I have no doubt the draftsperson at work will do something. What he actually does will be directed at me no doubt.

I can't believe I didn't think of this before, I'll buy some tin foil in the morning and see who is stupid enough to leave their toolbox unlocked tomorrow night.

Half my day is going to be spent in court.

The landlord was up to his old tricks again so I thought stuff it, it's tribunal time.

Bond (which is more than 4 weeks rent) not payed into the RTBA. Walking into the house 4 times without prior notice, 6 phone calls in one day (all abusive), his wife turns up on a Sunday morning using language that would make a sailor blush. Refuses to accept rent (because he wants two months worth?!?) then sends me an eviction notice. Urgent repairs still needing done and he refuses to. Refuses to accept application to VCAT and threatened me in front of two other people.

I think I know who the April fool will be. :

Not wanting to be a wet blanket guys! But just a word of caution from a habitual prankster, think about your pranks, just make sure whatever it is doesn't damage other peoples property. If someone loses an engine or a tyre etc then its not a joke anymore.

Flux capacitors and foil toolboxes, love your work Psycho Chook, a true artisan!

I am pretty sure you wrap every single tool in the box up indivually in silver foil, and put them all back just as they were.

Nah, just go around to all the desks that are close together... swap keyboards and mice/mouses/meeeeces (whatever plural you use for a friggin computer mouse).

Then just sit back and watch as ppl wonder wtf is wrong with their PCs. They are typing but nothing comes up on the screen, whereas the guy sitting next to her is getting all this stuff up on his word document and HE ISN'T TYPING... it's quite amusing.

The other thing you can do is either put sticky tape over the infrared under the mouse or remove the ball.

Replacing the sugar jar with salt was allways a classic. I know umpteen million Engineers and they are all the same. Their IQ is arround 30 untill they have that 3 coffee/6sugar cup in the morning........except this time it wont be sugar.

4 shopping trolleys bike locked together in a mates room, a mullet behind the fridge, and coffee in the shower head.

Now theres a great way to make an economy sized coffee for multiple guests, shower head would work just like the head on the Mr Cappucino maker!

Probably works great as a wake up first thing in the morning too!
