Thank fuck!

I just saw the thread title and got really worried...


ok


(H)


My phone

I can't think of anything worse than having to start a 'I burnt down my phone' Facebook group


Thats a funny way of spelling

"Complete Sevendust discograhpy"


Yeah

I was my own undoing there. Although I like the idea of recording all the discos I have ever been to


practical

insanely boring but practical


Standard response, photo albums

Actually, I'd take my laptop, it has my thesis on it and I have'nt made backups.


My change jar.


Well all my other possible answers are a bit lame.

My cuddly toy!
My CDs!
My carpet!


I got that valued at the Antiques Roadshow

and insured it seperately. I can deal with losing that.


photo albums/gig ticket books

I should really scan all these and save them on my computer.


Definitely my Mac

(as in computer, not coat)


like the canisters

recently found in Austria? I get ya.


My laptop so I can start a

"My home is burning down: what should I do?" thread on DiS.


The Fire Engines are pretty good

as are Crispy Ambulance. Don't bother with The Police.


:D

to both the above posts


my guitar, laptop

if i was naked a pair of jeans and trainers too.


GUITAR

yes, then that.


i make no sense


Probs my laptop

or my tv, though the former is more portable.


My wallet

I think I'd be quite philosophical about losing my stuff, but the first thing I'd want to do is go to the pub.


That's why I'm taking my change jar.

Nothing will get you over the shock of losing your shit like trying to count out £9.65 in coppers to buy the round.


it's a house fire

not the alleyway in Goodnight Sweetheart.


best answer

actually, I'd be quite disappointed at losing all my stuff, but yes, pub would be a good call


I'd stand in my loft

lobbing my record collection out of my velux windows, then grab boxes of photo's on my way back down stairs, stopping only to put the cat in my rucksack and the missus over my shoulder.

I've completely ignored the thread question haven't I. Sorry.


What if his missus is in a wheelchair?

You heartless bigoted clunge.


lol

'clunge'
long time no hear :D


I saw a programme once where

Adi Adepitan climbed up a mountain using only his hands, dragging his 'useless polio ravaged legs' (quote) behind him. If he can do that and his missus can't fling herself down some stairs to get away from some fire using only her hands then TOUGH SHIT.


you're all heart aren't ya !

actually, she probably would have legged it long before I came to the rescue. As for the cat, well, they like the warmth don't they..


My 'memories' bag.

Has all my old gig tickets, old letters and photos and some sweet things from years ago.


you could also put some

charred joists from the ceiling in your bag on the way out that way you'd never forget the time your house burnt down.


:D


My Easter Egg.

Still to eat it.


Spare underwear

I'd have to stay with someone seeing as I won't have a house anymore, and I'm damned if I'm not taking a clean pair of pants with me.


hard drive

definitely


drivin'

hitting the cow never gets old


definately

Enriquo


shoes

and a coat


I've actually given this some thought

and I would take several things. The two most important are my laptop and my scrap book. Next are some signed stuff (all in the same place so I wouldn't have to run around searching for the different things) and if I had time I would grab some more stuff as well but those are the essentials. I refuse to choose one thing.


not that much thought

considering you're only allowed one thing.


Puffy

There wouldn't be any thought involved, it's the most important non animal/human thing to me without contest.
