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...

to make you feel better
i moved everything to an external HDD, and whilst backing up i managed to dink the HDD as i gently moved it to make sure it wasn't going to fall of the table. The HDD stopped. It was 2 weeks old at most and had 7 years of photos - wedding onwards - plus about 60Gb of music, the majority of it was genuine and i had spent about 3 weeks ripping my CD's ...
I was inconsolable.
I went to bed after not speaking for about 5 hours - then at 2am remembered "the old digital photo frame - i copied a Gb onto an SD card"
I wept with joy. I missed about 6 months of new piccies (new camera) and the old cam was 2.1Mpixels so had everything old.
I tried everything on the drive - my IT people here, freezing it, everything. It was such a small knock to the HDD.
i am over it now, but i have about 3 back ups of everything. external network drive with 500gb mirrored drives, external HDD and DVDs with it on stashed at my mates house in case of fire - and my parents house(password protected of course)in thair safe.
still no guarantees it won't happen again - always looking for new ways........
