    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.

      Sorry no smarties mug, my desk clutter consists of £10,000+ worth of custom electronics and protoype hardware. Much as I'd love the blimp motor and the SQL books I don't think it would be a fair swap, plus my boss would undoubtedly kill me :laugh:

        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. :)

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

                        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:

                            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).

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

                                      hmmm... okay... how about I pass the hantavirus risk, asbestos risk, snake bite risk, and spider risk all off to you? :) I have to check under the desk every day before I put any legs in there. 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

                                          But the underneath of my desk is composed entirely of tachyons and they can kick the crap out of Chucky Cheese.

                                          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.
