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've got ....... a cocktail stirrer that looks like a hula girl that i nicked from the set of a movie in Phnom Penh, Cambodia!
Who's bar? Gerard Depardieu's bar! (in the movie that is).
Whose movie? Matt Dillon's movie! ooooooh!
I've also got a fluorescent mask signed by Ken Kesey (Merry Prankster and writer of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest)
Oh... and a broken gas mask from Israel that they used when Saddam chucked scuds at them in '91.
nearly forgot!... a tiny piece of marble that fell out of the ceiling of the Taj Mahal, right at my feet... looked up, looked down again, looked around, no-one noticed... in my pocket it went!!!
two small pieces of pottery that were lying on the ground at a 10th century temple in Laos (which has probably cursed my for life!)
a wrist-string given to me by the Dalai Lama (which might just lift the curse?)
