Things you just won't throw away
Discussion
There's no rhyme nor reason to this kind of thing, but we all have something which for some fathomless reason we won't bin. I'll start you off with my auntie's old fish slice and grater. The slice is worn and battered and I have a new stainless one, but I always reach for the old one. Same with the 1950's grater. Why? I can't tell you because I have no idea myself. Now it's your turn!
I have a t-shirt that I bought over 20 years ago. The print has long since faded and disappeared, the sleeves have worn and have been sewed back a few times. It doesn't even fit properly, as I was a bit chunkier when I bought it compared to now. My wife hates it and has suggested it be reassigned to the car cleaning duster bin.
Never!!
That faded old T-Shirt was on the scene for over 20 years before I met you!
It'd be like putting a pet dog down because it farts in its sleep from time to time.

Knackered old Adidas t-shirt...
So thin it's see through... holes, blood, gun oil, mud, sweat and whatever else you can think of stained, used as a towel, a cloth...
But it's been round the world with me and I love it
My ex-wife once threatened to burn it. She would have been an ex even sooner

Tv/ audio/pc Cables and connectors.
Draws full of scart leads, speaker cable, power leads, pc cables. Most will probably never be needed ever again, but we all know we'll throw out the ones that we will later need in years to come.
I've got a big bag full of this kind of stuff in the spare room, plugs useful for fuses when you find you have non spare.Draws full of scart leads, speaker cable, power leads, pc cables.
