    Last night coming back from the pub we found a load of fireworks and a bad painting of Audrey Hepburn in the hall of our apartment building.

    Naturally we took these offerings. I don't know what they mean. My hope is my gf lets me blow up the painting. It's kind of weird and the eyes follow you around the room.

    What strange things have you found on the way home?

    So by "found" you mean "stolen" ?

    An inflatable pool ring. We then spent the following hour trying to throw it over a neighbors chimney. This kind of chimney. That was a fun 3AM

    No, the hallway of our apartment building is usually filled with things that people are throwing out. In the past there has been chairs, potted plants, a box full of cassette tapes, various chest of drawers, old electronic equipment. Some of it had been in bad condition and some stuff it's just people have no space for anymore. Someone didn't want the stuff anymore and was throwing it out.

    Last week someone left a foot high china Jemima Puddle Duck at the base of an old lime kiln on our beach. It was there for at least a day then vanished again.

    In the same pottery vein a neighbor had 2 china cats (over a foot tall) left in her garden recently?

    Actually a friends apartment complex was like that. The halls constantly littered with shoite. But one day we walked through and there was one of those old Technics stacked sound systems there. We initially thought it was just there ready to be brought into someones new place. About 2 weeks had gone by and the thing was still sitting there. My friend said fcuk it and decided that he was gonna take it. Went out the following day to take it in and the fcuking thing was gone. Missed opportunity

    Digging the garden in my first house, we found some clothes, a handbag and a human tooth. We stopped digging.

    Perhaps it fell out of a sock full of pool balls that were being used to beat someone to a bloody pulp.

    Why had the boxes got cowboy hats?

    Digging the garden several years ago I found a James II shilling.

    I found a very cool ring years ago, well I thought it was at the time :)

    It was a coin ring, had an eagle atop a swaztika, and on the back of the coin it had 2 thunderbolts, what I now know to be called sig runes.


    Dont know what I did with it. Easy come, easy go , as they say.
