Wow, some folks have some impressive stuff just lying around on their
desks and terminals at work!
I daren't do that here, they may disappear! We have an after-hours cleaning
service and in the past folks have "lost" things (radios, walkmans). Things
are better now (the culprits were fired), but I'm still not trusting.
My cube's far from barren though. Apart from a mess of soccer posters,
I do have a Mille Miglia poster with neato pictures of cars all over it
including a BRG Jag C Type and a BRG Jag D Type (hmmm, where did I get
that from?)
Remember those "Baby On Board" thingys... well, I have a "Brit On Board"
thingy hanging up... I won't put it in the car (I hated that trend).
I have a bumper sticker hanging up, "Thank GOD I'm British" :-)
Of course I have a picture of HM The Queen (smiling nicely).
Also, a cutting of a picture of Maggie Thatcher with the quote, "I envy
President Reagan", just to show you I have a weird sense of humour, ahem...
Ooo, nearly forgot! I also have a poster of a Lotus Espirit Turbo/
Porsche 928/Ferrari 308 labelled "Choices", but no space to hang it.
(You may have seen it in yer local card and gift shoppe). I also
used to have postcards from Britain all over the place, but I had
no place to put them when our company relocated last year.
But my toys stay home. Too bad! Me missus just bought me a Corgi MGA
in BRG from her trip in Chicago. Its gorgeous and the detail is pretty
good for a Corgi (wood dash with detailled dials, etc). My favourite
is my Corgi Jag MkII, also in BRG. I have loads of other stuff too
(Burago, Matchbox, Lledo, etc) too long to list here.
Cor Blimey, I seem to have posted to the list a lot today.
Cheers!
