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 hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
