My most treasured possession

What'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.

« Go Back

My most treasured possesion are my teeth.
They are one of my few redeeming features and I have teh fear of losing them. Happily they would be in my mouth should a fire start and so would be quick to save.

Not unless
You'd eaten, like, a million chillies or summat.
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 14 May 2008, 19:35, closed)

Hmmmm chillies.
I'd put dried chillies on everything if I could.

Well,
mind you don't set fire to your teeth then.
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 14 May 2008, 19:39, closed)

I'd be more worried about the other end.
This is why I go easy on them.

A wise move
But you could keep the loo roll in the fridge.

Looking a gift horse in the mouth and all that...

If I was on the loo...
My arms wouldn't be able to reach to the fridge. Unless I get one of those small fridges people use to keep their beer in and put it in teh bathroom. Unfortunately my bathroom is too small even for a small fridge.

Ah well!

I wish I had good teeth
Mine are squint, filled, crowned, broken, missing or infected with abscesses despite a lifetime of regular brushing and care. I'd let them burn in a fire, but it might be difficult to extract them first...
(

Difficult
Is there a window in the bathroom? You could hang the loo roll out of it in the winter, in some sort of waterproof bag arrangement.
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 14 May 2008, 19:47, closed)

Hm well, I think I'll just go easy on the chillies.
Safest bet all round.

I'm pretty sure.
If we had a B3ta best teeth competition that I would be in the top 5.

I'm still young
Enough to have OK teeth.

But they're nothing special.

Big-Girls-Teeth!
Oh yeah, and how many other b3ta-teeth (b33th?) have you seen?

Mine have got no fillings at all and are lovely.

@ KAol
We all talk about you when you're not here. In fact, we're really looking forward to tomorrow and Friday when you won't be here to hear what we're saying about you.

*sees pistol*

I, however, only ever say nice things about you, like "that Kaol, he's ever so handsome", and all that jazz.

Anyone old enough to remember Pam Ayres.
Oh I wish I'd looked after my teeth
And spotted the perils beneath
All that sweet sticky food
That I munched and I chewed
Oh I wish I'd looked after my teeth.

Can't remember the rest.
(

girlinthehole, Wed 14 May 2008, 20:03, closed)

Nope!
*shrugs*

Er... I've got a box of teeth actually.
From various animals.

Ooh!
Pam Ayres is doing a gig here in t'autumn.

Shall I tell her what nice teeth you have, just to annoy her?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 14 May 2008, 20:06, closed)

Well you can tell her I'm a fan.
I remember her from my youth and still remember the first line to that poem after all these years.

Give her my regards. : )

Pam Ayres is still alive?
My god, she must be getting on a bit.
(TheWeeWitch hasn't been here much recently .., Wed 14 May 2008, 20:09, closed)

Erm, ok
Will she know who you are?

Or shall I go for the crazy approach? You know - "Hello Mrs Pam Ayres, my mate, who I know off the interweb and have never met, and who has ace teeth, is a big fan of yours, and really liked that poem you did about teeth."
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 14 May 2008, 20:09, closed)

Nah!
She must be only 60 years old or so. She was quite young when I saw her originally.

@Kaol - why doesn't that surprise me. Did you take the teeth when the animals were alive or dead.
(

girlinthehole, Wed 14 May 2008, 20:11, closed)

@HLT
I think the second approach would be best.

This Valpolicella is going down a treat. I may be slurring my spelling shortly.
(

girlinthehole, Wed 14 May 2008, 20:12, closed)

Dead
Every toothed animal I had to dissect for my degree, I took a momento from.

I guess if I killed a person I'd do the same.

It'd be my "thing".

@Big-Girls-Pam-Teeth-Fan
You're not kidding, there wasn't even a second option!

IT's not wine o'clock where I'm sitting

Although I did share some fictional pink fizzy b3tawine with the Wee Witch earlier

*hic*
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 14 May 2008, 20:15, closed)

According to Wikipedia
Pam Ayres is 61.

Which means that she was younger than I am now when she used to be on telly in the '70s. Nothing wrong with that, except that I thought she was old then...
(

@K2K6
I seem to remember her as not being a dedicated follower of fashion and so may have seemed older than her years.

I do, however, remember her cheeky smile and funny poems.

Jeez! I think I may have had one of her books once.

I have some teeth you can have, from back in my archaeology days. Proper old, they are. Not human though (as we had to save those).

Didn't she get her big break
on Opportunity Knocks, or something?

I really should know this. I might have to talk to her.
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 14 May 2008, 20:21, closed)

I'm sure
my mum had a book of hers. She dressed much like Pam Ayres as well. Didn't have the same hair-do though.

I'm not exactly a dedicated follower of fashion either.

I also have a CD of hers on my iPod. In my defence, it's ripped from an original belonging to my boss. I didn't buy it!

@K2K6.....sorry, put wrong name there for a moment.
I'm not exactly a fashionista either. I've dressed like a 14 year old boy since I was a 14 year old girl.

The fashion police have given up arresting me
right now I'm wearing a pair of "ripped off at the knee" jeans masquerading as shorts and a t-shirt I've had since the last century.

I don't look like a boy - big boobs - but I dress like one. I am however getting more girly in my forties. I have a push up bra and blouses.

I feel rather overdressed now
As I am wearing, amongst other things, a posh scarf, very well-cut trousers (so I don't look as wide as I actually am), lots of make-up, and a rather nice linen jacket.

*slaps self for being poncy artsy type*

Thank god for push-up bras. In fact, thank god, and all his angels, cherubim and seraphim, pixies, minions, kittens and wizards, for bras, full stop.

We'll let you off - I have to wear a suit at work. Well, trousers and a jacket, both black. And a black top. I'm in mourning for the loss of my self respect and hopes for the future.

not having to wear a suit to work is a pleasure
particularly as my office is situated amongst financial advisors, accountants and bankers

they must despair of us engineers with our scruffy clothes and crap cars

It's one of the perks.

Normally it's jeans, black t shirt and leather jacket.

Too hot for leather at the moment though.

@HLT
I've actively hated this job for about two years now, but the pay's helluva good and really hard to walk away from. Plus I basically set my own hours (provided I do the right number per week) which works well with the kids etc.

I can do banking, pensions, admin type jobs (even segued into marketing for a while) but really have to start looking for another job while I still have my sanity. Well some of it.

I usually go for a shirt
just to differentiate from being at home

it's the sort of place that a tie begs the question "going for an interview?"

Shorts if the weather is ridiculous.

EDIT - @CHCB - once upon a time I used to read and even sometimes watch television. Now that they've introduced the reply button on qotw my life is no longer my own.

Comes late to the party!
Has everyone gone?

I wanted to talk about teeth and clothes.

It's been a long day....

'Ello sunshine
Sorry to hear about your exam earlier.

Dr. Kaol prescribes you 100CCs of vodka.
(

Cawl, Wed 14 May 2008, 22:22, closed)

Ah, I'll get over it
Time to concentrate on the next two exams now, got a week and a day until the next though.

As for the vodka, I have retreated to proper home now, with parents and the like, and no vodka that I know of. Perhaps some whiskey though. And much wine.

@Penguin
He's not a real doctor!
I am. Though, fair enough, not a medical one. Still, I prescribe some of my valium. Actually, no. I don't want to part with it.

I know
How animals work, and people are animals!

I was going to get a fake medical degree from Russia at one point, but the prison sentence here for that kind of thing is a bit too long.

Can I be a doctor?
I think it would sound good.

How about just some sleep? Or possibly wiring up my ps2 and playing Test Drive late into the night.

Oh the possibilities.

~~edit~~

Why don't you just train as an actual doctor?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 14 May 2008, 22:28, closed)

yeah, Kaol
a gynaecologist.

Money
And I can't do chemistry.
(

Cawl, Wed 14 May 2008, 22:34, closed)

I can't do chemistry either
Or biology for that matter. Would really make a rubbish doctor.

i wouldn't know where anything was meant to be.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 14 May 2008, 22:41, closed)

I love biology
Without it I wouldn't be able to function my meats.

Cawl, Wed 14 May 2008, 22:45, closed)

Hmm
Inuendo?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 14 May 2008, 22:51, closed)

Erm...
No... FACT!
(

Cawl, Wed 14 May 2008, 22:56, closed)

I believe you
Wholeheartedly I do.

I never liked biology.

Physics is the way to go; it's the design-engineer-in-training's friend.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 14 May 2008, 22:59, closed)

I did
Physics A-Level.
I liked the quantum stuff.
(

Cawl, Wed 14 May 2008, 23:02, closed)

Excuse my ignorance
But what does A-levels equate to in Scottish levels?

Higher? Advanced Higher?

I never got to do quantum at higher.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 14 May 2008, 23:04, closed)

Advanced Highers
So like... 18.

I did a radio show about time travel once, that was cool.
(

Cawl, Wed 14 May 2008, 23:09, closed)

My facebook profile
lists my only interest as Time Travel.

Awesome
In 2nd year uni I did a first year physics elective, covered things like doppler effect and all that jazz, and some funky guy who put cats in boxes and killed them.

Or did he?

Nobody knows.

How'd last nights potentially disastrous dinner date go?

evening all
to save me trawling back through threads, can you tell me what colour captain pingu's hat is PoD.

I am expanding the last fwupper to include more peeps. I'm not sure how best to capture Big Girls Blouse in a pictorial format. Suggestions?
(Bazongaloid, Wed 14 May 2008, 23:17, closed)

Disasterously.
She freaked out that I had to keep live insects to feed my lizard.

"can't you give her dead ones"

Silly girl.

You don't need to dumb down Shroedinger for me :p
(

Cawl, Wed 14 May 2008, 23:18, closed)

For you?
Who said I was dumbing it down for you?

Part of me is surprised that isn't how they taught it.

And yes, I surely can. His hat is black, and beanie like, just like mine.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 14 May 2008, 23:20, closed)

Oh...
Am I late? I got a bit held up by another thread...

Would that have been
The thread that involved drinking much of the wine, perchance?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 15 May 2008, 10:17, closed)

Possibly
and a couple more...

Ah well
I was also pretty monumentally late to the party, stupid having to go on trains. Trains should have the internet.

This may interest you; I saw an advert for a 3 foot high remote control Dalek t'other day. Do you have one? Think it would be a wise investment?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 15 May 2008, 10:26, closed)

I have seen them
but I don't have one. Yet. At around £100 a pop, I think I would have my knackers cut off courtesy of the sweary one.

Plus, we are seriously running out of space...
(

Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Thu 15 May 2008, 10:31, closed)

I considered getting one
Just for novelty sake, but space would be the main issue for me.

Moving out of flat over summer = compressing 2 rooms worth of stuff into 1 room.

It may not work.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 15 May 2008, 10:40, closed)

Should have stayed here
Ever since HLT's ghosties have posessed my suit of armour, it's been keeping me up all night with its noisy breakdancing antics. Previously, it only used to scare the bejezus out of my guests but it never made any noise. Hopefully, chickenlady being sick in it will calm them down.

I had to step away from the internet in order to do some work.

Fortunately it took me less than an hour to write the article...if only I could always harness my abilities like that, I'd be bloody poet laureate within the week. As it is my inherent laziness prevents me from doing anything much apart from clicking Reply.
