I found a lot of beercaps, a Eurocent that is not recognizable, some screws.. It does come in handy if I want to know if there's a metal wire or pipe going through a wall

I know at least three guys who had to resort to one to find the surveyors spike in their yards. One was hiding under a tree.

..in the yard, make sure that the spike does not go in a straight line to your house; you don't want to dig up your own sewerage

I leave for you as an exercise to decide how to use the former on the latter.

In fact, I wasn't absolutely sure that 'discography' is appropriate. Maybe 'marketing rubbish' could fit...
Anyway, I'm not so comfortable with advertising a murder on a public forum, either

OG, that's (way) more than reasonable! 
As they say, some of the best things in life are free (or at least under £10). With that in mind, may I recommend a couple of my favorites?
Merry Xmas!

It's what her tablet cost, and she's insistent that I spend about the same on me.
Wonder how many pairs of socks I can get for £300...

Asking what hobby you have seems to be forbidding, seeing your presence here on CP.
Buy some nice woodworking tools and if you find out you don't know what to do with them send them to me. 
A couple of Stanley planes would be nice and two or three rip and crosscut saws. 
Cheers!

of object oriented design seem like very, very good common sense:
- encapsulation: wonderful to prevent sphagetti code;
- Inheritance: I have found somewhat useful, but dangerous as most of my applications
are so unique (little cross over); - polymorphism: quite useful;
- data abstraction: I sort of lump this in with the first one.
It just seems to me that the concept of encapsulation has been lost. Every single project I work on, it starts righteous, then I get a C programmer along, and here come the globals.

You know what the difference between a C++(C#) programmer and a C programmer is?
C programmers have no class.

Smack the C programmer round the head until he understands that globals aren't really necessary in most OOPs designs, and both increase complexity, and reduce reliability.
Then smack him again for good luck.

Being a long time C developer myself, I can attest that any C programmer worth his salt can apply some OOP techniques to his code to make it more maintainable and reusable and also reducing complexity.
At the end of the day, there's a lot of buzzwords in this industry. But someone who's really talented can make their environment sing and work magic, regardless of the buzzword du jour.
Keep in mind, I got nothing against OOP.
