I currently have six, and I don't know why I still own any of them.
My downstairs DVD player's disc drawer likes to open up again every time I push it in, and does this for about 10 minutes before it actually plays anything. My upstairs DVD/video combi just doesn't want to read any disc you put into it, but is more than happy to play videos, my upstairs TV needs the 'on' button pressed about 100 times before I can see or hear anything (each time I press it I just hear a strange popping noise before it eventually comes on), I have to toast a piece of bread about 3 times in my toaster before I actually get anything resembling toast, my phone will only stay fully charged for about a day, and my beautiful little freeview/DVD combi just does not do what you expect it to when it has a scart inside it.
Anyone else own things they haven't got round to replacing/trashing?

Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.
But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

I have 3 TV's, a DVD player, a hi-fi, a Freeview box and a lamp gathering dust in my airing cupboard that are all broken. I really should get them taken away.

Like others, I seem to have quite a few things which are "only a bit" broken, so I keep them for the use they're still good for.
An example being the VCR buried down behind the main television in the sitting room. It long since gave up recording or playing back, but it's still there as a convenient way of converting a SCART signal to RF, to distribute round the rest of the house.
