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?

Switch CardLosing it once would be fine, acceptable even. I may get these out of order, but I think it went something like this. At a festival, jumping around, bumbag (nerdy but oh so practical when your only non-jeans and nice and cool on a hot summers day trousers come with tiny rubbish pockets) is slightly open. Kiss £75 oroton wallet goodbye - farewell gift from mates in Oz. Luckily, I'm paranoid so cash was in separate pouch of bumbag. Get new switch. Go to club. In new trousers with silly vertical zippy pockets. Wallet falls out in cab rank on way home when go for fags. Get new switch. Go clubbing again, sensible trousers, decide wallets are bad. So stick switch card into cellophane wrapper of fag packet. Smoke like chimney, bin empty packet (despite REMEMBER SWITCH CARD'S IN FAGS written on the back of both hands). Get new switch. Quit smoking. Go to Prague. Get mugged. Get new switch. Forget pin when using 'I'll eat your card' cashpoint. Get new switch. All in the space of about 4 months. I think I've forgotten a couple. I'm was up to issue 7. This one was in danger of actually running out, but now they sent me chip'n'pin one. Damn their eyes.
