Thrown away: The stuff you loved and lost.Smash Wogan writes, "we all love our Mums, but we all know that Mums can be cunts, throwing out our carefully hoarded crap that we know is going to be worth millions some day."
What priceless junk have you lost because someone just threw it out?
Zero points for "all my porn". Unless it was particularly good porn...

Hmm..At least you are recognising some degree of parity between his irrational hoarding and your own. Even if you are not willing to explicitly state the fact.
Even so, never will you understand why we might want to keep that old 200Mb hard drive, that 486 mainboard. We know that it probably has no real use anymore but we like to look at the ordered precision of the components, the citylike tracery of the copper tracks, we like to pull the rare earth magnets out of those hard drives, and we relish the rainbow beauty of the spare power supply cables. All real men have a stash of this kind. Need a spare IDE cable? Lets have a look in my goodie bag. A hard drive activity LED? Lets see what we have here.
You want to connect both your TV and an old video recorder to the same coaxial aerial cable so you can record celebrity come dancing but your cables are all male-male? Well I did have a Y-splitter and a coupler in my bag, but you insisted on throwing it away woman. Just last week as I recall in fact.
Sorry. Got carried away a bit there.
A handbag on the other hand is just something you put stuff into. Why would you need more than one?
