So my wife has had one of her "brilliant ideas." Phil, why don't you and all your geek friends take all that random sh*t that you've got sitting around for one of those "it'll come in handy one day" type occasions. Maybe mark it free to good home.... blah blah blah..... Think of all the other wives that'll be happy when all that random junk suddenly disappears.

So don't blame me when I bring the random junk box "free to good home etc" If you take it all back with you, you can face the wrath of your own missus :P
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

But what if everybody brings their own 'free to a good home box' and all you end up doing is swapping one kind of stuff for another, and then feeling the wrath of wife?

By specifically NOT Restricting the move to you only, she and all the missus will just end up with a different pile of retro stuff at home :lol:

Yeah, sorry guys; I was all set to make a soundfile of the actual advert, but couldnt get Audacity to grab the correct audio stream, so gave up to try later.

Glad someone did it. Thank you @derkom .

As for the buy, sell, or angry partner...

Well, Mrs.BomberMillzy is very good in that respect. She is actually a big gaming fan, with DOS games as well as Skyrim taking up her screen time. She has even been practicing some 'techie' terms like 'Amiga' and 'Megabytes' for the show! :lol:

She didnt complain with such things like travelling down to London on Valentines day to pick up 5 x 21" CRT monitors, so, yeah, Im with @exxos on that one.

Perhaps I missed a trick for the event and should have had a 'Exchange retro gear for better wives' programme. :lol:
