What would you rescue?

[coggles]

If you were told that an act of nature was going to destroy your home in ten minutes time, apart from family and pets, what 3 things would you have to save?

[sft42]

all my photos...they are all I have left of my time with my ex and life in Ireland.....my musical instrument collection (a bit of a cop out but I love them all)......and some of my clothes.

[answerbok]

cdroms, tools, mobile phone.

[anthomson]

PC ( or at least a back-up of its contents ), address book, and insurance policies.

[TEAK36]

The TV from the living room,the TV from the bedroom, and the portable TV from the kitchen.

Thank you all for your replies - the heart-warming ones and the (I assume) tongue-in-cheek one! I would also rescue my photograph collection, our daughters scrap book with all of her first scribbles and drawings and my charm bracelet, which I no longer wear but holds years of memories within it. BTW sft42, one of the things my husband would save is his battered, but much loved Fender Strat, so I understand your feelings on that one!

[sft42]

Tell your Hubby he rocks!! I have 3 strats and a very battered tele...along with half a dozen acoustics, a bass, a bouzouki, a mandolin, a violin, a couple of bodhrans and various of ther bits and bobs.

[coggles]

He certainly does!!!! BTW, I'm surprised this 'question' hasn't been pulled by AB Ed - because it's not a proper question and this site is not supposed to be a sustitute chatroom apparently, so I had better see if I can 'ask' or 'answer' something a 'little bit more clever'!

[xyzzy@bok]

cdroms, cds, mobile phone...[Seems like more of a survey than a "question"] - is that allowed? ;-)

[TRINITY]

my teddy bear blacki, my vinyl & record player,

[coggles]

Thanks for that Einstein. I thought it would be interesting to know what would be suggested. I'm glad it was mostly sentimental things and not 'the most expensive' things.

[ANUSHIKA]

nothing id let it all burn and start a fresh

[jakesi]

My photos, my box of certificates,and my wifes wedding dress.

[darth vader]

can i have 4 things? Bread, butter, Marmalade, knife

[coggles]

No Darth, you would need a plate too or else you would get crumbs everywhere, and that would be 5 things which would just be plain greedy!!!!!

I have been trying to think about a good answer since this was first posted. Apart from the things you mention there is nothing that I would HAVE to save. I like my watch, a certain art deco figureine, and a B/W photo of me as a child with my father(now dead). Not certain if I would have to save them though.
