    Do you collect anything?
    Some people collect coins, stamps, comics,action figures, dvds, fridge magnets. I collect boardgames ,books ,dvds .
    Used to collect empty beer bottles (only collected beers I had drank)until I reached 400 + and the wife wanted the box room back. Also collected pub furniture at one stage,but ended up giving it back,or to charity.:o

    Anyone collect anything strange? , chewing gum wrappers?,used condoms?,lamp shades?,diseases?.

    Mugs. It's a small but growing collection but each is from an event/place/whatever that has a great memory attached to it.

    I collect Zippos.

    Also, I don't necessarily collect playing cards/gambling related things but if I see something that I like, with regards to playing cards, I'll buy it. I guess I have a small collection, but I don't "collect" them per-se.

    I've a small collection of old pharmacy/medicine and Irish brewers bottles. It's all in the attic and I haven't bought any in over two years though, so I don't think I could consider myself to be a collector.

    I get a programme from every theatre show I go to so I suppose that's a collection. My friends brother had a wall in his bedroom entirely covered in beer mats.

    I really like the various designs on €2 coins, especially the really rare ones. I got one of those new Irish ones last week and wanted to keep it. I can't afford to collect them though so I reluctantly spent it :rolleyes::(
