With me I like things to look good – and again this all boils down to personal preference.  For some reason only known to the deepest parts of my soul I have an interest in cameras, trainers and rucksacks.  Some of you out there will think “weird” but in the big wide world there are others like me who share my same loves.  I’ve known people who have hundreds of film cameras in their collection – me I have just gone through and used a wide range from various makers.  I am now down to just one – a well used Nikon F4s, which is heavy and noisy but I wouldn’t get rid of it for “all the tea in china”.  Then there are the trainers.  I own only 5 pairs (all skate shoes) but again there are people who have hundreds and hundreds of pairs.  I’ve owned trainers which when I first clapped my eyes on them have instantly wanted to own but on wearing them have been some of the most uncomfortable pairs of footwear I have worn.  I do like skate shoes and there are 2 pairs in the bottom of my wardrobe I haven’t worn yet – saw them and just had to buy them!  With rucksacks its mainly the practical side for me – I always seem to need more storage space for some reason.  Now with the explosion of Internet shopping I could spend “big bucks” on various items not because I needed them but because something catches my eye and I just cant resist the temptation.  I will probably browse Ebay later (Mmmm)
