Tap and drill set (I think, not absolutely sure what it is)
Gift from the Father-in-law, shipped from Canada so the postage cost way more than the kit.

He used to specialise in this. Radio-controlled alarm clocks that had to be within reach of Colorado, US; imperial feeler gauges.

Have a mass of stuff like this that just sits unused.

ton you well and truly trumped me ! Me had a new kitchen fitted earlier this year .The one input I insisted on was moving the breakfast bar . I was fed up sitting staring at a wall so wanted it so I could gaze into the garden . The two new stools that replaced the comfy old ones by god they give me back ache ! 😔😔😔😔
The only use they get now is when the grandkids come round they love spinning around and going up and down on them 🙄
I guess if they break them I can look round for some more 🙄

Apple Time Capsule. Bought it after my last MacBook’s hard drive shat the bed.

Still not plugged it in.

Dynaplug.

Saris bike rack. Had it since 2008. The ex used it once and said the straps kept coming loose. I’ve no idea if that’s true as it doesn’t fit either of the current cars on the drive.

had a nice kitchen fitted 15 years ago. never used the dishwasher…

I’ve never switched on the the dishwashers in any of the houses I’ve lived in. Just use them as a cupboard, then forget whats in them. Never explicitly bought one though, they were just already there.

Why would you not use a dishwasher?! Surely eating off paper plates all the time gets quite expensive??

I was bought a hip flask, it’s got a woolen Christmas jumper type cover on it. Never been out of the cupboard. I’m sure there are many other things.

I got given a pewter tankard for my 21st birthday. That’s had over 35 years of sitting in cupboards/on shelves, don’t think it’s ever even had liquid in it.

I was given a Hip Flask when I was Best Man some 25 years ago. We used it as a prop in a play a couple of weeks ago, but it’s never had anything drinkable in it.

Inflatable double bed thing from Aldi – supposed to be for when all the relly’s descend at once – Been out of the box once where we discovered it was too big for the room it would need to go in anyway. It will probably get dragged out of the loft long after I’m dead.

Hopper Area 51 ramp. Just too scared.

Hope R4 and District lights and associated batteries. Used them loads for commuting in London in the beforetimes and then the bike with the mounts on got stolen and I’ve never got round to doing anything useful with them. It also doesn’t help that after a while the charger/battery connector turns useless and makes them hard to charge up.

So you can be an edgy hipster who practises artisan dishwashing by hand.

We’ve made loads of igloos with the shovels

@generalist you know they’re actually for building kickers? 😉

A matching pair of ice tools (shortish axe and hammer) that were bought for a trip to the Rupshu Himalaya region in 1997. They went with us, but there was nothing steep enough to warrant breaking them out of the packing barrel – a normal walking axe was fine. So they came home again to languish in the bottom of a cupboard, and still have the price stickers on them as far as I recall.
By contrast, I have a 500ml water bottle from the same trip which is the only one in my cupboard that fits into the current bike’s frame, so that gets used all the time. Much to my wife’s disgust.

Ah gotcha! Like, the same people who say a knife sharpener isn’t a knife sharpener even though it sharpens knives 😛

a bearing puller that was £3 in a sale that i used to get free postage, no idea what it fits

I am loving the idea of Ton being ” an edgy hipster who practises artisan dishwashing by hand”!

Kickers schmickers. We don’t build, we find 🙂 . Too lazy to build 🙂
