DIY Techno-hacksOld 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.

We've all been thereWell, if you smoke you have. I had fags (so no need for teabags), papers (no bible pages), and I even had filters (no hobbit tampons). But my lighter was empty. It was one of those non-refillable types, but I did have a can of lighter gas (so no need to syphon petrol out of the nearest automobile).
So I bodged together a lighter. I grabbed an empty beer bottle (I was right classy back then), and filled it with the noxious miasma from the can. This is sounding like a Monkey Island game.
Then, I diligently held my cigarette over the top of the bottle, and struck sparks from the lighter. Nothing. More lighter gas. Still nothing. A bit more lighter gas. BOOM!
I managed to set fire to my thumb, my hair and a bit of my face. I happily wandered down to casualty with a lit fag in my mouth.

I had a similar experience trying to use a kitchen blowtorch to light a fag.. Never again.

On our 2nd dateI set the front one of MrKitty's then dreadlocks on fire lighting his cigarette.
I swear it burnt for at least a minute but when we put it out- no damage. Not to face, eyebrows or even hair.
There was so much built up hair grease and product that the fire just burnt on that.
Ewwww.

What was wrongwith using the cooker, I ask you?! You can even use an electric hob to light a ciggie if you wait long enough...

Fuck me...lucky you didn't kill yourself, mate.
Its stories like this that make me glad that I go to the effort of carting a cooker round with me everywhere I go.
