I have to admit that deep fried Mars bars are excellent , but 4 deep fried Twix’s and a king size bags of chips beats that , yum , you can actually hear you arteries hardening as you eat , mega.:D

Snapper , is there a cheap and nasty hotel / bed and breakfast place in Lowestoft ?? , I get the feeling there are more than one or two Scots folk who will be around that area around the 8th of March . Can’t crash at your gaff as we’re on a search and destroy day oot , I’m gonna snort the last of my Vim .;)

[B]I like to wire them up to the circuit boards from disposable cameras and then charge the capacitors. When people try to pick them up they get tend to go flying. This always makes me smile on a slow day.

If too many people crowd my space in the office I have a novel way of removing them .
1) Switch off all of the office 240v sockets on the Distribution panel outside the door .
2) Wire a medium sized poly Capacitor across the – and + terminals of the test bench power supply.
3) Ensure the power spply is switched on , everything is turned up full .
4) Simply step outside and reset the breaker – voila – BOOM , evacuated office.

Another good one is get hold of a BIG can Capacitor , solder two long wires on to it , charge the Capacitor up using a power supply – then tuck the Capacitor down the back of your troosers , run the wire down you sleeves and make some comment about an electric atmosphere – or any other “shocking ” comments then discharge the Cap by touching the wires together – the closest thing you”ll get to ball lightning -ZZZZAP!.

No , I’m not that clever .:)

I have to agree with Ian , I have a Luftwaffe Tin Hat and a Luftwaffe pilots headset , chinstrap etc and I think I paid about $40-45 for each of them , the price does seem excessive.

Anyone remember the old Sinclair Spectrum computer?? I have a game for it called “Tornado ECR”. Basically you fly through various levels knocking down WW2 :confused: German aircraft, but you can fly either a Spitfire or a Hurricane instead 😀

It rocked!

I still have a few Spectrums( 16 AND 45 K – wow ! ) and some ZX80+81’s , and a shed load of tapes ( games ) , look up the worldofspectrum website – some great emulators there !! 🙂

What I hate is when someone glues a pound coin to the floor so you look a complete arse trying to pick it up.

I like to heat pound coins until they are cherry red then throw them out of my office window onto the lino coated corridor in front , they melt right into the lino and are damn hard to remove , if you are really lucky somebody will walk round just as the pound coin is melting into the lino – usually gets you a good scream and third degree burns for the tightwad trying to pick it up.

The “f @rting round the campfire scene ” still cracks me up – thats probably because I have the sense of humour of a 10 year old . 🙂
