My Precioussss!

Pub Talk again.
Which one item ,that you own is your most precious?.If your house was on fire which one thing would you save . Would you run back in to save it?

Some of the answers that came up were :Ipod , Mobile phone , wallet, divorce papers(apparently happiest moment of his life), autographed football shirt , laptop , wedding album ,used condom collection (i am hoping this one was a joke). One said he would die to save his dog(not sure if its an item).

For me it was my mobile , boring i know but have to much info/photos on it and its not copied.

As many photos as I could carry after that the rest can burn because it's all replaceable.

Can't understand anyone who would go back for a phone tbh. I feckin' hate mine as it is & often put it on silent or switch it off for some peace.

minidazzler · 26-03-2010 4:34pm

Why not back up those photo's and info?

I guess my computer, my wallet is constantly with me, so that doesn't even count, ditto my phone.

So, either my computer or my sister I guess...tough choice.

My Fiancee. The laptop and mobile can smolder away as far as im concerned. Thats what off-site backups are for.

AnonoBoy · 26-03-2010 4:34pm

My Johnson.

No wait. My wolf jumper.

SadieSue · 26-03-2010 4:34pm

My passport and birth certificate. Would be a pain in the gowl to replace those!

JimmyCrackCorn · 26-03-2010 4:35pm

ur ma!

My guitar. Never play it anymore but it's the most expensive thing I own. That or my new camera, cos it's new and also expensive.

Tea_Bag · 26-03-2010 4:36pm

My passport. They're hard to come by these days, specially on short notice..

My Computer, it has years of family photos, videos and important documents that are irreplaceable.

kalie · 26-03-2010 4:38pm

Husband, Dog or photo album.... hmmm
It would have to be the photo album.
Dogs smart enough to get herself out and it'd be more fun wathing him try to jump out a window

ToniTuddle · 26-03-2010 4:38pm

The drawers that contain my underwear.
Spent waaaay too much money on it all to loose it now!

yoyo · 26-03-2010 4:38pm

My computer

Nick

Lux23 · 26-03-2010 4:39pm

Handbag normally contains all my wallet, make up, keys, IPOD so I would just grab that.

If he was a regular he would have spelt it "Yore MA" but he probably still would have said it.

landsleaving · 26-03-2010 4:41pm

My computer... I should really back up all my college stuff. Although I'd more than likely have the backup in the house as well... so I'd probably just cut my losses and take one of my guitars.

One_Armed_Dwarf · 26-03-2010 4:42pm

Boxset of "The Wire"

......or my love eggs

Yep I really need to back up my college stuff too! So I'd take my laptop

No, no it didnt.

Id grab external hard drive (all my work on it), wallet, phone, the missus. In that order.

Oh and minidazzler's sister

ScumLord · 26-03-2010 4:48pm

My weed, I'd probably die trying to find my lighter though.

Get with the times! A lot of people's photo albums these days are their phones ot their computers!

Especially if you are lazy like me and dont back them up anywhere, never mind print them out.

Yeah but photographs that were taken of me & the family back in the day are hard to replace.
Yes I could scan & save them but that's a lot of effort.
I plan to wait until my niece is old enough to do it & I'll bribe her with a €20 to copy them all!

nucking futs · 26-03-2010 5:00pm

PS3 to be honest

TPD · 26-03-2010 5:13pm

Probably one of my external hard drives, lots of stuff backed up on them. Passport situation should be sorted by the time I want to leave the country, so I could leave that.

Also wouldn't mind a good excuse for a new computer :pac:

perri winkles · 26-03-2010 5:18pm

My two dogs. They're small so can count as one item.

I guess pictures too

OutlawPete · 26-03-2010 5:19pm

I have a little box full of Dad's things.

His last diary, his father's pipe (which he carved the date in when his Dad died), tons of really old photos, birthday cards he gave me etc etc

So, seen as that's only thing I own that is irreplaceable, it would have to be that.

Dravokivich · 26-03-2010 5:20pm

my Mary Harney Bikini Calander...

You have to pick one. Which one will you let burn?

You can get a firebox, if you put it in a fairly empty ground room it should be enough to save stuff like that. They only protect from flame really (the heat could still combust paper inside) that's why it has to be left in a place that won't suffer much intense heat..
