or the house, or the car or a the boat?????


What do you have on your key ring and more over what do you use for a key ring?

I have one of those key rings that seperates into two batches of keys.

On one ring I have my master keys to the buildings I manage.

On the other are the keys to the house, my Intrepid, and my wife's Windstar.

The Car keys, Alarm deactivator & Front door Key all on a metal ring....then another set that are all work keys on a metal ring with a tag

they are all attached to a ring that has a pic of my boy :)

My key ring is from my Volvo dealership -- occasionally it's been helpful to have that number handy.

As for keys -- keys to my corp apartment (& mailbox), keys to my Columbus house, and a car key (yep -- you guessed it -- the Volvo). Boring, I know.

Lilith,

Car key, house key, safe deposit box key, and a very small pen knife are in my beat up key case.

I used to have a somewhat larger pen knife, but I forgot about it and booked a flight to LA...

Like jseal, I lost my Swiss army knife when I was boarding a plane. I just have my office swipe card, house keys and car keys on mine.

jseal 11-02-2003 03:33 PM

Bilbo,

ute?

I have two sets as well..... one has my car key, house key and key for my old house, and the keyring is a baby haggis I got when we were in Skye......

...... the other has all my work keys on it, and the keyring is a miniature brake-disc & caliper!!

jseal.... a "ute" is kinda the Aussie version of a pick-up, I think!! :)

jseal 11-02-2003 05:22 PM

dm383,

Oh. OK. Thanks.

fzzy 11-02-2003 05:28 PM

Office key, house keys, mailbox, paddlelock, brass key ring plate thingy and a pair of nail clippers.

celticangel 11-02-2003 05:33 PM

my work eyes hang on a key ring that gives the meaning of my name
my house and car keys hang on a ring that says "I'm always in trouble ,but it's so much fun"

I have a keyring with a moose, a present from Sugarfreecandy who was a pixies member till her parents found some of her naked pics on the puter when she was living at home. (she was 22 at the time LOL)

Anyway that is a little aside from the subject.
I have 3 rings in the key ring, one with my Subaru keys and car alarm device, one with work keys and the other has flat and shed keys.

Jseal ... DM is right in one way a ute ... short for a utility vehicle is what americans call a pickup. It is not the Aussie version of a pickup, the pickup is the American version of the ute.

In 1933 a Gippsland (In the State of Victoria) farmer's wife wrote a letter to Ford and she said "Can you build me a vehicle that we can go to church in on Sunday without getting wet, and my husband can use it to take the pigs to market on Monday?" So the idea of combining a car and a truck together was something that Lew Bandt, who then was the young designer of Geelong, came up with. He took the 1933 model coupe and built the back on it and strengthened the chassis so that it would carry the load, and it was approved and they went into production in 1934. From the front, it's just a very nice Ford coupe passenger car. At the back, of course, is the workhorse part of it, but inside this is exactly what the farmer's wife from Gippsland wanted. She wanted wind-up windows, she wanted comfortable seats, she wanted a roof that didn't let the rain in, and Lew Bandt provided just the car for her. The influence that Lew Bandt had on the Australian motor industry was tremendous, but he also had an influence right around the world because virtually every other manufacturer, certainly of popular cars, built a coupe utility and all of them were derived from the idea that Lew Bandt had in 1933.

Grumbleguts,

Quelle Horreur! The pickup truck is as American as, well, apple pie! What? Next you’ll be suggesting that apple pie is not native to the good ‘ol USA!

This cannot be! I’m gonna call my congressman! Yes siree, he’ll know what to do!

Harumph!

The pickup not American?

Well I never…
