I've long since given up wearing a tie - why trust a man who voluntarily wraps a noose around his neck? - but as a sop to modern work-wear I have a security badge dangling from a lanyard.

The lanyards that work hands out are unspeakably corporate - and the ones I've picket up at conferences are strewn with logos of companies who couldn't pay me to advertise them. I need something... special.

Luckily, my friend and neighbour runs Jenny Wren Creates. She specialises in making bespoke, geeky, and reasonably priced thingamijigs.

Beautiful! (The lanyard, not me!)

Jenny is selling the lanyards for £7 + P&P.

She also has a Police Box with a darker pattern:

And space invader wallets:

Snap 'em up quick!

It's a Panopticon '93 Officially licensed TARDIS - similar to this one on RetroTrader.

It's a little scuffed, but nothing a lick of paint can't fix. Of slight - very slight - annoyance is that it's a fraction too shallow to hold standard DVD cases and have the doors tightly shut.  So I've decided to keep them open to show off my collection.

By my reckoning, each shelf can hold about 34 DVDs - so 136 in total.  With around 11 completely missing serials, from a total of 157, it looks like I might have to find a way to make this one ever-so slightly bigger on the inside...

Thanks to my ever loving - and ever patient - wife, Liz, for putting up with me.  She's a far better companion than any the Doctor ever had :-)

Sadly, it turned out to be made of cardboard and only suitable for storing DVDs. No flying through time for me :-(

Also, it turns out that it wasn't bigger on the insider than on the outside.  Meaning, it's now full.  Does anyone know where I can get another one?
