Now that I have the perfect system I'm finally getting round to kicking out
all my old bits left over from upgrades etc.I don't know why I kept some of
this stuff so long, (senti)mental reasons I suppose.

Whilst I don't want anything for any of this, I don't want to just throw it
all in the rubbish bin either. So I'd like to just give it away.

So how do you get any of this stuff.?
I suppose the best way is to drop me an email ('david@mbsl.demon.co.uk')
saying what you want, I'll confirm that it's now yours, then you send me a
SAE or jiffy bag. (There is now way I'm going to pay for you to get this
stuff ;-) and for the cynics out there, no-I am not collecting jiffy bags or
stamps. I will only give out my address to the persons getting something.

In the event of more than one person wanting any of this (my wife can't
imagine anyone wanting any of it!) it'll go to the person with most peculiar
or funniest reason for wanting it!

I suppose I'd better put a closing date. All requests should be made by 1st
November. I also suppose that this should be limited to the U.K. but then
again, if want to pay the postage for my rubbish, that's your business?

Most of the bits are small and light, but I live near Kingston in Surrey, so
if any one needs to collect we could arrange something. However, if anyone
has a better idea how to do this, then please let me know.
So just what is there.

And one upright Victorian piano.  (If my wife can make me clear out my room,
I can too!)

And finally; I'd like this stuff to go to (sad) individuals or youth clubs
that would make use of it, not to someone who might re-sell it at some dodgy
car boot sale. However, I'd never know, so you are all on your honour.

I'm not a lawyer (than heavens!), but I should probably put something like
this on the end;
All this stuff I mine, I make no warranty that any of this stuff works (it
all used to, and most of it very recently). Anything you get you effectively
take out of my rubbish bin. I do not want any money, nor will I ask for or
accept any. (Although the lucky few could make an extra donation to his or
her favourite charity, but that between you and your conscience.)  I will
not use nor abuse any information you give me, including email or postal
addresses etc, and the only reason I'm doing this is because I hate to throw
kit away and that I want to!


wel that about it!
and remenber, lets not clog up the newsgroup, and if you do reply, dont send
the whole lot back to me, i know what i wrote!
