'what is the point' things you own

[Rob.]

Everytime I saw the title to the thread: 'what is the point' things in your town' I thought it said 'what is the point' things you own so to get it out of my system I have started this thread which covers it.

To start us of I have an old canadian metal number plate at the bottom of my garden and often think to myself 'what is the point'.

Over to you...

Have lots of tat but, on reflection, a double bed!

[Mobile Chicane]

A large antique Moroccan bird cage.

I keep meaning to put a plant in it or something, but for some reason never get around to doing it.

I have a old british number plate at the bottom of my garden, its attached to a car. There is your answer!

You are a PH'r therefore you like cars.

I Have a bit of an old sofa i have burnt my name into.

For some reason i still have all my bib numbers for every race i have done in the past two years - dont really know why i started keeping them, just do.

About 4 pairs of old running shoes i convince myself i will wear when it comes to painting/gardening etc. I also have a stick dedicated to stirring paint, but that is an essential bit of man kit.

[R.I.F.]

About half of my cars
An iPod or two
A brand new and unused Nintendo DSi

All bought on a whim.

In fact probably about half the stuff I own I could easily do without...

Hers...

[okgo]

Watch - £2k and does the same thing as one that cost £2.
PS3 - total time I have spent 'gaming' on it has been 1.3 hours in two years.

They are two things that spring to mind.

[glazbagun]

Loads of tatty gidts bought by people who were on holiday and who felt obliged to get me something which I feel obliged to keep... ina abox which I cart from flat to flat.

Number plates off my old cars, on the wall in my bedroom

[Big Rod]

Almost the entire contents of my garage and a lot of the debris surrounding it.

I have two project cars, two trailers and a shed load of spares and fancy bits to build one track car and one 'fancy' car. I work away a lot these days and don't get the chance to work on them.

I have loads of tools and stuff that hasn't even found itself out of the box or packet. (Not expensive either, just things I bought that I thought would be useful.)

I love them. My life would be empty without them but they serve absolutley no subjective, objective or practical purpose.

Oh, and probably any jewelery I own. What's the point in it other than willy waving? All my jewelery is worth about £30 retail, but I like it. Go figure.

I assume you're single and therefore suggesting that a double bed is, quite literally, a waste of space?

Piffle, I'm single and couldn't go back to sleeping in a single bed if you paid me. Enjoy the space, man.

Same with me.

Edited due to crap formatting.

Divorced and, on my second double bed since the divorce. I guess that the purchase of a single bed would be admitting defeat. But yes, I do delight in the extra space (sometimes).

So I guess it was a tad stupid to nominate my DB as a 'what is the point' but was more a poking-a-finger-at-myself as a bit of fun sort of way.

Then don't think of it as extra space, think of it as a "situation vacant"

My libido
Old birthday/ xmas cards
Clothes I've not worn for years
