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.

Ah yes,
broken throttle cables.

I experienced the joys of this not once but twice. On the same motorbike.

What did I do?

Why, I tied a bit of string to the throttle lever and pulled it when I wanted to go faster.

Riding a bike with one hand with the other hand down by your balls is challenging. Changing gear more so.

Why didn't you just
use a longer piece of string?
