Greenelk's Collection

[Greenelk]

Mr Green Elk, you have nothing to be ashamed of - if you could but see some of the .... hmmmm .. eclectic stuff in my CD collection (including ABBA Gold) you would feel quite smug in the knowledge that your musical taste is far more .... hmmm .. sophisticated .... than mine

I can claim a lot of things, but sophistication really isn't one of them!!

Three CD set, ABBA The Hits 1- 3, clearly visible as the first box set of CDs on the second picture, that's the extent of my ABBA cds, honest!!!! thankful this doesn't make me a board pariah!! (I hope anyway)

Maybe a Best Of compiliation, that shouldn't take up much room ?

A R G H !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooo Refuse to entertain the notion, Mr Green Elk is obviously, measured by his book collection, a man of taste and refinement

Thank you.

The ones on the left are in our dining room/library and are made of the sort of industrial grade timber used in house construction (my girlfriend chooses things like this) It took me two weekends to do the whole room, and I hurt afterwards.
I can't remember what wood we used for the other shelves, but again, those were something we built ourselves, but with consideably less pain involved.

Cool. Thanks for the reply. Those kind off look like cut down and stained 2x4's.

Maybe all those ARE Abba albums.....

A few more books now. My Mansion House/Hard Gore Press books, a few random bits and pieces, and the Shivers series.

The observant amongst you will notice that Shivers 5 is missing. I can't find it anywere (I have no idea where I might have put it, so I'm blaming the kids), and of course it's now out of print. I'll pick up a copy from ABE soon!

Those are great shelving units. Were those purchased or did you build them yourself? I really like the natural look to them.

That's the spirit Mr Elk, like me, you just have to learn to duck, dodge and generally weave around the flying objects - one becomes quite adept after a ..... while ....

The problem is, it's not just books.... below is the other passion

I had to orders to put all of these in full alphabetical order earlier in the year. That was a whole weekends work!!

It's ok. I'll just have to buy more!!!

(That loud thud is my other half throwing things at me. She understands really....)
