Project Manager: Well I mean we could make a Well si since we are going for the the k the sort of company colours I think your lemon was not that far s
Industrial Designer: The the lemon Well what are the options ?
Project Manager: And if it does not work you know we have just made a lemon
User Interface: But we do not want it to be the childfriendly Easy to use it seems quite easy to use I like the d the different shapes of the buttons and stuff
Project Manager: Mmhmm I like I like the colourful buttons as well
User Interface: I think that is a good idea to go for And the mouse one I thought it was a good idea because people use mo mice mouses now with the scrolling thing
Project Manager: I mean we are marketing to sort of twenty five to thirty five so most people will have come in contact with that kind of use
User Interface: S So they would be able to use that as I said I think i I would presume it would come up on the screen
Project Manager: And that means tha that means you get to bump that bit to the TV maker so
User Interface: So that is the user interface So I will take this out now then
Industrial Designer: I guess there are a lot of options that we are going to have to choose from among and I will I will give you the I guess technical considerations for those And I am going to use the whiteboard just because we have not used it
Project Manager: I was just thinking the self same thing
Industrial Designer: Right So the way I am going to do this is we are going to take a look at some old remote controls see how they work reuse the the vital kind of essential pieces of it and then we will throw in our new innovations and keep it all within budget So looking inside a a very simple remote control this is what they sent me Kay Here is the competition I suppose you open it up there is a circuit board inside and there is a a chip a processor the TA one one eight three five which receives input from the buttons and ch
Project Manager: So this is a standard off the shelf kind of a chip is it ?
Industrial Designer: Right it is very they are very cheap remote This remote costs nothing you know so that takes a signals from the buttons and translates it into a sequence of pulses that it then sends to the to the amplifier which is made of some transistors and amplifiers opamps and then that gets sent to the to the LED light which I can kind of see is that little red light bulb at the end and that sends out the infrared light signal to the television Oh here it is so this is kind of the the bear essentials that we need to have in our remote control because it it defines the
Project Manager: So can we make them to pretty much any size we like or is there a minimum or ?
Industrial Designer: R no I mean this is a very old one so now with the new technology this is a a minimally small and cheap thing to make
Project Manager: They got to be Almost a keyring
Industrial Designer: Right So this is what we need to have for certain So you know as we said we got the outer casing which we have to decide you know what is it going to be the board we have to use basically the same setup processor we will probably use the more advanced processor than they had amplifier and transmitter are all standard so for the casing this an email I got from our manufacturing team you know we have a bunch of options from wood titanium rubber plastic whatnot latex doublecurved curved So lots of choices what do we think ? or sponge I guess is not on there right
User Interface: Mm I am not sure about the sponge
Project Manager: Well I mean like la latex has a kind of spongy feeling to it does not it
Industrial Designer: it is very elasticy for sure
Project Manager: And that would k also give it kind of durability and ther that is also f sorta relatively cheap to cast so maybe s a sort of plastic initial plastic with a a latex kind of sheath ?
Industrial Designer: so here are a a plastic latex
User Interface: I like the rubber the stress balls I think you know that could be a bit of a gimmick like it is good to hold and
Project Manager: I do not know what that stuff is
Industrial Designer: So something with give to it
User Interface: And that might be quite durable and easy to chuck around
Industrial Designer: and the colour is yellow right ?
Project Manager: I mean I forgot i we are sort of I do not know what other standard silver kind of
User Interface: Mm the buttons w like because there is going to be the the cover the the rubber or the plastic casing and then the buttons in probably two different colours or i if we are having buttons actually
Industrial Designer: So yellow for the body and then what colour for the buttons ?
Project Manager: I quite like the multicoloured buttons myself
User Interface: You do have ones like play could be green or on and off is red and stuff like that
Project Manager: or a limit maybe even just a limited multicolour so it it does not look too childish perhaps
User Interface: Makes it easy to use that is true because that blue one did look quite hardish
Project Manager: Although I mean this also comes to shape as well I mean if we are going to make it a novel I mean doublecurved sounds good to me if we are talking about sorta ergonomic and easy use a bit comfier you know
Industrial Designer: Mm kay so the shape we want to go how exactly ? Maybe double
User Interface: Like an hour glass kind of figure is that what you are thinking of
Project Manager: it is that that would be that is sort of comfortable to hold easy to hold so you do not drop it
User Interface: or just like a It is not
Industrial Designer: What about a banana ?
User Interface: We could make novelty remote controls
Industrial Designer: ? like we could have a big banana shaped remote control because it is yellow fruit
Project Manager: Mm and a lemon might be a little hard to grip
User Interface: But then how would you point it ? How would you point it ?
Industrial Designer: Oh i it does not matter which end you point I guess We could have a little LEDs on each end
Marketing: because then this this will help us in our advertisement also and we can relate with fruits and vegetables the peoples choices That what our data shows that so this w this w
User Interface: y I am I am not sure about the banana idea
