Wow! Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Will take them all on board --- and I feel quite a number of other forumites will benefit from your thoughts too.

Those setups at the addresses you pointed out have had me drooling all day. Pixie!!

What a lot of great ideas. Will take all the thoughts on board --- and I'm sure they will bear fruit. Some of the suggestions (not many) I have; for others I'll have to spend some time visiting stores, and picking the brains of some friends who are more au fait with electronic gizmos than I am.

Now the stress ball is a good idea, and I will have to do something about a bar fridge. On second thoughts, I may leave that at a distance. Out of temptation's way.

Again, thanks.

P.S. Do you supply those imitation bricks, Crash? Know what you mean.
