I collected stamps when I was a kid - I learnt a hell of a lot about all sorts of subjects. It was good.
Now I collect mineral specimens. Their chemical make-up and the fact that some of them look very pretty really does it for me!
I also collect those tacky adverts you get in TV magazines and Saga magazine etc: "Simply Timeless Elvis Legend in Time Watch" and "Diana - Princess of Hearts Musical Bear".

I used to like making chemical gardens because of the fascination of watching the crystals growing and seeing all those colours developing over tme and how they'd turn out.
Unfortunately not easy to get the chemicals needed these days.
Yes I had some in one of the chemistry labs I worked in.

Not in the slightest, but my mate, the best friend anyone could possibly have, did. Ever since seeing Geller apparently bending forks in the 70's or early 80's, he (my friend), became convinced that he could move objects simply by staring at them. Indeed so obsessed was he that I decided to play a practical joke on him. In advance of him dropping in for a coffee on a Sunday, I attached a thread to the kitchen scissors which hung on a hook. While we were chatting and having our coffee, I pulled the thread and the scissors naturally started swinging. What I didn't realise, was that he was looking in the direction of the scissors when they started to swing and he immediately assumed that his staring had caused the scissors to move. I know I should have told him about the thread but he was so carried away that I didn't want to spoil it for him. Before he died 5 years later, he told that story, many, many, times always adding, when I was there, " Isn't that right Bolo?". I have never regretted agreeing that the 'event' was just as he described.

If you learn to master one function at a time, you'll soon get the hang of it!
