My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

Flashback...The night before my incredibly interesting thesis on the intestinal parasites of the Lesser Spotted Dogfish was due in, I was in the computer lab, final draft ready to print, binder ready, all the graphs and illustrations ready, when.........'Beep'. Gone.
Wordstar. Nuff said.

*Shriek of anguish*
*Pointless prodding of random keys*
Backup, backup, found it!
Oh.
*Second shriek of anguish*

*Whimper*
Eleven hours later, after one of the most sweary nights ever recorded in Western History, I had re-typed the whole sodding thing. Thank you, ludicrous amounts of caffiene.
