    The post on what is under people's desks got me thinking. Would anyone like to theoretically swap what is under their desk for what is under mine? At the end of the process in the best BBC tradition you can just hand it all to a passing cleaner and avoid any obligation to actually post it out. As a reminder I have the following: Two boxes of books (SQL Server 7.0 anyone?), the motor from one of those radio controlled blimps that I won at a TechEd, 27 football programmes, a copy of Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' and a broken mug. I would like to swap for a Smarties Mug without too much internal staining.

    I have a Renault Megane rear window that I found along-side the road, still with foam edge protectors used for the transport of these things.

      At work, nothing under my desk but my bin and a couple of surge protectors that you can't have ;P However at home under my desk is my now unused PC, probably going to advertise it somewhere as spares, would probably be best as that. If anyone's interested I'll list the spec :-\

        Would that fit a 2001, original body shape not the one with the bottom, saloon? I have the garage space now as well since my neighbour took his motorbikes back. :)

        Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

            I haven't a clue what you mean?  The standard hatch?  Anyway, shipping costs would be a bit steep between you and SA.

              Indeed they would, it was a nice thought though. :)

                    It's not empty, the contents is just moving so fast you can't see it. Everyone knows Chuck Norris seldom moves slower than the speed of light. :rolleyes:

                      Sorry no Smarties mug, but I do have a Dennis the Menace and Gnasher mug from 1997, no chips or cracks, and its black so the stains do not show! Any offers? I would like anything to do with the Bay City Rollers or mullets in general :) Or a signed photo of David Hasselhoofff! ;) TTFN

                        Geez. Nobody's asked for Posh Paws. Come on people - at least ask for a Maggie Philbin or a Cheggers (the currency of course being 2 Maggies and 4 Cheggers equal to 1 Noel).

                        Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

The last thing I need is a rattle snake chasing the mice that party in my office to get royally pissed at getting his tail stepped on. :-D

                                      I'll see your tachyons and raise you a Klingon hoard, I'm sure I had one in one of these draws... ..one moment please... . . ..ah there we are, yes, one Klingon hoard complete with batliths and wrinkly heads ;P I am seriously going to need a clean out around here before we move offices :laugh:

                                      Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

                                        The post on what is under people's desks got me thinking. Would anyone like to theoretically swap what is under their desk for what is under mine? At the end of the process in the best BBC tradition you can just hand it all to a passing cleaner and avoid any obligation to actually post it out. As a reminder I have the following: Two boxes of books (SQL Server 7.0 anyone?), the motor from one of those radio controlled blimps that I won at a TechEd, 27 football programmes, a copy of Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' and a broken mug. I would like to swap for a Smarties Mug without too much internal staining.
