Welcome to Geek Syndicate’s Geek Cribbs – where we take readers on a whistle stop tour of
our geek hideaways, whether this be a shelf, display stand, room or house. In this instalment, Geek Syndicate Magazine editor, Antony McGarry-Thickitt (aka WedgeDoc), shares
the ins and outs of his Nottinghamshire home…
In many ways, I’m a very lucky bloke. You see, I’m a geek of the hoarding variety. In my shed,
there are several boxes of Doctor Who action figures in their packaging that attest to this. That’s
not the worst though. I’m a hoarder who likes to have his stuff visible. Who doesn’t spend money
on cigarettes or alcohol or cinema or any such “disposable” activity very often. I buy things.
Books, DVDs, action figures …
My lovely wife is also a geek (lucky me). Not only that, but she is extremely accepting of my
hoarder-displayer personality. In this instalment of Geek Cribbs, I’ll be taking you on a journey
through our home and talking about the why’s and wherefore’s of various collections that I (we)
have on display.
Welcome to our Humble Abode …
The first item people see when entering our lair is this framed
carbon cut out bat logo. This is a custom item (as far as I know
the only one of its kind) that we were given as a wedding present by my wife’s uncle. Oddly, a door-to-door charity worker
refused to believe that I was married simply because that picture was hung so prominently. Apparently only men can be
Bat-fans…
