Let me know if anyone wants this, otherwise will also go to recycling for charity this Thursday. Pick-up at Lyndhurst Rugby Parking spot.
Note this PC has been stripped off and is not functioning anymore in spite of the MSI motherboard + i7 processor and the two WiFi cards etc. still intact. The two WiFi cards were working but have never been used for years as I was on cable. Some drive/card bay covers missing and there is a bend on one of the plastic case side as it was dropped by the handler when we moved. Some fans can still be used if you can tolerate the noise when it gets activated sometimes. Casing still useable if you have the patience to rebuild. Also note case is heavy as this is a behemoth.

We’re looking for the nicest neighbours in town, and Pam Driver of Burswood has shared her lovely neighbours, David and Lara Hurst, saying they “are just wonderful”.

This year, Pam had a missing cat, which was quite out of character. Driver let the Hursts know, and they joined the search, successfully locating him in the gap between the ceiling and roof of their neighbour’s house.

Pam said “They rescued him and brought him home to me... complete with some scratches! I hate to think what would have happened had he not been found”.

Pam nominated the Hursts to let them know she is thankful for them: “It’s so good to know I have such caring neighbours who have my back. Thank you neighbours!”

Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all (plus there are prizes to be won!).
