Confess, what old and odd leads do you have?

I am having another clear out and I have just binned

White and yellow phono to 3.5mm male jack

USB to mini USB lead

Blackberry charger

Nokia phone charger

Red, white, yellow phono to 3.5mm jack

USB to mini USB lead (yes, another one)

? to same ? cable (No idea what its for)

? to same ? cable (No idea what its for) Yes, seem I have (had) two of them

Red Phono socket, Green Phono socket Blue Phono socket to Green 3.5mm jack

Computer mouse

Red socket, white socket, yellow phono socket to 3.5mm jack

What looks like pc monitor plug to what looks like mouse plug (not USB) lead

Small Nokia phone charger

Monitor plug to Monitor plug lead

UHF aerial cable (Connect VCR to TV) yes, one of them.

If you have any of the above, why are you still keeping them?

I confess to about 20 bits of cable with moulded plugs on, all cut from discarded electrical equipment over years, and all kept 'cos they 'might come in useful for something' - they never do, but I keep them.

And, over the last few years, I've taken down a number of TV aerials, now useless, of course, and I'm never quite able to throw away the U-brackets that held the aerial to the pole - though I've never yet found a use for them.

Dang.... I have two CRATES of various leads, audio, video, power, network etc that I 'mean' to ditch but always fall for the 'the minute I chuck it I'll find I meed it' excuse.....

OCD hoarder really.....

yep big box here full off leads chargers conectors and now freeveiw boxes as i get flat screan tvs

I must confess to keeping a selection of old leads as well as other stuff.... "Just in case"

And on more than one occasion have used them in customers homes......

Stewart....... No my Mother never told me that....

However, she did give me some very good advice regarding using double-negatives in a sentence....

You got me. No hard feelings though.

Thanks for the response to my question and for putting up with this newbie trying to be smart.

Yep I have a couple of boxes of verious items that we seem to keep never use anything out of it

But Sod's law I will throw them out then want something

I'm looking for one of these. I want to download old recordings from the camera to a computer.
If anybody has one lying around I'll happily buy it.

I'm sure I came across one of them yesterday - if I can find it (and clean it up ) I'll get back to you.....

Righty-ho..... THIS is what I dug out...... if the small 'stereo' plug is the right size I reckon it's worth a shot at using.

Waddayathink? FOC - send me a PM with posting info if you think it'll work.

K-E - It looks right.
I have sent you a PM.

I tend to bin old stuff when I see it so my collection is not too bad but I think my house is a breeding ground for old Nokia chargers. I only had 3 Nokia phones over the years but it feels like every second plug in my house is a Nokia charger even though I have binned about 20 of the things over the years

K-E - I have sent you another PM with all the info.
Let me know if you have received it.
