Nice collection of stuff there. I like the patches, especially the Polar Team one, 'tis a beauty.

Looks like there's an unfortunate crack in the magic mug?!
Totally at ease with it all, yeah.

That Christmas card is still bloody terrifying. I am pretty sure I actually sent one to someone, though I can't remember who.
And I asked, "Are you dreaming about a crow?"
And there she was....

I haven't seen that card before (or I've erased it from memory) - I was wondering how it was BSP-related!

I disappointingly opened my Kendal mint cake about 8 years after I was given it. Disappointingly because it tasted like all Kendal mint cake. I still have the wrapper.

I like badges so I was just thinking it odd that I've never bought any BSP badges.

Where is the tortoise from?

The tortoise was from a gig in lincoln around 2007 I think. They were made by yan. Not sure how many.

I have two card left. I sent the rest out,. One of the two left was to my wife.

I am sure I have some more tat kicking around. I definitely had some dylrm era Plasters. Wish i still had the spuds from Islington church.

I'm sure that each member of the band "doodled" on the bottom of the tortoise or summit. I got one from the great escape gig in brighton i think in about 2007

Here's some of my tat, from a few years back (was a follow up to someone else's article on daft band merch). I have never bought a tortoise which pleases me, as it means some of you are dafter than me :)

The hand made soap was probably the stupidest thing ever. I still have mine, albeit well clingfilmed these days.

The soap!!! I forgot about that. Mine leaked and went all gooey and ended up in the bin

I still have the wrapper from the chocolate and label from the lager. And some BSP transfer tattoos. Loads of mugs of course. My original mark 1 tea power is in far worse state than the magic mug there, but shored up by a roll's worth of sellotape it still does sterling service as a desk tidy.

The weirdest bit of merch I have and wondered why I bought it is the "compressed elephant's foot" with certificate of authenticity. If you had to guess what special gig that was from, you'd probably guess the Natural History Museum, and you'd be right.

Your photo makes me sad for the recent demise of my Mk1 at the (possibly) satanic paws of my elderly blind cat who reversed into it while getting off the coffee table.
I called her several very bad things, but I'm pretty sure she's deaf now as well.

That's a fantastic collection of mugs. Do you have a rota for using them? or is it a decision that has to be made at each tea time?

Nice mugs, nice wall.

I probably spend to much on their music as it is, so I'm selective with the mugs and only go for the ones that i like. I still have about 11 of them anyway, but unfortunately missed the Man Of Aran related one and the third one from the left(next to the Open Season mug) which I've always fancied.

Got, not got, got, got, not got, got, not got, got - not got the rest but do have a white magic mug too.

And when I say 'got' for mk1...
