    Brilliant

    Take a simple object, one that cant be improved upon (or so you think)
    like a coat hanger. How could anyone come up with a brilliant improvement for something so simple ?

    Well I recently saw an example. It's a purse.
    except its flat, with no clip , latch or zip. It opens and closes by twisting the top against the bottom. It opens to the size and shape of a drinks can, and it's secure

      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

        An Umbrella, remove all the metal and wood etc so its just the soft material, sow this to the back of your jacket at the top and pull it over your head when its raining. Ill call it a hood.

          Coat hangers are brilliantly useful things, like paper-clips except for bigger jobs.

                Yep, although I've never seen the programme you refer to. How many men here can honestly say they haven't transformed a coat-hanger into something useful? Or a paper-clip for that matter.
