Heartland

my toys,
yes my toys.
I'm looking forward to giving them to my kid (when I have one)

I'm not materialistic at all, exept all my hobby's are verry materialistic.
music, movies, ....

Sisters collection.
Pet lizard.
BC Rich Warlock.
Star Wars figures (they're worth loads!!! )

No sentimental stuff for me!

my clangers collection (complete)
my little frank puppet
my creaming jesus dolly (hand made by andy's g/f)
spiggy the bat (now retired ) used to go to gigs with us
my abba 7" collection
one or two of my sisters cdr's : the rest are replaceable i guess

o yes a real yuppie I am

i know how crap it sounds, but one of my guitars..... and my van too.

As for non "thing" things..

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

Would that be the Parker Fly?

Richie put your choice on the table so everyone can compare and contrast then.

Yup..... predictability follows me like a shadow

Paddy.

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

Sugarlump studio from Grenwich Market

6 years worth of collecting last bit was the moonbase for a major present

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!

Show us yer planks then...

Sisters collection..... the first proper guitar I ever got... some personal memories... a particular first edition of a book that I got from the author itself... the way I feel sometimes when I wake up next to the missus..... stroke her... get into the shower ... and on the way in realise that I am an advertisement board for Von and co...(tat wise that is)...

Does that make me sad? It probably does... but who gives a flying f*ck?;-)

Moving swiftly along...

Ok the clothes my mom died in and my late father's pillow.
I keep them in seperate plastic boxes.
I can smell them when ever I miss them.

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...

Ummm - a load of cuddly toy elephants the GF gave and continues to give me as pressies. I love elephants.
