Obscure MemorabiliaAt home my other half has a broken piece of a piano. Just a single hammer from a broken piano. And yet this twisted bit of wood and metal is a piece from the piano that they flung in the TV series Northern Exposure. We've also got some gardening tools from the first series of Big Brother.
What wierd stuff do you own that has a history?

The Top Rated Racehorse of 2000 was calledDubai Millennuim, and he went to stud at £100,000 a pop. I sent away for the glossy stallion brochure complete with CD Rom and DVD of all his wins, set in a lavish book promoting him as a stallion. Each page has a quote from various racing folk and a big shiny photo on the opposite page, Sheik Mohammad spared no expense. The back page has all the details of how to get in contact to see if your filthy minx of a mare is good enough to have him give her a right good bit of rumpty.
He then decided to die, after a few months at stud, and whilst you can get all sorts on Dubai Millennium on Ebay, I have never seen one of these huge Stallion Brochures yet
Ps his son "Dubawi" is favourite already for 2005 Derby
