This is a question 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.

Crash n Burn
At a house party my mate Adam who works in IT support was doing the unthinkable – he was actually talking to a real live woman. I was stood nearby listening in on the conversation in the absence of fuck all interesting to do. Admitedly, this woman looked a bit like Quasimodo with a mop on his head, but she was certainly packing all the necessary equipment to take Adam on a trip to spunky squidgeville south of the boarder, and Adam really wasn’t in a position to be choosy.

Adam’s waxing lyrical about his amazing electronics projects (he may as well have been speaking Russian), and strangely this woman doesn’t seem to be put off. Eventually Quasimodeana, upon learning about Adam’s profession, says: “Why don’t we take this upstairs – I’ve got a hard drive you could slide your floppy disk into...”

I nearly choked on my pint. Then Adam, never one to miss an opportunity, replies: “I think you’ll find no one uses floppies anymore; this isn’t the eighties. If you want I can sort you out and upgrade... at cost... ” And he wanders off leaving Quasimodeana dripping fanny batter on the carpet.

Adam is a cock. Sometimes it pays to know fuck all about computers and all that bollocks.

Oh dear...
I bet the only reason she kept listening was because she was trying to think of some techie innuendo...

"I've got somewhere special you can put YOU DONGLE!".... no?

Lovely.
"And he wanders off leaving Quasimodeana dripping fanny batter on the carpet."
Is probably the best (and worst) thing I've ever read.

Sounds like more of a legend than a cock, even if he is one of those single, serial-masturbator sort of legends.
