Before my son was born his bedroom was my storage room which housed all my books and dvds.Having little storage space left in the house this caused me a major problem leading up to his birth.My girlfriend wouldn't go with my idea of building a cot out of books and dvds so I had to get rid of some of my collection.1000+ books went to charity.That left me with what to do with the dvds.The only space was in my wardrobe,so I duly threw away most of my clothes and housed a large chunk of my dvds there.

So if we see someone in the street wearing a DVD case we'll know it's you.

Lovin the avatar dude.Start em young,eh.

[Make Them Die Slowly]

I am big believer in starting them young,I think it was the Jesuits who said:give me the boy and I'll show you the man.His first film when new born was "Maniac"and his sister's,when new born was the "Dawn of the Dead" remake.By the way,nobody here is a social worker are they!

The only thing about displaying DVD's downstairs is that non collecting friends can see them and ask to borrow some.
I'm not tight, but I know that to a non collector a DVD is only a £13 shiny disc , or a shiny disc that the guy with the sports bag sells at 3 for a tenner in the pub.
Well to me its alot more than that , a hell of a lot more.
I also know that if its an infamous film , or particular violent , it'll be brought into their work and lent to other people, and the chances of me getting it back in the same condition as I lent it out are nil.
Plus, in the case of films I dont have more than one version of, it leaves a hole in whatever section of DVD's it was barrowed from , and that annoys the hell outta me. I've re-bought a film on a few odd occasions as it's irratted me that much , and that was only after 2 days, as I could see that one film not being in its slot was thowing all the rest of whatever section out of sync.

What way do the rest of you feel on lending. ?

BTW, I keep mine upstairs now, and have stopped lending films out.

I Never lend these days. I let mum borrow a few to watch as she treats everything with respect, but anyone else is told nicely no way. Because many are rare and I spent years trying to get them I don't want them damaged or lost and boy have I had many of both due to ignorance, Because as you say to a non serious collector it is nothing more than a Disc.

My Ex Hayley borrowed some back in 2003, I went round to hers and 3 of the discs were thrown content side down on top of her unit next to a glass of coke.

I have Ocd & Tourettes syndrome so Although I am very placid soft and laid back one thing that will make me fire up is having my Dvds mistreated and i do admittedly wrap them in cotton wool so to speak so much as a speck of dust and i get arsey LOL. It takes 4 seconds to put something back in the case.And how hard is it to hold a disc round the edge instead of putting sticky fingerprints all over the damn thing.

I don't know maybe I am OTT and protective of My collection but it means so much to me but these days I would not lend, expierience has taught me enough!!.
