I mapped your street, right now I am mapping your house in 3D.

Perhaps not universally famous, but here is my patent being used in a Fluke product.

I owe you my life on several occasions !

[QUOTE 4532877, member: 9609"]No body has ever trusted me with anything like that - have shifted a lot of timber for pulping, so may be I have helped create some extra soft bog roll.[/QUOTE]
It did surprise me that as an agency driver I was being entrusted with that job!
I'm sure your extra soft bog roll is of more use to the majority of people than my A380. I would rather not fly in one of them; they're just TOO big .

I did the component design on the timber engineered roof of the Burger King in Banbury.

Finger joints?

I built Hadrian's Wall, all on my own.

I went to a visitor centre on the Wall once. I was really impressed by an artist's impression of Romans wiping their arses with wet sponges. What was your preferred method?

Must have been well after my time there; I used to sluice out with the below par tea.

The Talysurf 50. Is yours the older version with the metal casing? the cosmetic redesign didn't go down too well in Europe, but it was aimed at the far east market, the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans love it. See also the Surtronic Duo (for which I got the patent) it replaced the dull Surtronic 10. Sales in the UK and Germany were sluggish but we couldn't make enough for the Japanese who thought it looked like a happy Manga robot - that may not be a coincidence.

Ooops I'm mistaken. I don't have a Talysurf, I have a Surtronic!!

Not sure which model. I believe there were several generations and I think mine is an early one. Works fine but LCD display is 'leaking' and I was informed I'd need a very hard to come by (and expensive) circuit board to repair it. It's just about usable as it is.

Mine looks like this:

On topic, I made some bits that are inside the JET fusion reactor doughnut at Culham laboratories.

I used to work in the deepest basement at the British Library. There were a lot of steps to climb when there was a fire drill.

Good grief, a Surtronic 10. a proper old beast, it is analogue technology, if you want spares give up and look for Unicorn poo instead. The pick ups are still the best available though.

I went to Culham once, but wasn't allowed near the interesting stuff.

I lived in the house that invited Enoch Powell to a New Year's Eve Party.

Great bash.

I've appeared in a news clip on Serbian TV, sitting alongside their then education minister.
I used to help translate lyrics to be performed on Friday night TV in one of Spain's lesser languages.
I've occasionally seen people on trains and planes reading a book wot I wrote many years ago. It still sells quite well. (it's a book used in a certain field of edumacation). It has my photo on the back, but nobody has ever said "hey, that's you, that is".

I appeared in a photograph in a local Peterborough newspaper. I was supposed to look like a serious scientist. They told me to act the part, and gave me a sheet of A4 paper to study for the shot. It had a stick person drawing by the photographer's four year old on the back. It came out clearly in the newspaper feature.

I built a stone wall dividing the swimming pool and orchard for the guy who invented Swish curtain track,I also quoted for the Hadrian's wall job but @Marmion undercut me by 50 groats.
