Lets see if we can find 101 uses for your Nagra'd cable boxes

Please join in - the less serious the better!

Allow me to suggest:

1) large and somewhat unwieldy drinks coaster

2) card store - keep your visa cards safe from loss coz you always know where they are. Not particularly practical to take shopping but very handy when you get home

3) door stop - prop the door open on a balmy summers evening and let the breeze waft through the house

4) winter pondsaver - stick some polystyrene to it to make it float, drop it in the garden pond and stop the ice damaging your prized aquatic feature

5) replacement for clay pigeons - there will be dozens of them cheap on ebay so stock up soon

Collect all the dodgy box's in the street and stack them up in a pyramid as an improvised ladder and put up a communal dish

6) Wobbly table steadier - for under the leg of a very wobbly table

7) Piggy bank - remove inards and then put your spare coins through slots to save for bigger sat dish with multiple lnb's.

8) pile them all up & build a barricade for when the revolution comes

9) get a few hundred build them up into walls around your car and stick some pvc panels across the top - instant car port
