I was bored, until I managed to superglue my fingers together, so am now peeling the dried super glue off my fingers which is quite satisfying.

I love my brace and bit screwdriver. When I bought it about 20 years ago, the guy in the shop said Black and Decker had stopped making it, and the one I was buying was the last on sale in the country! The only slight snag is you do need a fair bit of clearance to use it.

Anyway, this search always gives about an hour's entertainment:
things to do with nothing - Google Search
rasps
hasps
bastard files
flat files
doubled edge files
smooth edge files
what type of file is used to enlarge a 5p sized hole to a 50p sized one ?

Bit noisy and chilly though!

I once got phoned by a PM while sat on the throne, I answered it and said "you can't phone me when I'm having a tulip" although actually I was playing chess on my phone.
