Happy times taunting the less fortunateStinky Marcus and what we did to him.
Stinky Marcus was both aptly named and deaf. We used to place containers of deodorant and air freshener on his desk. This didn't work, so we got a can of Whiskas cat food, emptied half out and placed the can on the radiator pipe under his desk. It stank most stinkily.
This was followed bay putting capacitors across the scan coils of his monitor. Fine in text mode, much smearing in graphics mode :)
Next, we half wave rectified the power feed to his bench. His BBC and Archimedes computers continued to function, but the monitors wouldn't degauss :))
Finally, I thought fuck it, so we built a small circuit that allowed us to touch a piece or veroboard under the desk and trip the power to his sockets. Enjoyed that rather more than I should.
We built a coded door entry system for the workshop that hooked into a BBC micro complete with speech synth and audio capabilities. Whenever stinky keyed his access code into the door, the beeb emitted a 'BuuuuurrrrrrrrrMuuuuur' that sounded just like his speech :). Got a right bollocking for that one.
I set fire to another colleague. Not really a prank, I just hated him. I modified the boot ROM on his beeb to call a small program that played back me singing 'Pat Sharp, Pat Sharp, what a wanker ', as he resembled the aforementioned wanker. The thick cunt never did work out how I did it :)
Another cunt I had to work with was made to almost barf after a mate of mine and myself made fake dog poo. This stuff was used for many pranks including placing in lunch boxes, having a piece of it on my dinner, removing the guards from a fan and hurling a lump at the whirring blades ( I know what happens when shit hits the fan ). Sadly, a dog took a shit near his car. Thinking it was fake poo, the spakka picked it up...
I got a right bollocking for that. Worth every bit of it.

Other stuffThe moaning spakka had the wires to his wheelchair motor reversed, and the power limiter 'altered'. Twist throttle slightly, nothing happens. Twist a bit more and one wheel went forwards, the other backwards. One rotating spastic.
18v AC down an Econet anybody?, bang! goes the board.
Remove the plug caps on someones car and rest them gently on the plugs. The car runs OK until it hits a bump in the road, when you then get an almighty misfire. Took Pat ages to figure that one. Oh, and garlic granules in the heater intake, stones in the back box etc.
