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.

@ MistaspakkamanI'm sure I've mentioned this before and someone questioned the reference...I've found it now...
Sartre talks about this idea of being dead and forgotten (annihilated) once everyone has forgotten you....
"Those dead who have not been able to be saved and transported to the boundaries of the concrete past of a survivor are not past; they along with their pasts are annihilated." Being and Nothingness, J-P Sartre, 1943
So once everyone who remembers you has died it's almost as if you never existed.
