    My new place has an extra lounge/dining room that I'm not too sure what I want to do with yet. I already have a TV/sitting room. It's a bit too small for a pool table or for table tennis. Any suggestions what I can do with it?

      Reminds me of my own model railroad, I wonder where I left it. Too bad I don't have room for it anymore :( Can't I borrow some of that lounge space?

      WM. What about weapons of mass-construction?

        Pinball? Arcade Machine? Massive Scalextric track - my preferred option.

          Model railroads are cool! I've never had enough indoor space to fit one though, and now I don't really have the free time for one either.

              Games room / DVD room with good speakers. Paint the walls black and have low level lighting to provide a larger space than seems possible.

                                        I'll buy the tools and supplies and donate them free of cost if we can get Kyle or Osmo (Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn) in them when I can get time off.
