Lost...Trying to impress a new girlfriend, I 'borrowed' my mother's car. Dropping her off in London, I managed to lose the car keys between locking it and reaching the other side of the road. Utter humiliation followed as my mum took the train to London with the spare key...
What have you lost over the years?

Couple of thingsWhen I was about 10 years old the while family were out on a skiing holiday. At the top of the mountain, one of my skis came off. But of course they have brakes. Iced up brakes unfortunately as I watched my ski picking up to terminal velocity and heading off down the mountain. Only way to get down was to ski on my boots. Half way down the mountain I find my ski stuck in the snow. "What luck, it must have flown off that jump and landed that way". Yes, I told everyone the story over and over all evening, only as a 10 year old can. Then about 9pm someone said, "Oh, that was your ski was it? Almost killed me, but I managed to stop it." My only story of the day ruined. The shame.
Oh, and I lost my entire dole money once. Was walking back with a crate of beer, and a big smile. Got home, discovered I had no money for two weeks, but had beer. Have a guess what happened next.
