In no particular order. Nikon F and Leica M3 which both belonged to my late father. A silver pinky ring I made for a jewellery CSE I sat as a first year addendum to my A Level in DCT in 1986/7 My mountain bike. http://www.davidjboughton.com/v/Personal/_-86.JPG.html I built it up myself from separates and though it cost me somewhere in the region of £900 to achieve it would have cost closer to £4k if you attempted to buy something similarly specced. Getting the £1400 frame for nowt helped immeasurably. My family - HC and C umm, I can't think of anything else, though I have lots of nice stuff - it's just stuff that I wouldn't be upset too much about losing. |

I've been having a think about this. I'm not a materialistic person, nor in a realtionship so it was a bit difficult. I've decided on my dive log - it couldn't be replaced and I'd be a bit miffed if I had to replace Toby (my car), but it wouldn't be the end of the world. |

I'm stupidly sentimental about things, but after moving house what feels like every fucking fortnight for several years, there's nothing I wouldn't get over pretty quickly. The thing that would annoy me most would be the roughly 500 copies of a handful of things I've written that are stashed away on various CDs and hard drives. I have tonnes of little things that remind me of people and places and events from my past, but I don't really need any of them, and if they were lost or destroyed I'd still remember. Like the piece of wood in my icon, for instance. There's a story behind that so esoteric that it's simply not worth recounting, but it reminds me of a shared joke with an old friend, so much so that I packed it with me when I carried everything I owned and didn't want to throw away to Canterbury when I left London and didn't expect to come back. |

Well, if it was *me* then I know to call Direct Line. Also I can go to my bank, it having a thing called a "branch". If it's you, then it depends. But even if I didn't or couldn't, I can't think that I'd care too much, which was my main point. It's just stuff. |
