This is a question My most treasured possession

What's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?

My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.

Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

I don't care if I sound like the most materialistic, tight fisted bastard this week...
...but sod nostalgia.

Yeah I've got a photo of myself and my girlfriend kissing on one of our first dates that lives next to my bed.

Yeah I've got various bits and bobs that remind me of the good times - a sea shell from Camber Sands beach (don't ask - it means a lot to me), a couple of pebbles from Port Wrinkle (Cornwall), a Captain Haddock figurine (all of 3" tall), a crazy half-zombie I christened Nero that sits atop one of my speakers.

Yeah I've got important documents that determine my life - passport, naturalisation certificate, birth certificate, degree certificate, driving license (paper section).

If my room was on fire, would I rescue all these things that characterise who I am? Would I fuck.

I'd head straight for my bag of cymbals (those things are expensive to us decent drummers, and I've got around £1000 worth sitting in my bag), my hifi (£1500ish - and I don't care if it weighs a tonne and is utterly unwieldly - where theres a will theres a way), my laptop and my wallet, then dash out the door and watch my flat burn.

Yeah, I could get them all back on insurance, but who want's to wait that long...?!

A drummer?
Are you ? dont live in the south do you ? I need a funky rock loud lunatic to play the rhythm to "pick up the pieces" by the average white band. however I need to learn the sax part myself but it wont take long.

Interested ?

Drums - they're the best instrument in the world!
Does London count as South?

Let me check out that tune and I'll get back to you!
