did anyoneread the Metro today? I read a story about a crazy inventor who lives in Crackpot Cottage. He was walking about with his birdfeeder hat on when a squirrel took it's chance and jumped on to have a free feed. Apparently the force of the squirrel landing gave him whiplash and threw him to the floor.
I think b3ta should find him and interview him. Imagine a trip to Crackpot Cottage, digital camera in hand. The man is bound to have some great inventions about the place.

I know Bob Symeswho used to present on Tomorrow's World - his house is quite similar to Crackpot Cottage.
It's a proper cottage in the country. He generates his own electricity using a steam engine and has two different railway tracks running through the garden.
He once told me he was called up personally by Hitler at the start of WW2. He wiped his arse on it, mailed it back and left Austria to join the British Navy.