Industrial Designer: So a spongy banana re
Project Manager: I mean that that th it does seem a bit again childish maybe
User Interface: I think maybe just draw on the kind of fruit and vegetable shape And what else did you say about fashions ? What was trendy ?
Marketing: the fashion trend shows that fruits and vegetables
Industrial Designer: So maybe an an unidentifiable fruit or fiable fruit or vegetable like so it would have a stem perhaps maybe a it would be s axially symmetric
User Interface: Like what is what is that I do not even know the name of it some kind of you know where it is like looks like a little snowman kind of thing I do not know the name of that
Industrial Designer: So it would look like this kind of
User Interface: that is what I was thinking
Industrial Designer: Like a gourd almost or a squash of some sort ?
User Interface: maybe that is what they are Because that you can hold it in like the bottom bit
Industrial Designer: and it has a a clear top and bottom so y so you could say you know it transmits from this end
Project Manager: why the hell not Let us that will make us fifty million Euros
User Interface: I do not know What do you guy What do you think ?
Project Manager: Well I guess it is kind of dra you do not necessarily have to have it sort of clearly identified as a fruit just to have that kind of fruitish shape
Marketing: then only we can relate it with something
Project Manager: we can relate it by advertising or
Industrial Designer: so doublecurved singlecurved what do we feel ?
Marketing: Or we can do something we can design two three shapes and we can have a public survey let the public choose what they want
Project Manager: There is a good man There is a good idea
Industrial Designer: I guess since you are the marketing guy
Marketing: sure I will be happy to do that
Industrial Designer: We will we could do that
User Interface: And buttons would did we say ? different shapes of buttons ?
Project Manager: I l I su I mean for the specific functions you know up and down play stop They have got I mean they have got standard sort of intuitive things that are always used
Industrial Designer: With the scrollwheel or no ?
User Interface: what about the scroll wheel and speech recognition ?
Project Manager: speech recognition I think so we need a microphone presumably
Industrial Designer: I could put the microphone here Where should I put the microphone ?
Project Manager: I mean ho h h wel are we sure that scroll wheel does give ease of use ?
User Interface: I am not sure I mean those ideas I saw were just for inspiration I think
Project Manager: Glad we are not doing this for real
User Interface: I can no I am not sure
Industrial Designer: well we can do some user test with scrollwheels right ?
Project Manager: And I think if this this new software for the sound recognition is the microphone
Industrial Designer: So should the microphone be just anywhere on it or
Project Manager: I would put it sort of subcentrally so it is
Industrial Designer: Kay there is the mic
Project Manager: So it can be sort of held and w We really need really going to need to hold it if it is going to be voice recognition
Industrial Designer: n well we can Whoops
User Interface: So let us not use the whiteboard any more And so what else was there ? the What about the glowinthedark thing the strip around it ?
Project Manager: I s I still like it
User Interface: Are we just going to leave that ? You still like it Because we have got the technological innovation with the speech recognition system
Project Manager: Yes or maybe it is just going a bit too far I mean we are pushing it probably with funny fruit shapes do not want to sort of overkill
User Interface: Especially with yellow Mm I do not know
Project Manager: Because I mean like if we I mean how good is the speech recognition thing ? Do we want to go for buttons at all do we want to just have a device that maybe sits and pretends it is a fruit ?
User Interface: Then you put it in the fruit bowl ?
Industrial Designer: They can work from a
Project Manager: you know and then you just tal
Industrial Designer: You do not have to hold it
Project Manager: I mean like everybodys got fruit bowl in front of the telly
Industrial Designer: I it could even encourage healthier habits for television watchers you know they have fruits all round them
Project Manager: Make them make them think of fruit
Industrial Designer: Now just make sure they do not eat the remote
User Interface: do we need buttons ?
Project Manager: l like think of a fruit that could sit sort of independently on its own like I do not know an apple Then it is just apple so sort of
User Interface: I quite like the shape I quite like the design of that because that could sit on its own and it is quite got a quite steady base and as we say we n we do not want to be too ridiculous with the fruit things you know
Industrial Designer: But about the speech thing it does not have to be hand held or close It can sit at a distance and pick it up still
Project Manager: So I mean like you could actually
Marketing: we can do one thing we can just have a remote control and casings of different different shapes different fruit shapes in such a way that a any casing can be could be fit into this mobile general piece So whatever people want like if somebody want it in banana shape we will put that casing onto that mobile phone
Project Manager: So a selection of casings
Marketing: it will look l In that w
Project Manager: It kind of fi it fits with f fits with marketing
User Interface: because you said about disposable did not you ? You said about disposable earli people want disposable things
Marketing: like if this is a like if this is a mobile phone we will design casing in such a way like half of we need not to have a full cover we will just have a half of cover
User Interface: so we could do that like have a choice
Marketing: ? If somebody wants it i in banana shape we will fit banana shape casing onto that so it will give a banana shape look If somebody wanted in apple shape we will design that we will put we will put apple shape casing on that It will give apple shape look So in that way you can have any that means whatever you want
