Tuesday 19th August. 12.30pm - outside Zavvi on Oxford St, near Tottenham Court tube station - B3tard Andy Shreerin is giving away 100 copies of his board game, recently branded criminal by police. UPDATE: Andy says, "We had a lot of fun yesterday. Thanks for shouting about it on the homepage - we had hundreds of people show up and queue reaching round the corner into Tottenham Court Rd. Very funny day. Great pictures - I'll send you the link once they're up."

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...
