Stuff I've foundFreddy Woo writes, "My non-prostitute-killing, lorry driving uncle once came home with a wedding cake. Found it in a layby, scoffed the lot over several weeks."

The stick of power. And a whole new world.1. The Stick of power.
Wending my way home from the pub I chanced upon a pickaxe handle lying in the road. Since I was having trouble with the office photocopier - it hated me, bastard - I thought I'd found the perfect photocopier-menacing implement.
18 Years later and I still have it. I've used it as a lever, a hammer, a measuring stick and as a substitute for a Flying V when the Priest albums are on and the urge to rock out is strong. It also persuaded an aggrieved ex-flatmate to stop trying to kick my door down.
2. A comic
Nothing special: - An issue of the Fantastic Four lying on the grass on my way home from the YTS. I'd grown up with 2000AD obviously but hadn't bothered with Marvel stuff so this was something new.
Anyway, picked it up, took it home and read it then wondered "What happens next". Fatal. That's where I discovered my liking for comics; which eventually led me into manga and anime and Buffy and general SF geekery.
I like to think my future self came back in time specifically to drop it off and stop me growing up to be a train-spotter.
Off topic: My block of flats has three floors. So how come the washroom block has four sets of windows. What's up there? I'm hoping for saleable antiques but I'd settle for porn.
