Cardboard bridge.

I have a new aim in life. Amoungst the other life aims I now want to build a bridge out of toilet rolls.

It is possible.... link

Mousetrap for water engineers

What do you mean you don't know what mousetrap is? I think Gran still has the version we used to play. Hmmm. I think I need to head over to Gran's to check :-)

Either way, how cool is this? I want one!

World Domination

You Are Not Destined to Rule the World

You are destined for something else... Like inventing a new type of cupcake. You just don't have the stomach for brutality. But watch out - because many people do!

Are You Destined For World Domination?

Pants. I'm going to have to rethink my career.

Are you a control freak?

You Are 32% Control Freak

You have achieved the perfect balance of control and letting go. You tend to roll with whatever life brings, but you never get complacent.

Are You A Control Freak?

I'm very amused at the concept of me having a perfect balance of control and letting go of things - that's something I'm renowned for, just take a look at my diary and the amount of committees I'm on.

I'd have put myself far higher than 32%.

Lying to journalists.

I have to talk to a journalist about my career. She will then write 200 words about me, based on what I say, to include in a supplement for a technical magazine. I think I'm only included if I’m interesting enough though.

This is slightly random, and involves me trying to remember things that I generally choose to forget, like what my degree title is (Thanks to a course mate for help on that one). I’m also likely to be asked about why, 4 years ago, I chose to work for this company.

I’m not sure that I can give the real answer of ‘Seemed like a good idea at the time, and God gave it the OK too’.

Which means I have to lie.

It's hailing.

It's July 3rd amd there's hail in that there thunder storm.

July. Hail.

:-(

Maybe I will have to buy a sun lamp after all.

Someone just sent a fax...

When someone uses the fax machine it plays a tune across the whole room as it sends - The tune being the dial sound for each number. That last one managed to sound like the theme tune to old disney cartoons.

I am very much amused and will now be singing it all night.
