I’ve Been Collecting Nostalgic Rubbish In My Bedside Cabinet Since 1982

So here’s the thing. I’ve had the same bedside cabinet for over 35 years now (see photos below), and it’s steadily been collecting toys, tat, junk and memorabilia over that whole time. It’s essentially a time capsule of all the stupid stuff I’ve accumulated over the course of my entire life. So figured I would dive in, document and share this Cavalcade of Crap with you, fellow denizens of the internets.

Here’s a taster, but you can see more as I post it all up daily on Instagram over here:

I wish I still had the ridiculous shoes, too.
