[Misc] What is your most prized possession?

[BN9 BHA]

My grandads old blow lamp and a WW2 German bayonet found in my dad's garden (air-raid shelter)

Love the old blow lamp, it’s great that you are a third generation plumber in your family.

Thanks for your concern, I’ll see how I get on today but I am prone to binge drinking and general overindulgence, not getting enough sleep and generally worrying myself sick over whether the boy will make the cut for the Ajax tickets. I shall be watching myself like a hawk. Thanks again.

Seriously mate go to the doctor and have tests if this continues.
I had very bad stomach pains at night about 4 years back, I was fine a few days later, for a few months in a row the same would happen.
I had tests, then went to hospital for more tests and a minor op, been fine since.
Hope you feel better now.

Strat outnumbered by Teles is just wrong sorry. Strats are always slutty sexy whilst Teles are the sensible plain sister!

STrats are for show off's, Tele's make memorable music.

The best guitarists use Gibsons anyway.

They arent worth much I wouldn't think, but these two signed film cells from Kenny Baker (R2D2) & Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett) take pride of place at my desk, & mean a lot to me as a huge Star Wars fan...especially as neither of them are with us anymore.

My Grandmother left me a John Butterly from Horsham grandmother cottage clock from around 1720 or something, still works and has the original blown glass, my gran used to keep her gin in the cabinet.

Fender Japanese 52 reissue. Not this exact one, but very similar. Played terribly, but I would be disappointed to let it go.

Probably my stereo Hi-Fi stacking system. its not the newest or most expensive but its exactly what I want and the sound is perfect for my music and ears. it took years to build with lots of demos, upgrades etc but really happy with sound.

Audiolab 8200CDQ
Audiolab 8000P Poweramp
Keff LS50 Speakers on weighted stands sat on Granite slabs - cant remember the make of stands
Chord Chameleon II interconnects
Chord Odyssey II cables

Thorens TD 318 with Shure Cartridge and Project Phono Box II - although this bit is just a bit of fun on the side

No way should that play terribly.
DM me if you'd like a set-up recommendation
Edit
Or do you mean you play it terribly?..

But one of my faves uses both! A complete slut of an ESP super strat and the legendary 59 burst' Greenie '

My family.

I don't think you can see a family as a 'possession', but I'm guessing you just slightly misunderstood the thread.

But I know what you mean. My most treasured possessions are all the old photos/videos of my family, especially the ones of those no longer with us and all the ones with the children growing up. They are priceless and irreplaceable, everything else I own is just 'stuff'.

 

[Insel affe]

This is an album purchase purely for myself, the most I ever spent on a record at the time £75.00 in 1993
Now worth about £300.00 as in mint condition.
never played it either, as I am scared of damaging it.

Tricky to play marbles with poor eyesight

It was always going to be your chosen reply or something along the lines of ‘I always thought marbles resembled eyeballs.’
