We all know philatelists [stamp collectors] or friends who collect such items as bottle caps [tops]. I have set out to find out some of the stranger, perhaps trivial and often amusing items that are collected throughout the world.

Will's shoe collection, for example, consists of one pair black, one pair brown and one pair sandals. However, my wife, Steve, and indeed my daughter, Hannah, have loads of pa...

It's the perfect end to their first wedding anniversary.

Charles and Linda Everson are driving back to their hotel at Lake Chelan, in the northwest of the USA. Around them is a rocky beautiful landscape. The road ahead is clear.

Suddenly a huge object drops from the sky. It crashes onto the bonnet of the Everson’s car.

Saturday, July 28, 1945

It's a very foggy morning. Lt. Colonel William Smith is flying a U.S. Army B-25 bomber over New York City. He needs to get to Newark, New Jersey but is travelling in the wrong direction.

Lt Smith radios the nearest airport, La Guardia (now JFK) for a weather report. Because of the poor visibility they advise him to land immediately.

But Lt Smith wants to complete his mission. 'I think I can make it to Newark,' he says. 'I'll try and fly below the fog.'

It's a fatal mistake.

As Colonel Smith descends he sees...

Stupid Parrot

Talking birds can be dangerously annoying

A repairman once went to house to repair a dishwasher. The owner was out at work but she left instructions about her pets: a bull dog called Spike and a parrot.

‘Don’t worry about Spike,’ she wrote in a note she left with the house key. ‘He won’t bother you. But it’s extremely important that you don’t talk to my parrot. Don’t say a word to him.’

The repairman went into the house. In the kitchen was an enormous, scary looking bulldog. But, as the owner had promised, Spike lay quietly on the carpet.
