There's a tool sharing program in my neighborhood. You pay like $20 a year for access, and come by, borrow a tool/leave a tool. It's great as people leave lots of big tools sitting around doing nothing.

I want that for computer parts and wires.

Lets pool our ps/2 keyboard adapters and VGA cords together!

You've already got a decent business name for it (minus the "@slrpnk.net" part)!

Less, not none. The U has to stay to appease the UK regulatory boards.

It needs a catchy theme song. Something like:

Neeeighbour tools....
Everybody needs good neeeighbour tools

and then I don't know, a saxaphone or something

There is a long running tv drama called Neighbours in Australia. Should just re use that one.

Australian here, too many words

It'll sound of from what I remember the song sounding like but I don't actually watch it and have only heard it a few times on TV

I used to watch that show everyday after school. I still vividly remember the theme song.

Neighbours in Australia, yeah!
Coming at ya like a man on fire
Libby and Harold and all the rest
Come and get it all of your chest, yeah!

That's not the one I remember, but I may be getting it mixed up with home and away. It has been almost 15 years since I have seen the show.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I've heard home and away has gone to shit recently but I don't actually watch it because it doesn't interest me

Home and Away also had a kickass theme:

We've never been that long together
You and Fred, and Eva, and Heather
No matter who you are
You're not shy you star

And the very first moment I sold you
I never felt such a motion
I'm walll-kiiiiing oh nair
Just a gnome (just a gnome)
You were deeaaad (you were deeaad)
