This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.

Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?

Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

I
only wish that were true.

Most of this stuff is bodged together out of bits and bobs - and a lot of it I had to brain-drain the electronic engineer at work for.

A year ago, I didn't even know what a resister did (although to be fair, I could guess from the name).

I even looked at electronics evening classes recently so I didn't have to make this stuff by trial and error and would have half a chance before I set out, but all I could find were "Soft furnishings" and "Falconry".

No wonder the country us fcked up!
