Well, it was in the same room as him on that day, definately. That's good enough for me frankly.
Edit: I can never spell "definitely". "Definately" always looks right, till I press "Add post" or "Send email" and then suddenly it looks wrong. Must be something to do with that autism I've just been diagnosed with.

Some of my friends have a 30 cm high statue of a skeletal bride and groom that was in their house when they moved in, just after they got married. The house was totally empty when they viewed it.

i probably have lots of tat, i'm a bit of a secret squirrel. mainly dog-eared chicklit books, impulse purchase of make-up, shoes and electrical gadgets that i never use. in terms of proper tack though, i'm hard-pressed to think of very much.

My nan, who died, loved tigers, and had lots of ornimrntal tiger things. I hate orniments personally, but insisted on having a foot long tiger thing on the side when I was with my ex, for, you know, emotional reasons, just because it pissed her off.

My house is stuffed to the Sallys (Gunnels) with tat, from a collection of snow-shakers to 'things that might come in handy'. I think maybe my Planet Hollywood glass is one of the finest examples, being neither useful nor remotely attractive.

Here is my favourite bit of tat, which can be found in my kitchen;

I have a statue that I got from our Indian cleaning lady one year for Christmas. It is hideous but she was lovely and so excited about giving it to me, so it has always had a place in every house I've lived in since. It looks a bit like this:

I have a wine/liquor decanter in the shape of Mr Spock's head. I got it in the 1980s, so it might actually be worth something now. My ex boyfriend got it for free from a comic factory he worked at. It's so tacky that it's cool. Then last year in Las Vegas I got a Star Trek shot glass. But, err, I'm not weird or anything.

It depends on whether your John Squire plectrum is confirmed as his beyond question or fairly good chance it's his but can't be absolutely certain and getting less convinced as time goes by.

Yes. I do have about 600 cds though, so it kind of makes sense to introduce some form of time saving storage option.

From the last gig the Stone Roses did (which was by all accounts terrible) at Reading festival. However I cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt that John Squires ever actually touched the plectrum in question as I wasn't there. Friends of mine work as stage crew and Collect* Memorabilia** from work. One knowing that I was a big Stone Roses fan grabbed it for me when they were clearing the stage after The Stone Roses had played.

Deffo no criticism from me, I'm a librarian. I stayed at a friends about a month ago and I was sleeping in her living room next to her randomly arranged CD's. Early the following morning, she was asleep, I didn't think she'd notice if I did some "tidying" then she woke up and busted me. I'm a rubbish stealth librarian.
