in house/car/supermarket is beyond me…

monkeysfeet November 5, 2016 at 9:49 pm

The carton of milk I leave in the office. Some bugger keeps taking it and leaving me without milk for me porridge.

hpalmos November 6, 2016 at 6:15 am

I would you it to track myself, if I get lost, I would just see my phone where I am

bungee November 6, 2016 at 6:51 am

the last remnants of my youth. I’m going to lose it soon and would like to be able to find it when i do.

woody21 November 6, 2016 at 7:06 am

Today I Lost Everything

Please help me not to do this again

Graham_Clark November 6, 2016 at 7:07 am

My ability to suffer fools and not speak my mind…. At least that’s what my wife says I’m always losing

irvb November 6, 2016 at 8:32 am

Nothing humorous – real life use would be to attach to the new family dachshund to keep track of her….

bruneep November 6, 2016 at 9:33 am

attach to work keys don’t want another “bill” for replacement set :o(

mcarpenter November 6, 2016 at 10:11 am

It would have to be time. Especially the time I just lost trying to think of a post worthy of getting in the top 40.

simirving November 6, 2016 at 10:49 am

I’d use it to track where all my grey hair is coming from:-)

silverT4 November 6, 2016 at 2:31 pm

I’d attach one to my concentration. I should be working, not looking on here!

jambalaya November 6, 2016 at 4:33 pm

These suggestions are too good, I can’t win 🙁

GPS device, people always seem to be losing them. I know I would lose one so I don’t even bother buying/carrying one.

mrwhyte November 6, 2016 at 5:07 pm

I’d attach it to my boss. Then I would know where he was and if he was heading my way, then I could avoid him. I could also then minimise the browser to hide the fact I am on STW and getting paid for it.

andy4d November 6, 2016 at 5:12 pm

I would leave it in the glove box of the car so I can find the car in the car park. Lost count of the number of times I am going between levels to find it.

bilbobaggyshorts November 6, 2016 at 6:00 pm

I’d attach it to my postman so I don’t have to spend all day twiddling my thumbs wondering what time he’s gonna turn up with my latest bit of bike bling !!

Cletus November 6, 2016 at 8:03 pm

Attach it to Benny from Crossroads

Cletus November 6, 2016 at 8:04 pm

Or Lord Lucan, Shergar, El Dorado etc.

supercarp November 6, 2016 at 9:15 pm

I would attach it to my mojo as it seems to have got up and gone and it would be nice to find it again

pnik November 6, 2016 at 11:54 pm

My bottle, always losing it out on the trails, especially approaching doubles and drops for some reason.

markgraylish November 7, 2016 at 1:09 am

Id attach one to my motivation and another one to my balls, as I seem to have lost both.

And maybe a third one to my youth and a fourth one to my alcohol tolerance cos they seem missing as well

In fact, send them all to me…im sure ill find a use for them. Ta

p7rich November 7, 2016 at 6:47 am

My fitness. I know i left it around here somewhere…

inbred November 7, 2016 at 7:12 am

Id attach one to each of it to my six year olds cycling gloves, he is always loosing one of them. We now have a collection of single non matching gloves.

silkystone November 7, 2016 at 7:43 am

I’d attach it to Donald Trumps hair as I’m convinced it’s a fully autonomous sentient parasite sent here to bring about the fall of humanity and Trump is it’s wittless host….. or it could just be his hair.

slugrider November 7, 2016 at 8:37 am

sometimes I think I should like to attach a string to a fleeting moment or thought and tie it to my wrist so that I could walk around with it floating above my head like a helium filled foil balloon of a much loved cartoon from my youth.

Alas staring down the futility of holding onto ideas or something as intangible so as to be dream like is just that, a dream to be held so close and yet just beyond reach of outstretched fingertips.

so I guess, my bike in case some thieving ass hat decides he likes

philb88 November 7, 2016 at 10:10 am

I’d attach it to my patience, the when I lose it fixing my bike it’s easier to find!

Lost in yesterday and it’s still hiding!!

theeggsofwrath November 7, 2016 at 11:06 am

I’d attach it to my last f**k so that when I’m inevitably called upon to give it to someone – probably at work, sometime on Tuesday morning – I know where it is.
This will have the added benefit of me being able to categorically prove that I actually have no remaining f**k’s left to give after that point.

dday November 7, 2016 at 2:24 pm

To find the trailhead of that cracking route from last week’s night ride – that I just cannot find during the day – and yes, there are enough riders up there on the weekend for the community thing to work!

luffy105 November 7, 2016 at 3:34 pm

Definitely to my helmet. It’s the one thing I can never find when I’m setting off in a hurry

grego228 November 8, 2016 at 7:01 am

I’d attach it to my ‘bottle’, as every time I hit drops nowadays my ‘bottle’ has completely gone and I could really do with it back
