We had one of these a while back and i believe its still squatting on the internet somewhere but lets go for a another one.
I'll start the ball rolling....
- When you are on a night out in your third pub reaching into your wallet for some shrapnel and you find 2 anderson connectors and 3 automotive fuses for electronizes in with your coins
- When you are sitting in a lecture and someone jokingly asks for some duck tape and you pull a full roll out your bag
when some random kids at school come up to u and say i saw u on tv yesterday
actually happened lol
when a supply teacher tries to do a lesson on circuits and show's us how to make little buggies...and i end up correcting her every 5 minutes and end up taking over the lesson...
:rofl:
When you deal in work by charging not cash but mag motors.
lol @ team orr
lol @ shane!
- When you wander around Wilkinsons going I wonder if this is spinner-proof?
- When you try and drive your car using only one thumb.
- When you follow OAP's down the street trying to see how fast their wheelchair is going.
When you're looking around for a new car and mutter: naah, not enough loading space, naah, can't fit a toolbox in there...
Travellodge customer services are on your quick dial.
When you look at a road sign and think 'Nice bit of 4mm Alu'
When you push kids off playground roundabouts and start jemmying up the alu checkerplate
when you strip a multi million pound turbine down and think is that TI and what grade;)
You know I had an eleven year old that did just that. Put her teacer to shame. This was in primary school you understand. :lol: :rofl:Quote:

You know you're a roboteer when you look up at the clouds and say: Hey, there's Chaos 2 and Tornado in the Season 4 semi-final! And There's Wheely Big Cheese! And there's... etc.
You know when you're a roboteer when you empty your pockets before the wash and find more nuts and bolts and screwdrivers than lint (happens to me a lot, had a packet of M2 bolts break in my pocket)
When you are stuck in the roadworks and start eyeing up the hardox on the JCB's
When that trolley left outside by the local yobs looks ever so tempting. Then you get it home and think I've used the wheels. Now what do I do with the rest of it?
When: there's a tyre on the floor of a garage and you see a robot
When: there's a wheelybin on a pavement and you see a robot.
When: you can't walk past a skip without looking in it.
When you read this thread and can say done that to every reply!

- You read about the economy and the new budget hitting the fan but you couldn't really care as the price of A123 cells is now sitting at around 5 quid a cell on ebay (4th bloody set of batteries in hornet this will be!)
on St George's day your flag is held to your fence with cable ties.
When you've filmed Mr Danby in many uncompromising positions for the X-rated version of the antweight DVD's....
