    what is the most valued item you ever owned that you broke by accident ??

    I owned a brand new Lg 3d tv and was playing Assasians Creed 3 one night and got really annoyed at a level and threw my ps3 controller and it bounced off the tv stand and hit the tv screen and cracked it :mad::(. I didnt have insurance but it would not cover it anyway so had to fork out for a new tv 3 weeks after buying the one i broke :(:D.

    I got all rosemantic while staying at a relative's house.

    I lit some night-lights for my gf and I.

    I thought the whole point of night lights was that they did not need anything underneath them .

    Not the case!

    I left a black circle on an (very) antique dresser.

    Did not go down well

    Valued or valuable ?

    Valuable - spent about a grand on hardware components - new motherboard, processor, gigs of ram & hard drives, built my own system. Finished the job, cracked open a beer when I was finished & then promptly dropped it into the open cast, flooding it & killing it.

    Most valued - a hand made glass christmas decoration that a friend of my parents made commemorating the millennium (99/00), was beautiful, a true work of art, had all our portraits on it, a real heirloom piece. Went to hang it on the tree that first year & promptly missed the loop onto the branch, it shattered into a thousand pieces.

    I used to be quite clumsy.

    I let my Portal gun (replica) fall down the stairs, smashed beyond repair. It cost a fair few quid too, there were almost tears.

    I'd have to say... some old Georgian era painting that's worth thousands - I somehow managed to tear a hole in it while moving boxes.

    Probably Bob Beaman's long jump record.

    The wind speed was slightly above regulation though so it didn't count.

    I presume it ended up broken but more a case of "lost"...

    As a two year old I was playing with the Omega watch my mother had bought for my father to mark their engagement and buried it in the sand on Curracloe beach.

    Predictable after hours response : my virginity.

    Real response: a ceramic hob (tin of peas fell out of a cupboard and smashed it. Cost me 600 feckin' euro to replace it!!)

    My 2004 Toyota MR-S, which was 8 weeks old. Completely wrote it off and nearly killed myself in the process. Lesson well learned!

    Serves you right, you should have bought a 99 one, much nicer ;)

    Glad you didn't get dead though :D

    I may or may not have been involved in an incident where the main subsea Telecom cable between Britain and Northern Ireland was severed.

    Valuable: My freshly repainted Honda Blackbird motorbike. It had cost me about 4.5k to buy it and put it right It went from being a munter to a minter to being pulverised in the space of a couple of months.

    Valued: "You do realise it's a miracle you didn't lose your arm, right?" is something you wouldn't like to hear from an orthopaedic surgeon. I did :o They were separate incidents btw

    Ive broken multi million dollar servers and caused untold amounts of revenue loss while I ineptly floundered around trying to undo my bodgery.

    I'm always breaking stuff by accident. Most valuable was probably a crystal chandelier I fired an American football through while trying to do a back pass. Probably shouldn't have been playing indoors but a few weeks before I put a golf ball through a window and football through a green house so I though I'd be safe.
