Twenty years on too, or 2.

[Crouchy]

Following on from Neil’s post I have noticed that I too have frequented this den for 20 years. Where has that time gone and how much have I spent?
Early on I was a serial flipper but then became fortunate enough to be able to keep those I liked. Then I almost became a hoarder, as my wildly diverse SOTCs have illustrated. In the last year though a lot happened with family which made me re-evaluate many things - including my wildly out of control collection/s.
I also miss some of the characters that have been through, others less so - but then I’m sure some would say the same of me, difference is what makes this community great. Like Neil, I wonder will I make another 20 - who knows - but long may the forum continue.
This place is, on the whole, a great and trustworthy place - at times expensive though especially for things I didn’t know I needed.
Anyway, enough of my drivel, and congratulations to all the other ‘old timers’ still here.
Thanks Crusader.

I’m curious, what else are you collecting apart from watches?

Well, if memory serves me correctly - one of my first purchases from James was a leather flying jacket

Iain is correct, I had a very large flight jacket collection which is now somewhat smaller but, according to the long suffering wife, still not small enough….
I have a collection of Oakley sunglasses, even though I now need prescription glasses, I also have a collection of other sunglasses too - just to compound.
A collection of pens, space stuff, just things that are unusual, many books about the different Waffen SS divisions, particularly foreign volunteers, WW1 trench art, to name but a few.
All part of the joys of being on the spectrum :-).
I think many people on here have several collections of ‘stuff’.

Any chance of a few flying jacket pics please?

Nice to see another old timer making the score Crouchy.

Long may you run - to quote Neil Young.

Great, Crouchy!
And as you put it so aptly:
Thanks Crusader!
