    So was just cleaning out the crap from my wallet and found a phone number on piece of a beer mat. It looks like its been there a while and the number is not in my phone. Looks like a wasted opportunity:(
    After other nights Ive found other peoples credit cards and pps cards.

    Dont really keep anything weird but Im sure the folks her in AH will have a few strange items:D

    Nothing strange really. I have some useless stuff though. A library card that I haven't used in about 10 years. A HSE drugs payment scheme card that I've never used or even know what it's for. And an AIB bank card from a student account I opened 8 years ago that has €20 in it (+interest :eek: ) but I don't know the pin number.

    Why not ring it? It could be the dry cleaning you forgot to collect.

    I found a micro SD card that I thought I'd lost... I'd bought another one too to replace it. In a shop one day, "oh what's this?" I went menthol. (sp intended) :confused:

    An advertising sticker for the 2007 NUIG musical society production.

    A good friend of mine played the lead and gave me one of the stickers. I put it in my wallet and it's still there.

    It has kinda fused with my wallet though so I'm not sure if I even could remove it.:rolleyes:

    I carry around a picture of a lingerie model that I cut out of a magazine.
    When I'm chatting up women I show it to them and pretend that it's a picture of my dead fiancé.

    A few cinema ticket stubs - the oldest being from 16/07/1999 and was from Star Wars Episode 1, a Dublin to Rome boarding pass stub from Sep 2005, and a ticket from a Florence bus (also 2005).

    Transferred to a new wallet a month ago, after the clearout the only oddness (relative speaking) is a few guitar picks...

    About a year ago I found a random passport photo of a eastern-european looking guy on the ground in Prague. So I stuck it in my wallet for the laugh. I call him Pablo. Its still there, and since then I've collected 2 more, Mary and Lillian. Whenever I open my wallet, someone asks me 'ah who are those people?' And I always have to tell them that I don't actually know them...and they start to back away slowly....I've become obsessed with stranger's passport photos since and my mate and I have a competition to see who can collect the most...:pac:

    Magic beans and IOU from Irish Government


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,438 ✭✭✭TwoShedsJackson


    Someone left their wallet where I work a few years back. When we went through it looking for ID so we could ring the guy and get him to collect it, we found a business card from Combat 18 (the English fascist scumbags), on which someone had handwritten that he was a queer etc. etc. and was going to get what was coming to him blah blah.

    Whether he was the recipient of this or was going to give it to someone else we did not know, he was your normal-looking totally mild mannered guy when he came in to get the wallet.
