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.

Handbrake troublesI remember when the handbrake failed on my Audi. One too many handbrake turns in the works car park, and the handbrake mounting bracket actually separated from the rest of the car.
It was an automatic, so I just used to leave it in Park after that. Which was great until a CV joint failed completely, half way up a hill. I had to roll all the way back down and find some level ground to leave the car on.
Wish I'd though to carry a brick.
