Title: 10 Annoying Habits of a Geeky Spouse (GeekDad Wayback Machine)

Requiring extra room in the house for geeky things - Not all geeks have exactly the same space needs, but we’ve all got more than most people. There are the comic book collections accumulated over several decades, the stacks of board games and RPGs, and the old computer equipment that might be useful someday, you never know! Some of us need just a good-size closet or two, some of us need a room, and some of us take over the entire basement. For some strange reason, the people we live with tend to get a little annoyed at this.

If I cleared it out, I'd have room for a second freezer!  ;D

Our loft, and the loft of the garage, are a bit that way. I think it will take months to clear if we move. Hell, I've still got some magazines for the BBC Micro up there somewhere...

 ::)  I had a good clear out of the attic last year and it's now manageable.  I'm tackling the garage in a few weeks time when the weather gets a bit warmer.

They are very strong Rik.  Your garage will be cleared in no time at all.  He may even take Sue away with him if he brings his horse.   ;D
