No idea...

...why he kept these, they aren't even tickets. I don't know what he went to see, but it was at the Royal Albert Hall. He might have framed the tickets.

Knife's / Blaades


These were littered everywhere in our house. Dad used them for work mostly but also liked to leisurely cut out tiny bits of magazines. Unlike his feet, his hands were incredibly steady. Surprising but true.

The Cowboy Boots


Dad bought these cowboy boots sometime between 1987 and 1988. He wore them to death and had them up until about 1997 when Mum finally threw them in the bin and poured curry over them to stop him from fishing them back out.
