Most obscure memorabilia I owned...
..was an electric oven that used to belong to a bloke called George who was a "ghost writer" (not ghost stories, but paid to author books then sold as written by someone else). He wrote several of Barbara Cartlands novels which I assured him were as crap as the rest.
I don't own the oven anymore, but am happy to post the street address in Stoke Mandeville - it may still be there, but I wouldn't want you to waste a journey so you might like to write to the householder first.

Umm, that's it. I led a wild life.

My grandad used to make props for Dr. Who...
Don't have much left, but when my mum was growing up she had one of the original tardises in her room.

Oh, and a mate of mine has a set of the sliding doors from the last star wars movie.

I had a few guineapigs living in an "open" pen
They were eaten by rats. Dude, those were HUGE guineapigs too. A while later I moved the hutch. There was half a guineapig. Well, there was fur and bones - what the rats hadn't taken the maggots had. I kept the skull.

That is my piece of memorabelia relating to my huge guineapigs. Cool, huh? I have no camera. I shall put it in my scanner. Here:

shit, but you get the idea.

It sits atop my cd player where all my guests can see it clearly and ask if it is real.

Hmm, lets see what I've got
I have a plectrum from Fear factory, just before they split. Another from Linear77, just before they split. I think I'll stop collecting plectrums! I have Richard Whitelys autograph. Oooo, and my friend has a tigger bag that touched Casey Chaos and been spit roasted by Ed Byrne and me.

My sister has a set list from a space gig.

Now this really is obscure
I own a metal adapter plate from a turbo trainer (A roller device designed to turn a cycle into an exercise bike) The purpose of this adapter was to allow a smaller wheel size to be used. The turbo trainer and adapter were both previously owned by Warwick Davis, who recently appeared as Professor Flitwick in the first two Harry Potter films. It takes pride of place in a draw in my shed.

Car bits and other guff
I still have the radiator badge from a Rolls Royce after I did a weeks work experience on the factory floor as a lad. I also have a plastic colour changing spoon whose origin now escapes me but may have been cereal-related. I think I still have a glow in the dark whistle from One Nation first birthday party at the Rocket, north London in about 1995. My bestest weird thing is a piece of red string a Cambodian kid taught me magic tricks with on Sihanoukville beach.

Saddam Hussein took my gran out to dinner once
she was a reporter during the Iran/Iraq war, see.

Among other things, he gave her a cool watch with his face on it. I'd like to say I've got it now, but I don't know what happened to it. Oh well.

Another one
A few years ago David Soul moved to my village briefly. None of the teenage girls had ever heard of him but, prompted by their mothers who were to embarrased to do it themselves, they all went and got his autograph and pretended to be really excited.
Now I come to think of it, I think my sister threw hers away actually.

Sean Biggerstaff (teehee)
Iworked as a waitress in a hotel two years or so ago, and one night we were catering for the dinner section of the Scottish Baftas. We'd been told that there wouldn't be anyone famous there, which was a blatant lie to keep everyone calm, and was blown open by me after I had the foresight to go round checking the name cards on the tables. I managed to work everyone (everyone female that is) into a frenzy by discovering Sean Biggerstaff's name at one of the tables. (Sean is Oliver Wood from the Harry Potter movies if you don't know, a good Glasgow boy as well as reasonably hot.) I wasn't serving at that table and I didn't manage to snag the actual name card, but I did get the piece of card with the table number on though. That's a very long story for such a sad act...

here we go.
My family has been taking trips to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for the past 16 years. Lovely place. There's an old hunting club from the 20s called the Whalehead Club. It was refurbished a few years ago and they sold off bits and pieces they scrapped. I have four of the original copper shingles off the roof.

I also have a pair of 3D glasses from the muppets thing in Disneyworld. I went there with the music department my senior year of high school (2 years ago). The guys I was with loaded their backpack with as many glasses as they could fit. I settled for one pair. I also have a scrap of newspaper that reads 'Magic' residing in a bag I bought on that trip. I remember the relevance of the word, but not where the paper came from.

I also have a coin from that big ol treasure filled cave from Pirates of the Caribbean, a napkin dispenser from Friendly's, and an employee nametag from Brigham's (just like Friendly's only New England-specific) that reads 'Mrs. Up the Butt'. A Sex in the City reference, I believe.

I made a bid on the bloated albino stomach Alan Cummings wore in Josey and the Pussycats when it was up on ebay, but alas, I was outdone.

A friend of mine owns a glass drunk from by Dominic Monaghan at an Oscar party.

um not memorabilia but anyway..
I discovered a small silvery looking gun (empty thank heavens) in my little sisters bedroom when she was 7. A small boy admirer had given it to her!
It was her most prized possession (lost in the various moves since then).
Never told our parents though.

I have a Nutrigrain bar I was thrown at an Offspring concert. Bloody thing stinks now, yet I can't bring myself to throw it away.

Also, I have a peg that was worn on the face of Gary Stretch, the world record holder for pegs on face madness. Oh, and it's signed. I met him and he let me pull the loose skin on his stomach. Best day ever.

Got a few I can think of
I have a signed postcard from Ewan Macintyre (or however its spelled), the large fellow that plays Keith in The Office, as he came to our students union a few weeks back. By the time it came for me to meet him I was absolutely hammered and called him "Fatty fatty toad boy" in the style of David Brent (or more probably the style of Rab C Nesbitt the amount I'd had to drink), and he signed my postcard and said "There ya go, now fuck off.", which I found quite funny.

I have a little scrap of paper signed by all of The Offspring from when I met them at Reading Festival this year, and when I was taking a picture of a few of my mates with them I looked at the girl stood next to me and said "God, they've not aged well have they?" - turned out to be their PR girl!

Also best drunken steal has to be the set of temporary traffic lights sat in my bedroom back home, had to make two trips to steal the bastards, one for the light bit and the other for the stand, but luckily it was only about 150m from my house. My mother demanded I got rid of them before I came to Uni, but I didn't and when I went home a few weeks later they were still there, I asked her why she hadn't got rid of them, she said because they were too heavy and she was afraid of being caught carring some traffic lights around in the middle of the night, especially as shes the treasurer for our local church!

I found out what it was in the morning.....
I woke up, STILL drunk in the early hours of the afternoon, and found thatI was cuddling a small and strange electrical device. It rather looked like a spinning top, but kinda transparent, and with a set of connectors on the bottom.

I still have it.

My housemates and I used to toddle around Huddersfield on the way back from our favourite pub, and "nominate" beer trophies for each other (which we had to aquire on teh way home). So accustomd to this habit we were, that we used to carry little adjustable spanners with us.

I have fond memories of watching one of us tackle a traffic bollard repeatedly trying to detatch it from the ground.... unaware that a paddy-waggon was watching him. Hilarious.

Anyway....

One of the Gusset-Sniffing Crotch-Monkeys had taken advantage of my beer-fuelled Bravado, and said I had to get a light-sensor from the top of a street lamp... And I'd done it.

I didn't remember getting the sod, so asked them o show me where I got it.. daylight, no lights on, and they pointed out one in particular... come night time, it was the only light that was unlit. Do you KNOW how high those bastards ARE??? Jeeez... I'd have been squished good and propper if I'd have fallen off.. there's a 2 meter horizontal bit at the top that I must have climbed along. and it's a fekking MILE away from the ground.

Irresponsible Cnuts.

No apologies for length at all.... I could have DIED so you're gonna bloody Listen to me rant about it.
Still got the winning trophy didn't I !!

hmm.... rather long innit?
