Why did I keep it.
Clearing out some old documents, mostly UK stuff, for the free shredding event in the city. I found my x-ray from the visa medical in 2006. Now why did I keep it?

I also still have all the offical documents they mailed me.

2002 here.
What are you gonna do with it? I don't want to put it in the trash... think of the identity theft potential!!!

Teehee, just pulled it out of the closet to take a look at it and realized that they misspelled my first name.
Holding it up to a white wall isn't enough, you actually need light shining through to see it well so I would need to make or buy a light box to display it.

Mine (2006) is on the bookshelf next to my bed right now. It was in the garage for ages. Not really sure what to do with it, the kids found it interesting.

Re: Why did I keep it.
I gave mine to my stepson shortly after arriving here in 2005 and I have no idea where the bloody hell it is now, but I presume he still has it somewhere. I remember thinking it would be of some importance until the bloke at the airport told me he wasn't interested in seeing it, so it became his new 'toy'

I think it's like the tags on pillows etc that say Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law.

Re: Why did I keep it.
I had my first one (1976) for 20+ years.. eventually my wife took it to school and used it in some K-3 art project, I think it was..
