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.

"Could I suggest (if you haven't done so already) that your 'shopping list' when it is created automatically, is connected to a database that puts the items in order of the location of the goods in the supermarket? thus saving valuable seconds on your trip round?"
Ooooh - I like that. Sadly though, I don't use supermarkets all that much any more - living in the sticks means that I have no choice but to travel to the bigger one every now and then, but I try for the most part to use the local shops, butchers, green grocer etc... as not only are they cheaper these days, but they are more often than not much better quality.
