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.

TV hitting"I have found, however, that punching your tv in the right spot will restore the picture."
Whe I worked at our local railway station, the train times were displayed on a bank of large CRT monitors quite high up on a wall. Occasionally one would go out of synch and the times would randomly scroll up or down making it unreadable.
We kept an old walking stick that had been handed into lost property and never reclaimed for the sole purpose of whacking the monitor to make it work again. It was easy to see where to hit it, as there was a large round mark on the side of the case.
