This, (this) is the list of things to do when you’re bored and have absolutely nothing around with which to entertain yourself (e.g. TV, Playstation, ‘Mouse Trap’) e.g.

Pretend you’re a robot
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Walk down the street with mechanical movements, adding ‘zzzzzt’ sounds with each motion. Pretending to have a motor broken in, say, your left hand can add at least 30 seconds more entertainment.

The ‘Amusement Potential’ timings, are a particular favourite…
