The sticks in my back passage

Felled a tree at the weekend so there's a whole bunch of sticks in the alleyway behind my house. A few armfuls anyway. Should make good kindling, though I suppose they'd be fine for tanning backsides, if that's your thing. Just keep it consensual, OK?

Corporate propaganda

A selection of posters from the Golden Age of corporate communication, to include: "Good customer service delivers what's promised", "Wear your safety gear!", "Always use safe access" & "Be protected - be happy!".

A great addition to any home.

Dot matrix printer stand

It's metal coated with a black plasticky substance. It houses the continuous-feed paper at the bottom and the printer on the top.

Designed for home computing in the 1980s, this is totally 8-bit kit. And rare too. Frankly, you're more likely to see a Javan Rhino before you see another one of these.

NB, if you post a rhino on here just to prove me wrong I will totally grass you up to the moderators.

Looking a few things:
Small Wooden Boat (Doesn't have to be in any particular condition)
Large Clear Plastic Sheet
Tartan Picnic Blanket

Sounds like someone's having a sneaky viking funeral, no?

Four wallcharts from "Personal Computer World"

Posters include The 1985 PCW Basic Converter Chart (x2) AND The 1986 PCW Basic Converter Chart, as well as the PCW Benchmark Chart from some other year that I cannot confirm (the Acorn Archimedes is listed as THE fastest micro, if that helps any?).

I defy anyone to decorate their office with a more awesome wallpaper.

WANTED: car door

Freecycle is for helping people in need. Sometimes those needs are general; sometimes they are not. This is the latter:

Hi. I need a car door to replace a dented one. The type of door I need is for a Volvo 940 estate (R reg) rear driver's side.

Obviously I have three of these in my shed, but what colour do you want, sir? WHAT COLOUR?!

Nearly a hundred 3.5-inch floppy disks

Are you still using an Amiga or Atari ST? Then you NEED these! Nearly 100 single-sided floppies (@720k each, I think?) about half of which have probably never been used.

As for you with more cutting-edge hardware, these beauties make excellent beer mats and are ideal for stabilising wobbly tables.
