    I'd feel like I was missing an arm without a watch (even though I'm retired & my times my own) & as I suffer with a goldfish memory these days I rely on my smartphone to remind me about events/appointments etc. & I like being able to 'google' stuff while out & about, has settled many an argument.

    Not one for much jewellery either (other than watches of course & a gold chain that Mum got me) & with you on the 'following' bit, can't understand why people get so worked up about particular sports especially.

    Different strokes..
    only thing i deliberately collected was vinyl. anything else just sort of happened by accident

    And (not entirely related) I have had a lifelong aversion to bodily embelishments, so no tattooos, gold chains, piercings or jewellery of any kind.

    No interest in being a 'follower' either, so I don't get involved in football and other sports, religion, politics, etc (but I do visit audio forums ).

    None the worse for it!
    And you still found thirty eight thousand things to talk about - good on yer!

    I had a go at collecting vintage Webley air pistols, but then realised I couldn't display them without looking like one of those mental survivalists you see on American TV. So I stopped at two, both of which live in a cupboard.

    Records and CD's satisfy my need to collect shit.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
