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?

So, so many thingsFrom Leonardo DaVinci's house: A conker that fell from a great height onto my head as I was having my picture taken with my exchange student's family. Sadly I never got a copy of that pic, in which I'm looking stunned and bleeding.
From the Gulf War (Like, the original one): My dad's terms of engagement card which he was given with his weapon. It has the phonetic arabic for 'Stop or I'll shoot!' on it (Kif awo sa, utlig al nar, I believe), pictures of all the animals he found in his boots in the morning and a random cuddly camel.
From a Hundred Reasons gig on wednesday: Colin Doran's water bottle. There was still some in it which I would have drunk, had it not been Nestle. So i drunkenly poured it on my cactus. Lucky Horace, fed on the spit of rock stars. Also a random pick.
A B-reg Vauxhall Nova. I'm keeping it out of nostalgia, not because I can't afford anything better. Really...
