I think I was 8 or 9...
We had a nice T.V in the living room, but as yet we didn't have one with a remote, or even a remote on a wire... And obviously I didn't want to have to get up and walk 4 feet to the t.v?! So I fashioned a pointing device. This was the two snooker cues from my table top snooker set, stuck together with brown packing tape. I then added one of my old Knight Rider 'biker' gloves to the end (making sure it was stuck in the 'point' position, and I could flick between 4 channels til my tea was ready.
result.

Why the glove?
won't a snooker cue press a button?

a year or so later...
i recycled one of the snooker cues and used the packing tape to stick it to a small bin lid. this way i could actually play the guitar. 'should I stay or should I go' was my party piece.
