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...

Much hard work and creativityWhen I was around 10, myself and my friend got it into our heads to produce a school comic. This was before computers had really started to enter the home so involved wax stencils, a hand-turned duplicator and much manual collating and stapling. I'd do the framing and typing, him the drawing and we'd work on scripts etc together. We did pretty well, increasing readership and went to 7 issues in all. We barely covered our costs but bought a few sweets with what we made.
Because he was more organised than I was, I let him keep the archive copies. However, turns out his Mum was opposed to the comic, thinking they took too much time away from his school work and ended up throwing them all away. My Mum never threw out anything, ever (it was a nightmare when she died recently) so a bit of a misjudgement there. Unfortunately, my Dad had thought the stencils were rubbish (or more likely I had left them in his way, being less organised).
I'd gladly give 100 quid or more for any copy of those comics. Well, I did somehow end up with a copy of one of them somehow but it's not one of the better ones.

I did something similarA friend and me set work to making a sticker book, in stoneage computer era, we had one of those bbc nimbus things. so all was done by hand. Made about 100 different monster stickers using those a4 sheets full of white lables cut in half. As the duplicate copies went on the cruder the monsters became, poor.
Havent a clue where they all went.
