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.

My Land Rover
I could write a list as long as my arm. There was a lot of sellotape, some gaffa (where would the world be without it?) and very little solder.
One of the doors was painted in a shade of 'Thomas the Tank' blue, because I'd bought the wrong colour and had painted the whole thing before I realised.
The best one was the weekend I re-sealed the roof. I spent an age drilling out all the old rivets holding it on, and even longer using a heat gun to scrape out all the manky old black sealant.
It was at this point I realised that I had a sodding great sheet of MDF to pick up for my brother that day.
Now here's a message to all those Subaru Impreza drivers (in the style of Crocodile Dundee). That's not a spoiler, *that's* a spoiler!
