What's the point in having the second part when you also have the first?

A VCR player :cool:

Gun from the 1798 rising. A couple of wooden trunks that went off to America with old old relations in early 1900s, then returned home again.
A couple of weird hidden cubbys in a 150 yr old house that I've never fully explored. Giant wooden fork and spoon that I found just inside said cubbys.
(I'm serious, I can provide photos!!)
Bengal cat that likes to murder things.

oh I forgot about the dutch lace tablecloths that survived a Japanese prisoner of war camp. My uncle by marriage gave them to me. They had been his grandmother's and mother's but he has no children so I got them.

Also our family christening gown that my great-great-grandmother hand made in lace for my great-grandmother's christening. Everyone in my mums family was baptised in it, including my 2 sons.

A bit of Derek Trotters shirt from Only Fools & Horses

A replica of a medieval Irish helmet

also old newspapers, some cuttings from the early 80's and full newspapers from when Derry won All-Ireland in 1993

A signed picture of Rory Gallagher is about the coolest thing I own....other than that, there's a teddy Duck, when you grab him by the neck he starts going grazy, kicking his legs and squawking

Passed on through the family and that's the story that goes with it, was used in a commemoration in 1998 at the 200 year mark. Rebel spots all around here n history though, Ballinamuck isn't too far away. I really should bring it to be looked at somewhere. I know nothing about guns, all I can tell you is that it's one of the ones the gunpowder had to be pushed down a wee nozzle/pipe sort of thing. :pac:

Sir Arthur Daley · 14-05-2014 01:44AM

A Wurlitzer jukebox, a few guns and chainsaws.

A resourceful person would have both in the didgeridoo.

That's just needless extravagance.

An elevator from the basement to the ground floor, a laundry shoot from ground floor to the laundry room in the basement, a garbage shoot that you can select whether you want the trash to go into the garbage bin or the recycle bin from the kitchen (on the ground floor) to a specially made metal casing outside on the basement level.

An antique linen closet, a 1950's frigidaire and a signed platinum double disk of The Hot House Flowers "Go" album.

Not much you can rob bar the album coz other stuff are either fixtures or too heavy.

Serious house envy here! The motorcycles do nothing for me but this all sounds amazing. You can keep the copy of 'Go' though :-)

I'll share a few things, I collect knick knacks that I pick up on holidays or Fleabay and adverts for a song

The first is a seven spouted tea pot that I bought while backpacking in Iran some years back. If I ever have seven guests over and they all ask for tea then I know I've got just the right tool for the job

Someday I'll get use out of it to make up for all the time spent dusting it !

The second is a melting clock I got on Fleabay for a whole five pounds. I love it as it comes from a painting called the Persistence of Memory by one of my fav artists Salvador Dali. Pink Floyd also used melting clocks in their light shows on the Wall.

danniemcq · 14-05-2014 02:12PM

That clock looks class! I'm guessing it doesn't hang off a wall wile well?

Muahahaha · 14-05-2014 02:16PM

Stupid boards isn't letting me post more than one pic at a time, here's the melting clock, bargain for a fiver !

Muahahaha · 14-05-2014 02:18PM

A wall pic of Ireland made up entirely of the place names with cities and bigger towns getting a larger sized font

MrVestek · 14-05-2014 02:20PM

I built my own arcade machine... So there's that.

Muahahaha · 14-05-2014 02:21PM

I collect banknotes from around the world too, have some 400 odd in the collection but have yet to figure out a good way to display them all, I think I need bigger walls! One of my favourites is this one, it is a Hundred Trilliom Dollar banknote issued by the Bank of Zimbabwe. I bought 10 of them on ebay for £8 and for a few years I used to put them into birthday cards of family and friends :pac:

Hmm. I have a replica Winchester 1894:

An accordion is the only thing of value that I own. Oh, and an expensive fancy chef/cooking knife. I don't have a laptop, speakers, a bicycle, etc... It's kind of nice I guess?

Muahahaha · 14-05-2014 02:28PM

And lastly my snowboard shelf, I'd covered hundreds probably thousands of kilometers on that snowboard across many different countries so for me it is of extreme sentimental value as I've literally spent some of the best days on my life on that snowboard. I wanted to keep it after it's life was up and thought about putting steel legs on it and making a long bench from it. But I'd no need or space for that so instead I bought some brackets and led lights from ikea and made a cheap shelf out of it.

Muahahaha · 14-05-2014 02:29PM

Different angle

Kovu · 14-05-2014 02:29PM

Oh I'd forgotten about these as well - http://i.imgur.com/nNP0a7o.jpg

Got them for my brother in Budapest.
