The Mighty Hog 526 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I collected badges for some reason. Still got them somewhere. I also "collected" model cars but I didn't have much say in that. The parents decided and come birthdays or christmas I'd normally end up with a couple. Still got them in their boxes and stuff. I was into the He-Man, TMNT and Thundercats but wouldn't say I collected them because I played with them to death and don't have any of them today.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I collected all sorts of rubbish, obsessively sometimes. Looking back, I think I may have been borderline Aspergers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also liked the Victor annual with Alf Tupper the athlete who'd compete in running events, gan for a chippy on the way home and foil some baddie in between races.

Guest WDP Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) I collected football stickers (obviously), had loads of subbuteo teams, I loved being Millwall for some reason, and I used to collect fossils. When I first started going out drinking when I was about 15 (I've never thieved anything in my life other than these), I had a habit of taking my last pint glass home if it was an interesting glass too. Ended up with about 50 pint glasses at one point. Speaking of thieving one of my old mates, not a mate now like, used to collect the signs off cars. Like "Ford", he'd just rip it off, he had every car make you could think of. Edited December 5, 2010 by WDP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I always take pint glasses home as well if I like the look of them when I'm half-cut. It's a wonder the pubs in toon have any left the way we're going through them. I used to collect football stickers as well and I remember one day, my dad coming in with an entire box of them because the place he worked was distributing them (or something along those lines) and I spent about 2 hours putting them all in. Had more doublers than the entire school put together by the end like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
