Mods: this isn't an ad, because I don't want any money for these things; however, if this thread is inappropriate, please delete it (and email me to tell me, natch).

First come first served, etc. Things will be chucked in a jiffy bag and posted at my convenience. If the awful guilt of getting free things is too much, a modest donation to Shelter or UNICEF (my charities of choice) would be great.

I have a couple of Timefactors NATOs I don't use; a "Bond" one, and a blue one with red/grey/red centre stripes. Lightly used.

A Casio A200 digital watch. Probably one for the collectors out there; it's mid-90s vintage, probably works. Needs a battery.

A desktop dock for a BlackBerry Storm 2 mobile phone. Phone not included. Other smartphones are available.

A Motorola Razr V8 mobile phone, unlocked. I hate it. But it works, and it's 3G and stuff.

PM me if you're interested in any of this crap. One item per person, I think.

I'll relieve you of the NATOs Peter. Happy to make a donation to an appropriate charity too.

What size are they?

OK, NATOs;

1 to stuart, 1 to Slinky. Fight amongst yourselves for who gets which one.

RAZR to whiteonyx.

On charities: I don't want to make a big deal out of this bit, and it's strictly between you and your conscience; I just mentioned the two up there in case someone didn't have a particular charity in mind. TBH, as long as it's not the Evil Nazi Kitten Kicking Foundation, I don't really mind.

Since nobody else fancies a free watch in the watches forum, I'll take the A200 if it's still available smile

Mr Happy "wins" the A200.

PM me with delivery addresses, chaps. I'll probably get this stuff out either Saturday (if you're really lucky) or Tuesday (if you're not).

I take offence to that. We work hard here at the Evil Nazi Kitten Kicking Foundation rounding up stray kittens, donning our jack boots, singing "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" (the original version, obviously) and kicking said kittens to death. We do not discriminate on breed, sex or colour of kitten. It's not work we take lightly so please donate freely to www.justgiving.com/evilnazikittenkickingfoundation...

Good man. I've put a kitten fur-lined Nazi helmet in the post for you.

I remember the old quotes from those 'commando' comics -
"Hander hoch schweinhundkitten".
It all makes sense now.

Word of warning: the puppy and piglet kicking charities are rivals, constantly stealing our support.








Do you think in years to come, there'll be comics about British and US forces killing Iraqi troops?

Mine arrived this morning - looks as if it was languishing in the darker recesses of our post room for a few days. I'm not wearing a 20mm lug width watch today, but will post some pics later.

Many thanks CJ - you're a legend.
