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.

Hi TRL
I've just been told that my ancient Toyota Carina (forerunner of the Corolla, in the UK, anyway) has failed its MOT (certificate of road-worthiness). It would cost around £500 to get it through, and as I only paid £450 for it three years ago...
Just passed 233,000 miles and now only good for the junk-yard. Still, I'm going to keep driving it until the tax runs out - waste not, want not, that's what I say.
All the best,
Che

Failed it's MOT?
Then it's not roadworthy and you're breaking the law by driving it.
