Who would've thought - Kingman? Have you seen the quick "movies" they've created by hanging different post-its on the wall and then they keep changing? Very cool. Like earlier created cartoons. You could probably find it on u-tube.

There's a great one where this guy explained how Lost ended using post it notes - he explained the whole series in like 3 minutes and I certainly understood it better after that :D

I used to collect ash trays, the ones with the name of the bar or cafe on them. I had about 300 at one time, but sadly, they got lost in one of my moves.

I collect perfume bottles, whenever I go to some place new I try and find an unusual perfume bottle to add to my collection.

Other than that, for some reason I store away all my travel passes from buses, trains, planes even tickets to entry to some event or attraction or whatever plus cinema tickets......I don't know why but I just don't throw them away. Image
