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.

try it, without the permanency:Walk away from everything with 2 changes of clothes. And a spork, because sporks are useful. Travel like that, cut off from telecommunications like email and mobile. It's perfectly do-able, and it is extremely liberating. We're more than the things that we own. But yeah, I came back to my things.
Without getting into too much wanky bollix, I used to think we're defined by what we'd acquired and what we'd achieved. Now I think it's by what we do.
I like having my possessions around me, but I know I would be fine without them.
Volunteering? Sure, but I'd want financial compensation. I'm not that bloody worthy.
