Although I still think I should be on the song selection committee.
Anyway. This morning we're talking about idiosyncracies *relaxes on sofa next to Christine Bleakley* yesterday I was happy to wear my work security pass on a tag at my belt. Today it's in my pocket, even though this makes going through doors a more time-consuming task. Why? Because yesterday I was wearing a shirt that matched the colour of my pass... and today I'm not.

A collective project.
There are quite a few people who blog on here, about all sorts of different things. Politics, Food, Video Games, general life stuff, technology... all sorts of stuff.
I was wondering if anyone would like to do a big shared blog? I'll set the whole thing up on WordPress, anyone who's involved will be able to write what they want, some people might even write conflicting things which might be interesting.
Gaz me up if you're interested, you can post once in a blue moon or every day, whatever you fancy really. Can you please Popular Page this in case someone is interested who isn't around at the moment.
What do you reckon?

I've been given a 24v 100W DC electric motor (as I'm sort of known for messing about with that sort of shit), but generally, if it's outside of a computer I haven't got a clue.
I've also been given a 12v battery to go with it, and when I connect it up, it goes like shit off a shovel.
How can I control it's speed? I know I need a PMW, and I've found a 12v 30A one on ebay, how can I tell if this will be man enough for the job?

OK, so I've just started running a hotel with a nice restaurant with a bar attached. The bar is fairly popular, and so has lots of smokers lurking like fat otters outside the front door, where smart, posh restaurant customers should be walking in feeling all wowed by clean and healthy and posh the place is.
I haven't got the budget to put up a smokertorium, but I need to a. get the smokers to move exactly 5 paces to the left and b. kindly put their fag ends and empty packets in one of the eight bins I have kindly provided for this purpose and not ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE LIKE THEY@RE A BUNCH OF CANCER RIDDEN SEAGULS SHITTING FAG ENDS EVERYWHERE.
I have tried a. asking nicely and b. machine guns, without success. What genius tricks have you seen working to get people to not act like selfish cunts lately that might be remotely useful/entertaining?

I'd probably check out exes first - out of curiosity. Then I'd move onto the actor Mark Ruffalo (he's up for an Oscar as best supporting actor) because he's hawt and then I'd move onto Bruce Forsythe because I hate him.
Who, why and how would you go about it?