User Interface: We still need the buttons in the same places thought
Marketing: button will be on the upper side buttons will be the on the upper side
Project Manager: You can standardise those I mean
Marketing: buttons will be on the upper side lower side we will just put the casing
User Interface: Oh that is the other side Oh
Marketing: so half of that will be look the
User Interface: Oh half a fruit Oh
Marketing: not not the upper side So from lower you can it means while you are holding of from this side you c you can have banana look or apple look whatever So in that way we need not to d have different different shape mobiles everything we will just design casings fruit shape
Project Manager: I think though I think if you are going to have a facia then you would want to have it so that it does go over the buttons because when if you think about it if they are wanting it because they want to look at it if they are using it and what they want to look at is facing away from them It does not really You know because that would be in the palm of their hand and they would not be able to see it unless you have sort of you got the buttons options on one side and you get the facia on the other side with a microphone so that you can place it face down And you have got the facia and you can just talk at the So you have narrowed it down to half a dozen options
Industrial Designer: s I guess we decided on material right ? So that that spongy latex rubber everything feel and the colours we got down and the shape maybe we will just make it kind of mix and match type of shape or
User Interface: Well because Well I I am not sure if we should go so far in the whole fruit thing because I think we should maybe just take the inspiration from the fruit and because what
Project Manager: so we stick with what we have got there
User Interface: w I think wh wha would we are trying to get to twenty five thirty five year olds who want it quite trendy as well they said They wanted something that looks fancy and I think maybe fruit could be a bit of a too much of a gimmick but something ergonomically shaped and organic like good to hold based on fruits and natural things like that because al already we are going a bit gaudy with the yellow you know I mean we could make it nice pale yellow
Project Manager: Well it is kind of got to be our companys yellow So again I mean like we could have I mean we could quite easily have the the main body be a different
User Interface: Maybe we could have that pale yellow and then an outside bit bright yellow with you said the logan the slogan
Project Manager: I mean e even if I mean not necessarily that the the whole body has to be of the company colour so you know blue and yellow tend to go to we well together So you have the main body blue with the yellow logo and slogan running up one side of it kind of thing
Industrial Designer: Great as for the energy source you know almost every remote control uses just batteries but we do not have to be limited by that We can use a handdynamo I do not know what that means we crank it ?
Project Manager: It is I think it is basically the more you move i it it is got a wee thing inside that just kind of powers it
Industrial Designer: Right it is like those watches that you c So this might be an idea for something that people really want to grab you can shake it if it is out of power
User Interface: Oh a d a dynamo ? like with those watches that you kind of twist
Industrial Designer: So if it if it is not working I guess peoples natural reaction anyway is to just shake the thing
Project Manager: You shake it and scream at it
Marketing: But but do you think that it will be a good idea to use dynamo tha these type of cells ? Because then people have to well like if the cell is out of bat
Project Manager: It does leave them with an obligation to Especially if they want to use it sp specifically as voice activated
Marketing: because most of the people
Project Manager: Then if it is just sitting on the
User Interface: then they have to pick it up and then activate it and then
Project Manager: Right what are the other options ?
Marketing: solar power will w also not be a good idea because then they have to keep m their mobiles outside in solar energy and the days when there is no sola sunlight
Project Manager: I am I am with Raj on that I have got I have got no I have got a north facing house there is not really ever sun coming in my window
Marketing: I think we should a rechargeable battery will be a good idea
User Interface: But w like just normal light ?
Marketing: They can they can recharge it
Project Manager: I mean I w I w that idea that I thought just on the basis of like ridding them of batteries and that kind of bother
User Interface: And we are a very environmentally friendly company are not we as well ?
Project Manager: having a rechargeable stand so that not only it doubles as a stand but for using it as recharging it but also for using it as sound recognition
User Interface: Like like a hand like one of those portable phones kind of thing
Industrial Designer: the user interface the buttons I guess we talked about this already
Project Manager: What is chip on print ? What is
Industrial Designer: th the the electronics basically the more features we add Oops this one So the more features we add the fancier chips we need to buy and put in | In the second half of the meeting, the team discussed the details of the features and appearances of the new remotes. Lots of ideas and proposals were raised, but many of them were denied or modified later. In the end, the team reached a consensus that their new remotes would have batteries that could be recharged, pale yellow slogans, fruits-based shapes and sponge rubber material. |
outlaw: I could really use some food to balance all the whiskey I've been drinking . . . oh, hello there forest hog!
hog: Oh, hello there Outlaw. Pleasant day isn't it?
outlaw: Why yes - now, out of curiosity, how's your diet? Do you eat mostly organic - whole grains?
hog: hmm..if I didn't know any better I'd say you were only asking this because you intend to cook and eat me, and you want to ensure that my meat will fit your dietary criteria.

