The most surreal, funny thing that has happened to me...

..Well apart from the time I was in Amsterdam and very high but that's a different story.
To get to work I generally get the metro as it's cheap and easy, so one day whilst I was growing my moustache for Movember (see picture)

Yeah not a proper Movember tash but still not too bad

I was waiting at the platform like I always do, just playing Sims bowling on my phone to kill some time, then the metro on the other platform pulls up. I look up at it just to have a quick glance and something catches my eye, a kid, staring at me with a fake moustache. I laughed quite loud and he started twiddling his fake tash, so I started too, then like some weird acid trip two more kids appear sporting fake moustaches as well, twiddling also. This had me laughing and smiling at the absurdity of it all, then the metro pulled away and we waved goodbye.
Was very very weird but made my day.

That time I fixed my Xbox 360

Well guys ever had something break down and thought to yourself "Hmm with some stuff around the house I could probably fix that", well I have meet the Xbox 360.

 I got a 1st generation Xbox 360, I remember a couple of my friends did too, but low and behold 6 months later my 360 got crippled. The DVD drive just stopped, no ejecting, no nothing from it. This is when I decided to 'fix' this piece of shit.

First I took the casing off, then found tools to open the metal case around the innards. Then I got to work 'fixing' the DVD drive and ended up with this:

BEHOLD! I fixed my Xbox 360 with nothing more than sellotape and the nib off a ball point pen. Although this worked it was a pain to change games, so I removed the case of the DVD player and ended up with this:

Pen and sellotape 2.0, this worked better than the first attempt, was easier to change games but sometimes the pen would fail and the disk would shoot off in a random direction, not great when you're online trying to kill some noobs. So my mind worked out that I needed something sticky, strong and reusable. Ding! Bluetac could work...and it did, really good, weirdly good.

Without pen, without sellotape.

Close up as it's spinning.

But in the end after a year of this my 360 got killed off by the 3 red lights, something I didn't even bother trying to fix, I binned it and got myself a PS3 instead.
