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.

A well known fitters trickAnyone who works in a workplace that employs a fitter will be familiar with the first tool they pull out of their toolbox. 99% of the time it will be a small hammer that is smacked against a seemingly random point of the machine that has bust, with virtually a 100% success rate. However, try it yourself and nothing will happen. It apparently takes years of studying to know exactly where to twat it depending on what the fault is.
