Your most treasured possession

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Memories of my dad and grandfather and i suppose the uncomplicated memories of childhood.

i've decided that Mr strange qualifies as a 'possession', because if someone tried to steal him they'd be on the wrong end of emily's anger... not pretty.
presumably he'd be pleased to know i care enough to get into a fight.. i'd have to ask him

This is a bit sad, but I'd have to say my Sunderland scarf (if we're dealing exclusively with posessions).

My Auntie Lil (this is an aunt in the 'old female relative whose real title is too complicated to work out, rather than a sibling of my parents) bought it for me when I was seven and my Dad took me to a match for the first time. Her late husband, my Uncle Clark (see above), had taken my Dad to his first match when he was about my age, and up until his death a couple of years before had been badgering my Dad about keeping the tradition going. Lil herself died not long afterwards ... had she not been ill she would probably have come with us that day as well.

It's one of the few things I still have from my early childhood and represents some of my dearest family memories (it's a bit superstitious, but I try not to ascribe family memories to people who are still alive, if you see what I mean). Plus it's bright red and white, and if I happen to see us lose a game all I have to do is wash and we'll win next time I take it to a match (sometimes. If we're playing crap opposition. Terms and conditions apply).

So what more can you want: family history, childhood memories and a piece of magic synthetic fibre/wool mix. I guarantee it would have Ford Prefect's towel any day :lol:

Even the moonbase!

Very jealous now....

I have a few Herbs, a few Magic Roundabout but no Clangers.

And they are far too expensive to buy now.

Nice to know they have a good home where they are valued though!

hmmm...probably

1) the cats
2) the cup of coffee in front of me
3) my books, especially the copy of 'Falconer's Lure' by Antonia Forest I acquired last year after spending 20 years hunting the bugger down...
4) a silver ring, which I wear on the 3rd finger, left hand, & to which is attached first an invisible leash & then a suitably chastened Mr Rhombus & his well-kicked arse... :twisted:

Ummm - a load of cuddly toy elephants the GF gave and continues to give me as pressies. I love elephants.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
