Oddest possession...

I know material stuff isn't that important but we all have lots of it.

I suspect I have more than one random odd thing in my flat but I'll start with a pipe cabinet complete with pipes and pipe cleaners circa

War time.

What's the oddest thing you own?

(Mrs ddc... I'm not talking Mr ddc... that's for a different thread).

MAMOBA, miles and miles of bugger all (Aberdeenshire)

I have a noddy weeble I was given a long time ago (I failed a few exams in 6th year) and a friend at the time gave it to me to say never give up.

I still have it now, some 20 odd years on.

I have all sorts of odd stuff knocking around my house. Just in my kitchen I have a giant plastic lobster, a full set of test tubes in a wooden stand, a conical flask and a laboratory pestle and mortar, a 1950's soda siphon, a meat hook and a pair of old police issue handcuffs.

A bit of a long one

Have hanging on my wall a 250 year old wind up clock given to me by my grandmother before she died

After many years in a box at my parents, last Christmas I carried it half way across the world and finally hang it in my house in the uk

Never worked, mechanism would die within 1/2 hour

Last July, as I was working in my office at the top of the house and it starts to ring 11 o'clock and carried on working, ringing the hour and half hour all day,

Rang my parents and yep, it was grandmothers anniversary of her death.

Scared me shitless but also reassuring to know she knows where I am

It just looks it's prettiest in red. I like a solid body guitar in sunburst or black but the only 335 I've played was a red one and I fell a little bit in love.

I have a 'Tat collection' two wall-mounted cases of dreadful tourist toot bought from around the world for less than a fiver.

The idea was to find the most awful thing you could and then they've all been catalogued and labeled like a museum exhibit. Lol

Highlights include:-

* Bright green plastic statue of liberty snow globe

* Osama bin Laden nesting dolls

* teeny Pope John Paul II in half a blue plastic bell

A small bottle of laudanum, Victorian, mounted, framed and labeled in a shadow box outside my bedroom door.

There's a wall of shadow boxes containing various different substances...

Sorry everyone, I've skipped everything while I've been seeing what Diamond Joe remembers next.

I have a pile of Chinese Death Currency: fake notes of high denominations which they use to put in with the deceased.

Apart from that it's clothing, because I don't collect stuff.

I have an Italian Bull leather belt, chosen by selecting the belt in the shop which made the best "thwack" noise.

I've also got a pair of doc martens inlaid with English silk. I didn't even know English silk existed.

The older ones amongst us will recall how cinemas used to have display slides in frames in their entrance lobbies, advertising the current film; I possess a full set of a Walt Disney film from the early 60's. Seemingly, they are worth hundreds of £'s.

I have a set of Transport related magazines from only the early 80's, from Issue #1 onwards, now worth a fortune!

Plus, one of the early Computers, the type you plugged into your TV, with cassettes with various games, programmes etc, all played on the supplied keyboard.

Sell them? No, my nest egg for the future!

I was at a party in LA, a bit d*unk, shooting my mouth off as I sometimes do, this time about American foreign policy in the Middle East for the last 60 years, their support for Israel &c &c &c and if you thought about it you might possibly understand who the 9/11 attacks occurred.

Well that went down like a fart in a space suit :/

The host of the party said, "Stop right there. I've got something for you."

Went away and came back with a package and said "I want you to have this."

I unwrapped brown paper and newspaper and bubble wrap, right down to an A4 clip frame containing grey dust, grit, I dunno.

"I was in New York on the night of the attacks and we went down and past police lines and I collected this out of the air and I want you to have it."

Well that shut me up.

Grisly.

He's kept the piece of glass that lodged itself in his ankle 25 or so years ago that the doc refused to do anything about. It eventually made its way (last year) to the surface for self removal.

Won't Mr ddc feel left out though? I mean glass isn't quite as cool as rocks now is it? Even if it fell out of his ankle... that's in a little category of odd all by itself!

Not necessarily weird but treasured items are a Ghurka Kukri knife that my uncle was given when he fought alongside them in the army. His Para beret when he was in the 2 Para regiment and a hand coloured photo he had done for my grandmother when he was figgting overseas during the Suez crisis. Treasured items as he was like a second father to me and I miss the crazy old dude.
