As a rule, life has taught me that those who collect one thing show slight obsessive compulsive traits for collecting any old shite.
My sister for example, she loved to collect first rubbers (erasers not condoms lol she was just a kid) then badges, then she had the most embrrassing amount of keyrings on a chain. Now she collects daft miniture things like ornaments, and all here clothes are in colour co-ordinated organisation.
Now take jonno, obviously had a known unhealthy obsession with records. They are everywhere, the packaging that they come in are scattered around the house. Funnily enough they are always 'from ages ago' that just took ages to arrive, or they are '50p ers'.
Anyway, last year he got bang into scalectrix, this year its fireworks. He is obsessed with them. He made me drive all the way to Bolton to get £35 worth to tie him over this week. Last night he was late for the footy as he had to set a quick two off before leaving. This morning i catch him having a sly wank in the box room over a Millenium Pyro mailorder catalouge that came through the post. Although he explained that the used firework between his teeth was purley for olfactory extiment (something to do with the smell of used gunpowder) i still find it a bit odd.
Anyway, the question is do you collect and if so what. Did you as a kid, has it left you with odd traits in adulthood?
