Make me want to know his address - so I don't live anywhere near him.

One day his neighbours are going to become suspicious and he'll end up with the 3am knock by the anti-terror plod.

Did his Mum know what he was doing in the dining room!

Runs were conducted from the relative safety of the next room while peeking through a crack in the door.

I like his comments:

The centrifuge is a genuinely terrifying device. The lights dim when it is switched on. A strong wind is produced as the centrifuge induces a cyclone in the room. The smell of boiling insulation emanates from the overloaded 25 amp cables. If not perfectly adjusted and lubricated, it will shred the teeth off solid brass gears in under a second. Runs were conducted from the relative safety of the next room while peeking through a crack in the door.

I never really got into Meccano, but I did love Lego.

Lego had an outstanding year last year in terms of sales and profits. One of the main lines was their Star Wars line - of which I am proud to say, I have many items
