I have a section of metal pole. A group of mates went on holiday together, somewhere along the way we acquired this pole, long story that's not relevant, but on coming home we decided to break this pole and each take a bit home. I made an art piece with it and some other momentos from the holiday. It's a nice way of remembering a nice time but occasionally someone is sitting in my front room, does a squinty look and goes - "Is that a pole??"
