Aaah, Chindogu.

Anyone used to watch "It'll Never Work" (that is, if you're in your 20s and from the UK)? They used to have a section devoted to the art of Chindogu.

That'll be Angela Lamont you are talking about and in true "where are they now" fashion..... ta da! http://www.theedge-uk.com/angela_lamont.htm

You can even book her as an after dinner guest speaker, so I suspect you'll not be rushing for the 'phone however?
