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.

Not mine, but a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend.....etc
I heard a man (we shall call him Geoff) had a friend with 2 old beaten up cars (probably Peugots) that were the same model, even made in the same year I think.
One car could run, but the bodywork was mainly rust. The other car wouldnt run, but the bodywork was in good nick.
So needless to say Geoff bought both cars of his mate for a small sum of money, and promptly set about making one car out of 2.
The transplants went well up until the point he switched the engines. For some peculiar reason, the air filter on the dead engine was secured to the engine itself. The air filter on the working engine was bolted to the car.
Poor Geoff never realised this until he took the now completely useless "other car" to the scrappies. He then had to admit to being a nonce and get one of the air filters back.
Length? 'bout 8"x5", no?

That's terrible
He had to admit to being a kiddy fiddler before he got his air filter back?

Yeah.
All scrapyard owners fuck kids.
They have a secret handshake and everything.
It's scary stuff.

That's
where I've been going wrong.
Those fuckers have always made me give them money for the bits I needed.
