convenient?

Great things cordless phones! you can walk around the house unencumbered by cords or get away from noisy co-habitants...
..BUT they are never close by or in the charging cradle when they ring!
You wander 'round the house following the ring desperately trying to find the bloody handset before the caller hangs up or the answering machine takes over the call...(doesn't help when you are half deaf in one ear and direction finding by sound is difficult!)
...and sometimes when you find the handset it's sitting within a metre of the second cordless handset, (also not in its charging base)....
Yep, damn fine invention that one!
(why is it that you can always remember where you put your mobile phone but not the home phone?)
