        Hmm... action cricket balls & monitors are 2 items I've always thought of as mutually exclusive - I'm willing to change my ways however! :-D

            We made a great deal with a partner of our company and therefore moving to a new office, 18 month before our rental contract ends (This is the current office[^]). Although we try hard to find a successor who will rent the office and tease the rental guy to release the contract, we don't seem to have success either. So my question to you:

            "What would you do with an 160² office that is unused for the next 18 month?"

            (hey, we even have a 2 MBit/s internet connection!) Would you

            • Use it to make big parties all day and night long?
            • Re-rent it to some other guys for 1 cent/m² to make at least a few bucks?
            • Do some other, really really crazy thing?
            • ...
