Philistine! Actually it's not a real record, it's a digitally time encoded disc for playing MP3's from my HDD.

Edit: Just noticed how I put "The" instead of "My" , that's what many years of wedlock does to you, you cannot imagine the grief you can get if you call the most simple of items "Mine"

I call those thing the Wife!!!

If I had to select some toys:
PC & 21" LCD monitor
Golf Clubs, Balls, Shoes, Waterproofs, Brolley & Membership Card
Lego (Just kidding)

MY dishwasher (as the kids just don't treat it with due respect!)
My car
My mini disc/radio
My pressure washer (when I get the hang of it)

My mobile phone (but not the bills that go with it)

My hair dryer and straighteners (well I am a woman!!)

(Can't put the man as he's not a toy as such but couldn't do without him all the same!)

Ok:
My computer
PS2
Ipod

Well, here's my toy list:

My Computer (lovely Athlon 2GHz thing in a dark grey case with black keyboard and mouse and a black/silver LCD, no beige here)..
My (Work's actually) iBook. Like a PC laptop, only far sexier... (

)
My iPod (need tunes man).
Mains electricity for the above (OK, so Electricity certainly isn't a toy, but I would need it).
My Dogs (one Westie, one Yorkie and both actually considered toy dogs by the Kennel club, as are all small dogs)
My Cat (certainly not a toy).

My Browning Auto 5 semi-automatic 12 gague shotgun. (Kept in the local police station during the day, by the way).

My Browning Hi-Power, 9x19mm para. (For personal protection).

Come Last quarter of the year I hope to have new toys including.........

Colt M-4 (not the carbine version).

Unknown sidearm, but prolly an M-9 Baretta.

Body Armour.

And most importantly................... Oakley Blades. The best shades in the world.

Couldn't agree more, actually was a factor about going to Glastonbury cos I couldn't take them with me

Couldn't live without my laptop, it's my baby and also my Golf (when it doesn't brake down)

Kidnappings going on left, right and centre, nowheres safe and Westerns are seen as a good target. Please don't go cos I'll be fretting like mad and no amount of money is worth the risk.

You consider firearms toys? Ever considered moving to Texas?

Not toys in the sense of the lego and actionmen I owned as a kid. But in a similar way to how a lot of people see their car/ puter/ decks. I suppose my long exposure to firearms, both as a child and an adult (.22 air-rifles and shotguns on the family farm, upto pistols and 155mm guns in the army). I just dont see a firearm as anything other than a (bloody dangerous) mechanical device.

As for me moving to Texas......................

There is a clocktower in Belfast (Albert Clock), and plenty of bookshops.