Kyle: honestly, I'm so pissed right now
Ollie: most of us are

Peter: right | Peter and Tony believe there will be a new referendum concerning Brexit. |
#Person1#: Surely having a Granny about the place to give a hand with the housework can take a lot of pressure off a young wife, can't it?
#Person2#: Yes, I think this is true. But remember the old people themselves are often against the idea of going to live with a young family. You see, modern houses and flats are very small; much smaller than the sort of homes people used to live in.
#Person1#: And when Granny gets very old, then the situation becomes even worse, doesn't it?
#Person2#: Yes. As long as old people are able to look after themselves, the system works quite well. But as soon as they need any care and attention, the situation becomes very difficult indeed. It's likely that old people may go into a nursing home, but it's not as simple as that. Because of improvements in medical science, people live longer than ever before. The birth rate has fallen. This means that a smaller working population is having to provide for a larger number of old people in need of care and attention. The number of old people's homes provided by the State is strictly limited. There are private nursing homes, but the cost is out of reach of the average family.
#Person1#: And how do you see the situation developing in the future?
#Person2#: Well, obviously a lot of money is going to have to be spent. But it's difficult persuading people to do this. There aren't many votes for politicians in providing nursing homes for the elderly. | #Person2# states that the old are unwilling to live with the young and they should learn to take care of themselves. Also, he adds that the numbers of the young and the old are imbalanced, so the costs of nursing homes can be huge. |

#Person1#: Ah, no, let me guess. You want to sell a subscription to the newspaper or a great deal on airfare to Hawaii, right? [Well, ...]. Or, you want to offer me an unbelievable bargain on flamenco dance lessons.
#Person2#: No, no, actually ... Mr. Jones. [Huh?] Oh, sorry. That was the last guy. [Ah, great.] Uh, we want to offer you a free trial membership to our sports club downtown at the introductory price of $39.95 ...

#Person1#: Do you mind I have a look at your computer?
#Person2#: Of course not, I appreciate that.
#Person1#: Well, it has nothing to do with virus. The problem is your attachment is a bit larger. It has exceeded the e-mail capacity.
#Person2#: I see. What can I do now?
#Person1#: You can send a compressed one. | #Person2#'s attachment exceeds the e-mail capacity, #Person1# suggests compressing it. |

cooks: Don't repeat this but the King couldn't hit the castle wall with a bow 10 feet away! I hunted this one.
the man: I didn't know he couldn't hunt. That's hilarious because he claims to be so good at it

the man: What happened to Steve??
cooks: The king had him beheaded for telling him that the crops in the area need water not electrolytes.

priest: So that I am clear...who is Karen to you?
person: She is my cousin on me mum's side. We're a small village so we're somewhat prone to inbreeding I suppose.

#Person1#: Look at these clothes designed by top fashion designer like Versacci, Calvin Klein, and Vivienne Westwood. What do you think of them?
#Person2#: Well, they look lovely, but they're not very practical. I mean, would you wear that dress to the office or walking down the street?
#Person1#: I know what you mean. People would stare at you in amazement if you wore something like that in an everyday situation. I suppose only extravagant rich people wear them at cocktail parties.
#Person2#: Maybe. I'm not sure why they have fashion shows like this. Hardly anyone will buy those clothes. The clothes you see are nothing like the ones that ordinary people wear. It seems like a waste of money.
#Person1#: I think that the designers hold these fashion shows for a few reasons. First, it's just like a big party. They can meet each other and network. The other thing is that it is great advertising. All the journalists and photographers are there. Thirdly, it give them a chance to show what they would like to see people wearing.
#Person2#: You meant it's an expression of their fantasies?
#Person1#: Yes. I think the designers are saying that these clothes are what they would like to see people wear if those people weren't concerned with what other people might think. In a way, the designers are saying ' don't worry about what others think. Wear what you like!'.
#Person2#: Very philosophical. I think they design these clothes more for publicity. They try to see who can be the most extreme and outrageous, but still stylish.
#Person1#: Come on. All this fashion has reminded me that I want to buy some clothes. | #Person1# and #Person2# talk about top fashion clothes and designers. #Person2# thinks those clothes are unpractical and can't understand such kinds of fashion shows. #Person1# thinks people hold fashion shows because it's like a party with great advertising. #Person2# thinks it's for fashion publicity.

#Person1#: Hi, Laura. Where are you heading with that big bag?
#Person2#: I'm off to the gym. I've got to stay in shape, you know.
#Person1#: I know more women who exercise than men. What's the main reason you do that? For your health, or to look good?

#Person1#: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too. And I often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.

#Person1#: Your silk garments have aroused much interest in our country ever since our first order was put on the market. We have no doubt we can do better this year if you appoint us your sales agent.
#Person2#: We appreciate your intention, but the amount of your orders last year was moderate.
