" The gist of this is that it's a watch with a GPS transmitter that can show you the distance and direction to the 4 nearest pubs. Ingenious!

    Ofcourse we'd need a watch with a GPS to track where the 4 nearest bathrooms are

    The ability to track my house so I can find my way back home

    For a find home system i recommed a donkey or a mule. They can always take you home no mater how drunk you are. Sure, they're a bit out of fashion nowadays, and it's a bit hard to get them in Chrome-blue or Fire-red colors but:
    - They're 100% environment friendly
    - You can fuel them up by just leaving them in a grassy field for some hours
    - They come in a wide variety of grey/brown shades
    - You can fit two of them in a garage

    Furthermore, they have a long proven track record at taking drunk people home

    Yes. A friend once dragged me out on a pub crawl after a trekky convention. I was the only one not dressed as a Klingon, StarFleet, Data (3 of them) or Vulcan.

    Furthermore, one of them constantly had out his tricorder:

    "High levels of antonioum-C indicate that a licensed establishment is somewhere in the vicinity. The phase-inducer indicates that there could be a "wine-bar" 200 yards south-east and a "public-bar" further to the north. Captain, what do you suggest?"

    And that was before they got drunk.......

    oh boy.
