Me and the lads used to get stoned on Hash and shoot at stuff with it. The gun cost me about $50 and a bag of about 200 bullets cost $5. We never fired at any animals or hurt anyone and it gave me piece of mind to have with me on site as Pakistan can be a very dangerous place but thankfully it never came to that. You can buy anything like that out there such as handguns, anti tank rockets and grenades. All surplus stock. It was great fun although it had a very heavy kick to it, ask any bloke out there if they'd like a go on one and I bet you they'd jump at the chance.

I would have said my ipod until it stopped charging properly the other weekend. Still, I have had it for two and a half years, maybe time to upgrade.


I guess my hi-fi I have had for about 10 years, bought with my first bonus at work - wasn't mega expensive, but not exactly cheap either, and I still enjoy it.

My estate car, bought 10 years ago and will hopefully still be going in 10 years time. When I wake up to find a scratch down the side, or a chip in the bumper - it doesn't ruin my day. I can park it anywhere and be fairly sure that nobody will bother stealing it. Can fit an entire band backline in it, or a wardrobe, fridge/freezer, even a small sofa.

One of many answers....


Possibly a strange answer but Disintegration CD by The Cure. Even though it's not my 'favourite' album, or the best I own if you ask me either question it's the one that gets played the most.


Or...


Tickets to see The Sisterhood at The Electric Ballroom. They turned into The Mission half way through.


Or...


R790 FBJ, a 900 Diversion. I loved that bike.

I knew this thread would get very materialistic. Surely the true joys in life are the crunch of frosted leaves on a crisp sunny Autumn morning? The joys of a tasty, but simple meal with good friends? The Guardian (for most of you) on a Saturday morning...


No bollocks to that!


So here's some more:


- Guitars! - the tobacco sunburst Fender '62 reissue I bought from a very kind Scotsman on this forum

- My new Oliver Sweeney boots with the chunky soles

- A glass lemon juicer from 1930's that was handed down from my great grandma and squeezes lemons so well it makes me happy

- The very last Smiths album

- David Carnells boxer shorts - which are still in my spare room

    • Well that is good news… alternative would have been homeless or private.
    • I was lucky that I received a student grant from 1990-1995 first 3 years for degree and 2 years post graduate bursary. Both were based on my income and I did not have to pay back. Eldest daughter got student loan and after 20 years managed to pay it off, Youngest daughter still paying hers 18 years later. Granddaughter - still paying after 6 years. Grandson decided against FE and secured an apprentenship. I am glad that I am an old codger and not young anymore !

    • It is not only Southwark - our grandson, partner and 7 year old had a one bed council flat for years in Harlow Essex and all the properties offered were in poor condition. They eventually took a property as if they refused another one they would drop to the bottom of the Housing List. It was damp and in need of a level of renovation. Having lived in these conditions for a while they were offered better council accommodation recently, but further away from child's school. They had to pay 2 lots of rent for a few weeks as council had to undertake work in the new premises before they could move in,
