sometimes when im sat at home whilst i uni i quickly get bored. I feel like i need something to do, something that will give me a sense of achievement!

So what can anyone suggest that is fairly cheap? something that i can do in a small space and doesnt take up much room. Can be absolutly anything! Just something to keep me entertained!

Cheers Guys

Mikkel

Have a w ank

hahahhaahaa

i did try to make the post not lead to this... (hence saying in a small place, and not in my room, and saying entertaining instead of satisfying!)

But thanks ben, will bear that in mind...

Watch porn but dont w ank

xbox - job done. (don't be tempted by a Wii however)

I got a blow football as a joke xmas present, but with a mate it's bloody hilarious (for about ten mins)
Just a thought.

Or, you could try different porn to what you normally watch. Might find something else your into

Or build a megajolt.... about £50. Too much??? Soldering is fun

Build a 1:18 scale replica of your car. Out of student stuff...... I'm thinking empty beer cans, instant noodles and dirty clothes*

*Other clichéd student items are also available

Get yourself some airfix type models... some of them are pretty challenging..... Or a decent but abused RC car off ebay and rebuild it... modify it etc...


Or learn a new skill..... learn to write PHP or something... :p

teach yourself how to play an instument? Get a cheap tatty guitar or something....

Have you seen every single episode of top gear on dave


Dan

over the years i have learnt how to do loads of things. Normally what my friends can already do some they cant. These include at various levels; going cross eyed, wiggling my ears, juggling, whistling loudly with any combination of two, three or four fingers, devil stick juggling, card throwing, playing a digirydoo (cant spell it though!). Just for starters! They are all fun, good sense of achievement, small and cheap!
You could always work out doing situps, press ups and things. I can do a one hand press up too!

Agree with tegwin learn a new skill...... try your left hand

Thanks for all the input guys, will look into the RC car or possibly the guitar! Played guitar ages ago in primary school, would be nice to pick it up again

as for the left hand thing, learnt that a while back, good with a bit of variation!

Build a v8 from R/C car parts. See you tube. There is even a v12 on there!! Very cool

Build a car!! (from paper)

http://www.ne.jp/asahi/shift-down/austin/papermodel/papermodel.htm
There are quite a few print out and make car plans if you look around.

Or I built a 'billings' model boat (wooden kit). They are quire expensive kits to buy, but in terms of £/hr, pretty cheap!

Hugh.

those paper models look pretty cool, although also look very fiddly!

Some sort of model would be good

agreed 6foot blond one

im really interested in the guitar now, can anyone recomend anything to look for?

Im thinking just an old 2nd hand acoustic with some basic instructions (cant really remember much from when i played a little 8 years ago!

get a second hand acoustic off gumtree you should be able to get one for around £25-30 wont be the best but will do for learning.

then go and download learn and master guitar. its a 20 dvd set but if you know where to look you can get it for free. or chuck me a box of blanks and i will make a backup of mine for you.

Second on the Didgerido, I've got one I picked up in Darwin, can play it a bit too, but haven't picked it up for years. The challenge is the circular breathing, once you've got that, then you can really start to play.

I remember once busking down Kings Cross Underground station, sounded fantastic in the tunnels, and made myself a few quid

Or alternatively take up smoking weed and loose all sense of achievement and direction!!!

But smoking weed and losing all sense of achievement and direction is called being a student so he'll probably fit right in!!

build a megasquirt unit for your car at home.

Watch Brainiac and see what the nurse gives Mr Tickle to do when he's bored (if you haven't seen it, the'nurse is well worth watching http://img168.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=34494_vlcsnap-1567798_122_894lo.jpg )

Hhmm hadnt thought of climbing! Used to do abit of indoor back home, problem is alot of the climbing classes are on a wednesday afternoon when i play rugby.
I do fancy making a megasquirt/jolt or something, but dont have soldering equipment in my room

Smoke weed, w**nk a friend with your left hand and learn all about megasquirting between you. (and your girlfriend couldnt accuse you of going with another girl)

Easy

problem solved cheers FFTS

Knitting, you know you want to!

Take up drugs...


You could spend your time making some locost bongs......





Or you could do some work you student bum......

I say that because I wish I was still a student....mmm masters in chillaxing

I spent most of my spare time as a student in breakers yards, we had 5 within 20 miles (silverlakes being one of them!) my house mate was well into cars too so we were like pigs in sh*t....

When Steve and I were at university together we financially supported the local business community.

Bargain Booze and the Chinese seemed to be the only benefactors?

Mr Copeland look where you've dragged this thread!!! Shame on you

I suggest you collect bellybutton fluff and invent an engine that runs on it and sell it to Locosters with a view to paying off your student loan.

By the way where does your girlfriend live?

lol a few posts up re. most time spent in breakers yards, I did that too at uni!!

We started an in-college off road race "series" where we built buggies and raced them round the college farm.

We built a mini subframe at the rear jobbie, and a bike engine spaceframe one too. The local scrappy were very helpful, and donated most of the bits in return for free student advertising and big stickers on everything that we drove!!

Furber Bros of Child's Ercall in shropshire, Gary who runs it is an ace bloke, saw him again recently for the first time in ten years, true motorsport fanatic!!

Anyway, if you are really stuck, can you make it over to hinckley.........we can use free labour in our restoration workshop!!
