Do you still own anything from your childhood ?

[Audio Al]

About the only thing I still have is 5 Observer books

Railway Locomotives
Birds
Postage stamps
Sea fish
Butterflys

Also a pair of hand beaten copper ashtrays I made for my mum ( RIP 2003 )

What do you have ? :)

I'm a terrible hoarder - I've got loads of stuff, my teddy (Sooty, though he looks nothing like the famous Sooty!) boxes of Matchbox/Corgi/Dinky etc. toy cars - loads of Lego, though that's all now integrated into what my kids play with. I've still got my Scouts uniform - but I'm only allowed to dress up in it for very special occasions! :D (He lies, oh that it would still fit!) Loads more old crap I can't think of I'm sure!

A leather football received on my 10th birthday! Plus the pump to inflate the inner bladder.

[The Black Adder]

Loads of stuff.

Most was going to go on ebay about 10 years ago but I just couldn't do it.

Still got my old school books too. I kept them to remind me how shit school was...

I still have the impression from the laces on my forehead. When it rained the football weighed about 5kg so that kicking it was like kicking a cannonball. It is still in good condition due to liberal applications of dubbin!

Remember kicking one into face of the coach who was also the janitor, form 5 yards. He was smoking at time [emoji23]
When he got up I got dropped

I've still got all the skin I had when I was a nipper.....but it's a bit used. Hair.....mmmm....still some....Faculties.....well you have to have a sense of humour when you look look like an aging twonk:lol:

The only material stuff I have is a scrap book of stuff of when I was "famous" in a world class choir up to the age of 14 when we were feted and treated like royalty. Benjamin Britten chose us to sing a new work he had written to celebrate an anniversary of the Save The Children Fund. This was debuted at The Aldeburgh Festival which was close to BB's home which we had the run of. We sang at many Prom concerts at the Albert Hall, St Pauls Cathedral (in front of the Queen) Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, and many others.

We recorded several works (Carmina Burana, St Matthew Passion, Berlioz Te Deum. Berlioz Requiem) some at BBC studios Maida Vale and Watford Town Hall of all places (good acoustics). Was on telly performing BB's The Golden Vanity for LWT with a full 2 page TV Times spread with your's truly looking..well...err.......young!

Here’s Sooty - as you can see, he is well loved! He normally only comes out of the drawer when I want to scare the kids!

Sadly not - the cells are continually replaced (at different rates), but after 7 years all the cells in your body have been completely replaced.

As for childhood possesions - all I have left is my stamp collection and a few books.

Ah well it smells like it is.

So I'm not the man I used to be :( Like Trigger's broom

Why is it that our cells are always replaced with ones that are more shit and knackered looking?

It's an interesting subject. Look up the 'Hayflick Limit'. I was reading about it yesterday.

I believe there's a live tumour that's been kept going for about seventy years in America, onto which you'd add the age of the victim.
