You cruel cnut Yeeb.

There was only one reason you started this thread.

Nope not really - was genuine , haven’t had lunch out of that Tupperware in years , just got me thinking that’s all. The Oundle one features a lot less high in my thoughts on here than some would have you lead believe !

A pair of Black Trickers Country Brogues,which are at least 25 years old. I keep them on wooden shoe trees and bull them occasionally so that they have a mirror finish.
Get surprising amount of compliments from the laydeez , considering that otherwise I am an ugly . Salad dodging Bald Git!

Still have a pencil case from 1980. God I'm so old

I've rode quite a few old bikes. It's very common in Holland

Pair of Ducker & Sons brougues, still in daily use after 35 years, my son has the other pair and wears them on weekends out..

And a condom. .

Still comb my hair every morning with the black plastic comb I bought for 1st day of boarding school in 1986.

Your mum.

yeah, I have that much hair as well.

Sucks eh?

relatively speaking, i'll leave you lot for dead : i still use my first mobile phone dating back 2005 ... a 13 years old mobile phone. /thread.

I think it’s the flashes for my kilt socks that I got when I was 18 (1989). Still got the kilt as well, but for some reason that doesn’t seem to fit anymore.

How does a kilt not fit? Mine's very adjustable?

And sandstorm, what type of oik owns a plastic comb?

There’s still only a certain amount of material.

A lot of beer has settled on the gut. Slim flanker to fat old hooker.

Always better to start off as a hooker.

Although now I've stopped playing my suit jackets are somewhat roomy round the shoulders!

I still have my Slide Rule from 1969 !! Can't say I use it now though.

And I still have my school blazer from 1967 - I could still get into it up until about 10 years ago - bit on me tight now....

One with hair, nothing wrong with a plastic comb. Oldest thing I own is probably my laptop bought around 2012.

Couple of axes which were my Grandfathers. I still keep them razor sharp even though I don't use them so much these days.

Do books count? Got my Swallows and Amazon's series back from my mum's, ripped and worm ridden that they are they were still the first books I got into and bought with my own pocket money when I was 8, re-reading them now.

Still bonk my 1970's ex .........

Even if i replaced her with a 1980's version / model .

Have a pencil case I made in woodwork class from intermediate school. I still keep pencils and erasers and whatnot in it for use when I need them. Seemed the obvious place to keep that stuff which is why I've kept it I suppose.. Not strictly "purchased" though.

I think the oldest thing I purchased is a couple snapon screwdrivers and a 1/2" ratcheting socket wrench I bought in my first job. Probably from a couple of my first pay cheques.

I am typing this on a 2012 model.

Mind you, it was an AU $8K model when new and the idiot CIO didn't realise this when he signed off the redundancy a few months later

Currently using a MacBook Pro 17 inch model from 2011.

Yes, Apple does make the most solid built laptops. No question.

Mine is a top of the range Lenovo which I use as my work computer, it has never once put a foot wrong.

Oh yeah, well I made mine with some punch cards that George Harrison gave me in 1961 when I gave him a lift to band practice.

I have some books I got when I was 8-9 years old but the oldest item I use would be my golf clubs, purchased in 1975.

My desk

Bought myself a desk to do my model kits in the basement when I was about 14
Followed me in my flat as work desk when in college.
It moved to Ireland when I bought my house there and back to France last year

Still in use for my computer desk.

I've got a few old books I bought from a second-hand store in the mid-eighties which are now over 200 hundred years old. I tried reading them but they were too boring.

I looked them up on the internet recently and they're not worth much.

i must say, I find this (rather boring) thread quite interesting. In a way, items like books don't count, because they are emotive, personal, not bought 'to do a function' as such, and can stay on a shelf for decades before you read them again. Most probably everyone has things like these from their childhood, I have somewhere a complete collection (up until that point) of Thomas the Tank Engine, Fighting Fantasty books, Asterix to name but a few.

lots of people have family heirlooms like grandfathers pocket watch - didn't expect Grandpa's Axe though ! Love the fact that a tool implement is still used decades later for its precise purpose, when modern things from B&Q break after 5 mins.

I bought my current cock in The Second-Hand Cock Shop when I was fifteen and a half. I had rubbed all the skin off the original.

I am now sixty-five and a half.

Do I win?

Someone needs to start a few 'Favourite Classic Car', 'Favourite Power Tool' and 'Favourite Musical Instrument' threads

Having been on the move and regularly had to up sticks over the last few years I don't have too many things that are old or have any sentimental value at all.
About the only thing I have held on to is a hat I got about 20 years ago and still wear when I go to places commonly referred to as shit-holes. It's a cap with a grinning skull emblem on it that wins friends and influences people everywhere it goes. It's had a hard life, and it shows. Damned if I'm getting a new one though.

I have a pillow case from when I was about 3 years old. I'm nearing 40.

Cartoon characters and everything. Wife tries to "accidentally" throw it out every few years but hell no.

Just remembered my watch - from my folks when I turned 21. It still works well

Was just going to mention my Empire Strikes Back and Dukes of Hazzard pillow cases...

suspect the Daisy Duke bit is harder and crunchier than a Doormat by now
