I have a set top box for the TV, I have a modem, huge long wire thing (not sure what kind) and a scart lead, I might keep the scart lead but the rest???

The man who used to live here just upped and left, I am with VM too now but they insisted I need a new modem, and I have no use for set tp box. I have phoned them asking if they want it? But nope I have dispose of them in "an environmentally friendly way please" hmm

I don't drive so can't take them somewhere specific, do you think anyone would want them? They work perfectly well seems such a waste.

Freecycle it? Someone will probably be able to use it.

Advertise them on Freecycle?

List them on eBay?

You could put it onto a tv upstairs and if you wnated to watch cable you culd just remove the downstairs virgin card and insert it upstairs?

Offer them on your local freecycle?

VM did this to me too...

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
