This is a question My Collection

Do you have display cabinets full of stuff? With it all neatly labelled, cross-referenced and entered into a database. Have you been to a convention? Do other collectors look up to you in awe?

I thought I was above this one. I'm not that autistically geeky that I have a Collection with a capital C. But no, I remembered I'm hoarding away every version of "Inside Macintosh" ever published.

What do you collect? And why? I mean, what makes you do it?

Smartie Lids
When I was about 14 until the age of 19 I kept the lids off tubes of smarties. I kept them in a little tin, and green ones were my favourite. You used to be able to "shoot" people with them if you squashed the tube fast enough, sort of like an extremely pathetic air gun.

Note that I didn't consider myself a weirdo at this point, and that I've just thrown out shitloads of stuff that I've been hoarding over the years so that I can make my flat all nice, ready for selling.

I notice nowadays that they've binned the lids and have a stupid cardboard enclosure now. Spoilsports.

Obligatory knob gag.
