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?

I wasn't going to say I had this but it seems appropriate now,,When I was at University *sheds a tear in remembrance* I was proudly part of the tournament Paintball team. Doesn't sound like much until I say that we played in Germany, Portugal, France and Crystal Palace in London (we were even on TV!). We came 66 out of 72 in the novice division of the world cup and got the trophy for the second best Universtity team in the UK.
We were the first team in a few years to represent the University on an international level so we naturally won the highest sports award the Union could give us. We went to the ball and were given our certificate by a sports celeb. I got him to sign my certificate even though I had little idea of who he was.
I still have that certificate in my record of achievment, signed by Mr Emlyn Hughes.
May he rest in peace.
I have a photo of him shaking my hand somewhere,,
