Collecting
 

I have a fettish (and before you jump on that word...which is acceptable for other than the feeble minded) for model buses.
I collect all models of buses from the old Bedford OB (Fred Kirkham had one) to all the new ones. Ribblesdale Batty Holt and Robinsons from Great Harwood are also featured in my collection, Blackburn Transport,Hyndburn,Burnley-Colne and Nelson,Ribble,Scout and Standerwick,Pendle Bus and Todmorden.
Does anyone else collect anything like this?

Re: Collecting
 

Ive been through phases of collecting all sorts of different things at different times but dont collect anything now ive got my own house because I hate clutter, its bad enough with the boys toys and their thomas collection (but in saying that I do have a half decent dvd collection so I guess that counts :rolleyes:)

Clutter is bad for Feng Shui - hinders circulation of chi
Feng shui - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have lots of crystals and windchimes which clutter things up :D
but I dont regard them as clutter because I consider they have 'purpose'.
I dont have ornaments which don't have some use - no pot dogs :eek:
but several cut glass decanters ;)

Re: Collecting
 

Are they all in use?? ;)


I only have 1 ornament which was a christmas present off my mum n dad, its enough dusting that one lol

Re: Collecting
 

3 out of 5 are in use - 2 for filtered water and 1 for a herbal infusion.
I find that booze keeps better in the bottles it came in.
The 2 empty ones on my window sill 'make rainbows' = useful

Re: Collecting
 

Cant say ive ever noticed, being the classy person that I am and only drinking smart price vodka lol

Re: Collecting
 

In fact Rawtenstall and Haslingden corporation motors where started in the same year - 1907, so if corgi can do rawtenstall then they can do haslingden as well.

They used to sell the models of the buses at the bus depot - in the old colours. Now i dont know if they still sell them now though.

Re: Collecting

I used to collect Dolphin ornaments, had so many that i de cluttered and just saved my favourite ones, have a little dolphin tattoo on my left shoulder and have had the pleasure of swimming with them a few times whilst on holidays in the Caribbean, I also collect things that are Native Indian, I have a 300 year old drum covered in hide which is my most treasured possession

Re: Collecting
 

i used to collect beer mats but then i turned 18 and found it was more fun to throw them like frizbies in the pub:D

i did try collecting bar towels but seen as you could only sew 4 to your jeans it wasnt that big of a collection and landlords got upset when you tried stealing them off the bar lol

Re: Collecting
 

we used to play a game on pub crawls. The winner was the person who managed to steal the biggest thing from a pub without getting caught, i had a fair collection after that :D
