Any other fellow R’s collecting stuff. I started off a few years ago collecting Wisden Cricket almanacs. Have now achieved the full set from 1946 to the present day, and a yellow wall is a big feature on my book case. Now starting to get the war years and then go backwards towards the 1930’s and 1920’s, but that will be a slow process due to the cost of originals. Have some early ones, 1940 and 1934 at the moment and also a facsimile of 1916 which has a 35 page obituary of W G Grace. |  |

Can I talk about my pin badge collection again? 
We tend to pick up a tat fridge magnet everytime we go away somewhere, keeps the fridge looking more interesting than just being a blank machine.
My wife has loads of Beanie babies from when she was a kid too. The plan is for a future child to be able to play with them... |
My wife’s obsession, fridge magnets and Christmas tree decorations!
Everywhere we go, no matter if it’s tat, she’s GOT to have one!
I will forgive her for making me stop in Christmas on the way back from JFK to Orlando (the satnav had a meltdown and wouldn’t let me go back via the freeway!).
If you ever get the chance to visit Downtown Orlando DON’T, it’s a world away from International Drive! | | | |

Collected Marvel , DC comics and 200AD as a kid in the '70'S.
I Was pretty nifty at Art and had a couple of drawings printed in 'Thargs' readers page. For those that remember '2000 AD' Was a petri dish of counter culture Pineal gland expanding graphic Art and story telling spawing the high dojo of mind melting sensei's Alan Moore, Kev O'neil , Dave Gibbons and Brian Bolland who went on to peak sawtoothwaves of fantastical briliance at both Marvel and DC among others.
Pure escapisim beyond the mean mode and median.
That comic popping through the letterbox every friday of our East Ham council concete sobibor flat pack pisshouse illuminated the grey raincoat chickentown existence of late 70's east end london.
I flogged off the Bronze age marvel and DC 70's Comics for £600 back in '96 and bought a couple of 1210 mk 2 turntables with them. Collected vinyl since i was a kid and have to store 90 percent of it in me old Mums Garage in frinton. First record '18 with a bullet' by peter wingfield!!
The only things i collect now are bits and pieces for my bar in the garden.. Latest addition Rodneys 'Save the whales' Charity tin from Only fools and horses i won in an auction. Reproduction not the original .. I by loads of rare beer pump badges and sad midde aged git stuff as well. Got a fantastic Hoffmeister beer tray from the 70's and an original Lowenbrau Beer Towel .. Fu ck me... [Post edited 18 May 2023 17:02]

Maybe you shouldn’t have loaded all the cans of beer in the door shelves?Spread them around a bit. |  | | |

Football mugs/tea cups from the away grounds I went to as a kid till my old man smashed them all up in a rage when I was mis behaving at school.But as an adult adidas trainers are my thing.i love the variety of styles and colours.although cheaper than Nike I find adidas to have a touch of class about them. | | | |

I detest fridge magnets. Anything like that or indeed anything at all appearingon my fridge door and it's going to be destroyed, followed by divorce.
Luckily the wife feels the same way. |  |

Do you have the 50p with the hands of two members of the band Ozric Tentacles on it? This is absolutely true, the 50p with the linked hands was designed in conjunction with the sculptor David Wynne (RIP), who was the father of bassist Roly (RIP) and guitarist and synth player Ed. He based the design on his children's hands.
I used to collect Brooke Bond tea cards and loved swapping duplicates with my mates. My grandad had a big album full of cigarette cards and I used to spend ages thumbing through it. When he sadly died, it was given to me and while I was delighted to be entrusted with the album, I do now shudder to think of the eye-watering number of ciggies my relatives smoked in the course of acquiring all those cards. |
Totally off the subject, but did you know Roly? I knew him when I used to hang out on the Pullens estate in Kennington with my best mate who was the singer of the Thunderdogs. A lovely, but very troubled lad. I once watched him eat an air freshener shaped like a mushroom....
On the subject - and going against the prevailing opinion apparently - I love collecting books. In fact I can't go past a bookshop without buying one. I have several first editions and other rare books, but my most precious book would probably be the 2 volume History of the French Revolution and the Wars published in 1817 that belonged to my great, great, great, great grandfather who was a drummer boy at the Battle of Waterloo. |  |

I didn't know Roly and he had left the band by the time I got into their music but it sounds like his latter days were very sad, followed by a tragic end 😔. RIP Roly. |  |
