What is the coolest thing you own?

mm, don't have many cool things.

Probs a signed Chris Rea print of the auberge album cover.

My autograph book from the 70s.

I remember standing outside the players entrance to get the autographs, and one thing always comes to mind, everybody saying 'You're not going Stuey are you' and him saying I'm going nowhere.

Next week he was off to Newcastle.
 
I think that I've changed my mind. I don't feel comfortable saying that I own the dog. He's his own dog and I see him as an equal, not as a possession. He is really cool though. He smokes French cigs and wears shades indoors. So if it isn't the dog, then it's probably the Rickenbacker.
 
A pair of Millenium Falcon cufflinks.
A titanium and ceramic right hip courtesy of a brilliant surgeon in Middlesbrough.
A heart with new plumbing courtesy of a brilliant surgeon in Cambridge.
Achtung Baby on vinyl (don't even have a record player)
And a signed in person copy of the new Simple Minds album.

I've got loads of cool things! But the coolest thing has to be a programme my grandad left for me when he passed in the summer from Guisborough Town when they reached a final at Wembley in 1980.
My Grandad actually played for Guisborough after World War two and played with and against several people who went on to represent, Middleton, Sunderland and Newcastle and once told me how he came up against a very young Brian Clough before he made it pro!
But in the Programme he's made loads of notes which is awesome and there's messages from people like Kevin Keegan wishing them well.
First remembrance day without him tomorrow, what a man. Absolute hero
 
Just remembered I went to see weller in hamburg. I've got his 'order of songs that was on his piano' and a plectrum he used to play town called malice.
I was a youngish squaddie at the time. I got naked and handed my mate trev my clothes then tried to climb on the stage. A burly security guard pushed me backwards off the stage. I thought the crowd would catch me but they parted and I was horizontal before I hit the floor.
We then went back to the rieperbahn and got more beers before going to KFC for mashed potato and gravy. Mmmmmm.
5 of us then slept in a vw golf in the carpark below the petrol station.
Great night
 
My dad's watch. 1969 Omega seamaster. Not worth mega amounts but I remember how happy he was the day he bought it. Its in loads of the pics I have of him and I miss him so much.

Also over 60 Dickie Rooks autographs (I found out he lived near me when I was 7. He never turned me down even though I was verging on being his stalker).
 
Bobby Murdoch's blue and black away shirt that he wore in the '74 promotion season.
He gave it to my Dad when he was secretary of the original Boro supporters' club. When my Dad suddenly died this summer, he left no will, but ever since he first showed me this shirt when I was young, he always said I couldn't have it until he died then it would be mine. I wish it wasn't mine yet, for obvious reasons, but it is perhaps the best thing I own.
