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.

CanvasMy most treasured possession is an oil painting of me in the buff. It was done some 12 years ago and was thrown in for free (the cheek!) when I purchsed my housemate's nude likeness for £20 from the guy who ran the life painting class that we both sat at.
It should embarass my grandchildren in years to come- but most importantly I know that the other painting I bought in the "deal" is now hung pride of place in her parent's house- when she had hidden it for a couple of years for fear of what they might say. She sadly died of bowel cancer at the age of 23. And what was "our" little secret in terms of taking our kit off for some extra cash as students and something I bought as a pisstake on her 21st is now something that is adored and on her parent's wall. It made for an interesting confession at the wake but I know that it was appreciated in the end.
