Works in ever decreasing cycles before conking out. No idea how to fix it. If you've got the savvy, it's all yours.

If it closes the deal, I'll even throw in velvet plum (Crown).

WANTED: Long Soft Pine Needles

A request that amuses on multiple levels, but perhaps most to grammar pedants

Location Coltishall
Description I am trying to find long soft pine needles that have fallen off of the tree. I would like them to make baskets.

The tree! You know THE tree! The Coltishall Tree! The Coltishall Magic Tree! The Coltishall Magic Tree with the Basket-weaving Needles!

That the Coltishall Tree is somehow magic is of course an urban myth. As any fool knows, it's the elves *inside* the tree that make the baskets.

My sister’s old sticker album

 Incredible item. Must be seen to be believed. Honestly, she doesn't want it. She's 34.

She's right of course. It's a dismal panorama from England's highest Norman motte: 21,588 glassy-eyed serfs with idiot-box pacifiers. Heck, they don't even have glue to sniff. And there's only so much you can do with a statue of Captain Mainwaring. 

Mr T coaster

Put your tea on Mr T!

Perfect for fool pitiers.

WANTED: Gravel

By volume, I'm pretty sure this is the biggest ask I've seen:

Subject Gravel wanted
Description 20 tonne of gravel needed, will need to be delivered

"Will need to be delivered"? No problem, Shazzie. You had me at 20 tonnes.

Magnets

Round yellow ones for adhering shopping lists and love letters to fridges, boilers and suchlike AND tiny cylindrical ones that are largely green and good for goodness knows what. Choking hazards by the looks.

This lot also includes a couple of ball bearings and some metal pieces shaped vaguely like circus strongmen. Aside from their affinity with the magnets, these have no purpose whatsoever.

(Non flatpack) Wooden Wardrobe

Contains rail for hanging things on, shoe rail for leaning shoes on, and mirror for admiring oneself in. Also has a door (with key) and a draw. It's brown wood & pushing 30 inches wide.

Barnados came to collect it today, but despite knowing it was upstairs, refused to tackle said stairs, citing health & safety, insurance and jobsworthiness.

So here's the deal: if you can be bothered to help lift this little fella down the stairs, AND you have a suitable vehicle to remove it from my property, then it's all yours.

It must go sooner rather than later so please say when you can collect.

WANTED: Jukebox

I'm playing for a jukebox ... Anyone fancy my odds?

Given that about 98% of the population just stick their iPod on shuffle, I figure there must be a whole mountain of good old-fashioned jukeboxes in this county alone.

A Wurlitzer or Rockola would be ideal, but I promise not to be fussy. I’ll stick it in the dining room, in the alcove next to the chimney. I’ve got the 45s all ready.

Nice one - Thanks!
