A 128K spectrum heatsink makes a useful storage utility for 7" vinyl records, and has the added advantage in that it keeps them warm, and less susceptible to frost damage.

Also...Suck the eyes from attacking zombies using a Black & Decker
"Dustbuster." The zombies will then wander aimlessly and can be
dispatched by the more usual methods at a more leisurely pace...

I think if we are going to have a thread like this then its very important that the tips posted here come with a decent level of effectivness.

As anybody can tell you if you try the eye sucking approach to the zombies in Conkers Bad Fur Day they tend to rip you to pieces.

What use is this sort of tip if you can't rely on it when you really need it?.

A golf ball placed between the two rubber keys defined as left and right on a 48k speccy makes a great way to get high speed on Daley Thompson's Decathlon. Simply place your finger on the ball and move it from side to side when an event starts.

Also, from this month's Viz:
Top Tip: Police. Save money on expensive sirens by putting a police dog on the roof of your patrol car, and shutting the door on its tail before attending a 999 call.

A 'C' Cell Battery is far more effective as the slightly smaller diameter (26.2mm as opposed 42mm) gives a more positive "off" situation in the middle of the motion.

I was once banned from my local arcade by destroying the owner on track & field which had a strange set of custom buttons on it. He had a complex technique involving a beer towel and a plastic egg from one of those machines you put a coin in and turn the knob and a toy comes out. I used my index and middle finger using my Daley Thompson skills and promptly humiliated him in front of a crowd. He was sweating like a pig and I was standing there laughing at him while beating the world 100m record much to the mirth of the audience. He kicked me out halfway through the long jump the bas*ard!

Has anyone else been punished for being good at a game?

Kinda. I remember as a kid (aged about 12/13) being on holiday and in a pub with a family area. There were two pool tables, one in the family area and one a few feet away which was just outside the family area (there was no door inbetween).

Another kid there of similar age to me challenged me to a game of pool. The pool table in the family area was being hogged by a couple of adults, so we used the non-family area pool table, with our families as an audience.

I was better at pool as a kid than I am now (cos I used to play it more then than I do now). The other kid obviously played a lot too and it became quite a competition. Near the end of the game, it was neck and neck, with just a couple of balls each left to sink (fnar).

Then the bar manager appeared and apologised but said that a couple of adults had complained about us kids using the adults' pool table (cos they wanted to use it, despite the family area table now being vacant! :mad: ). He gave us the 50p back and we had to start the game again on the family area table. :(

After our game, the two adults were still playing so we watched them for a while - and it soon became laughably clear that they were both TOTALLY FUCKING SHIT! :roll:
