I wanted to start this thread as a bit of a confessional, for people who might wish to come along and mention occassions when we've somehow managed to do something so stupid we've even amazed ourselves?
My "first" contribution that I wish to make to the topic is that I once took home from work (with permission) a massive double glased window.
My then wife and I didn't have a window in our house that big, so what was I thinking of you might ask?
As far as I can remember my idea was to try to use the glass somehow, maybe in a greenhouse or cold frame, but as you may have noticed greenhouses do not have double glasing!
I tried to save the day by trying to separate the two panes of glass - an impossible task you might know but I didn't obviously. "Luckily" in the end my marriage failed (or should that be, "Luckily when my marriage failed?") and we sold the house so I was able to leave the enormous window behind the large shed and give someone else the job of trying to move it and dispose of it - so I wasn't entirely stupid even then
