There ought to be a paid service out there for transferring your laptop stickers from an old machine to a new. I'd pay good money to retain access to this chunk of history...
Anyway, today I'm switching laptops and moving this baby to storage, so here's a tribute thread to the stickers you see on the photo.
(1/n)
(Top left-hand corner)
Ride in peace: this one (and the little square photo of tandem riders) came with my cycling jacket from Mova Cycling. I think this was one of the first Kickstarters I supported - still got the jacket, and still subscribe to the motto :)
London Cycling Campaign - the sticker came with the membership. I'm not sure if I'm still a paid member...certainly don't cycle much in London any more.

GNU sticker - came with the laptop. This one was/is a Libreboot machine - the stickers came in handy as I quickly proceeded to scuff the lid...
Radio Wroclove - 2009/10. #Wroclaw 's first 24/7 English-speaking radio station online. If you tuned in on a certain weekday morning, you could hear me host the morning show. Chaos. Pure amazing chaos. The sticker is the only thing left of the project, I think

Grinduro! - this was from an Isle of Arran edition, 2016? 2018? Grinduro is a cycling party/festival/gravel race, and it's now available in different parts of the globe. Going to this year's edition in #Wales next month, can't wait.
Blue/green wave/tree - if you're into #MagicTheGathering, you now know I'm a #Simic player, and this is the moment you judge me. :)
"NIY MA LEKKO" - this is #Silesian for "though sh*t / no pain no gain".

Rapanui - came with a T-shirt purchase, another useful sticker to hide lid damage.
GPL - came with the laptop.
Little orange one - this one was a piece of guerrilla marketing we did for our English tutoring + translation company - me and my future wife's, that is! Good luck finding anything at the URL. We've moved on from that idea, but still have a bunch of these stickers - they're slightly embarrassing, but hey, that's how it all started :D
That's all, folks :D (5/5)
