Surprise Gift

[jay dh]

received this through the post yesterday from my gf, nice surprise...

didnt know this sort of stuff existed

sits proudly on my desk next to my mechanic hand...feels more homely when you put some personal stuff on your desk, especially gadgets

anyone else keep gadgets on their desks at work?

[Chuck04]

thats nice mate i do like that

[Kev Mc]

My desk is far too cluttered with :censor: to have any room for any gadgets that aren't my monitor, printer, or mobile. Nice clock though

[Demonic Angel]

I've got loads of stuff on my desk at work - photos, toys - I like my desk to be homely!

[littlewener]

i don't have a desk

i feel left out

:(

[Blaze]

I dont have a desk anymore! :D But i wouldnt have much on it if i had one! :P

I like those clocks seem them around alot in the past year i think, theyre getting popular!

[CAMSHAFT]

I have nothing on my desk that is personal to me apart from a bottle of holy water my mam gave me years ago, i not religious but i look on it as somthing that brings me luck. but yea i should get a pic of àisling and aòife,i`m not the kinda person that keeps personal things

[jaxx]

i put all my stuff on the smallest desk youve seen and then let of a small explosive device

order among chaos, thats what i say!

I've got a LTD Sterling engine running on top of one of the monitors at work.

[jaxx]

that one of those 'external combustion' engine things?

[Boro Sera]

yeah....powered completely by waste heat from the monitor. works on air temperature in the piston chamber

[jaxx]

they are damn cool!

i want one! they do a twin piston one that works on meths

[Boro Sera]

haven't you got a machine shop at your disposal??

Make one ! they're not complicated at all. Mines a homemade one using 2 AOL CDs as a flywheel .

[CAMSHAFT]

i cant picture what it look like have you any pics, sounds cool

[Boro Sera]

this one is similar to the one I have running.

I like the low temp ones as they only need a few degrees temperature difference to run. If made right you can even power them from the heat of your hand !

[CAMSHAFT]

thats cool, i never seen anything like that before, it would so cool on top of a PC

[alanbradley]

Now that's cool!

I have a little model digger on top of my monitor, a plant and a garfield desk calendar...

We get those clocks sent in by our tyre wholesalers.. look ok i suppose, but its the only wheel i know of where the dust cap is bigger than the wheel nuts

Our clock came from Kumho.. and has a 245 40x18 tyre on it (scaled down though)

[Calisto]

I saw one in a petrol station on the way to the Boro last weekend..... was tempted to get it but its a bit big to wear on my dainty wrist.
