Collections Page 5

I used to collect DVD/VHS. But then I moved house and realised all that crap was baggage. I don't own that much stuff anymore. Which is weird but nice weird.

:( I have kept my 'protect and survive' I have put it under the settee with a bottle of water and a tin of beans.

VHS collections would definitely be baggage. They am huge things.

I wrote a novel about moving to Russia in case of nuclear war

"Defect and survive"

I have moved so many times I have lost many collections of things downsizing :( :(
Now Ive started a collection of bookmarks. Also slightly obsessed with books and if I like 1 author I then want to collect all that author has. I don't have a great collection just 6 large boxes of books waiting for a bookshelf. :)

So many things Id want to collect but can't through cost and room.

I collect in-flight safety cards. So far I only have about a dozen though.

There have been some superb ones from short-lived Indonesian airlines, advising passengers to pray that the plane doesn't crash.

Just as an off topic aside to that, I quite enjoy a quick read of the airlines banned from EU airspace !

Sad I know but here is a picture (including a bit of my green attic carpet and a bit of my feet!)

Excuse the shit quality, it was taken on my iPad in bad light.

I know this is going to confirm my candidacy for the next rampaging gun loony after my air-gun slug query......................... :P

Latest additions to my nostalgia/trying to recover my childhood trip - an original 1950s cap pistol in Near Mint condition, and I have to say I am absolutely over the moon with it. Few tiny surface scratches on the barrel and handle, but otherwise Immaculate! Been going round the garden and house killin' them baddies and pesky injuns! God, that takes me back.
Been trying to buy a decent one for nearly two years, but they mostly come with the plating well worn off, through over use or left out in the garden.
Also, as you can see bought a cap bomb, but not sure how original that is, but there again the modern ones are usually plastic, and it's great that someone still produces the paper strips of caps.

So, now need to buy another display cabinet as this one is overflowing - the blue/yellow Transcontinental engine for example, I have the four matching coaches to go with it, and what I want to do is link the two cabinets together and then create a "tunnel" along the bottom shelf as the Transcontinental train is too long for the one cabinet.

Image

Most of these are what I had as a young sprog, but the others, such as the Britannia loco at top left and Transcontinental diesel bottom right, were way out of my price bracket - THEN.
Also, the photos of my first car, a Mk1 Ford Consul EOTA type, and thank God I kept the driver's manual you can see at the back. The model is a Corgi, that I sprayed black, fitted an aerial and made silver foil hub caps just as my original car was.

Paper caps smell great.
