Ask alexa to sing a duet with Ed sheeran. It's so bad it's brilliant!

I'll have to fish the pointless P.O.S out from behind the radiator where it fell a few months ago to do that.

Do you want a free Alexa mini Gnusmas? No power supply because that's been pressed into service as a phone charger, which is the most useful function Alexa has!

My alexa has developed selective hearing and is about to be put to sleep.

Me: Alexa, turn off the lights
Alexa:
Me: ALEXA, turn of the lights
Alexa:
Me: ALEXA, TURN OFF THE LIGHTS
Alexa:
Me: FFS, I'll turn them off myself then
Alexa: Sorry I don't recognise that
Me: Now you can hear me?

This is the best use of Alexa I've ever seen.

I asked her to "open the pod bay doors" and to "beam me up"

It was more fun than it should have been........I think my wife wants to leave me

His response to the Mail 😆
Wow. It's pretty special how reading the replies to something that amused you on twitter can render it completely unfunny and make you wish you'd never seen it.

Friends of mine have an Alexa, it amuses me when they try to get the damn thing to play specific music tracks. I just select any song or album via Remote on my phone or tablet, much less frustrating that trying to make some electronic ‘assistant’ understand plain English.
I wouldn’t mind the Apple HomePod, but purely because it’s supposed to have great sound quality, I’ve never used Siri since it was introduced, no plans to start using it any time soon.

Weird, i talk to my phone in the car (google not Alexa) and it gets it right 99% of the time.  Much safer than looking at the phone too

Have you tried "engage self-destruct"
