house keys
work keys
car ignition key
car boot key
car alarm/central locking fob

I dont believe in having 45,000 keys & other non useful things on 1 key ring as I believe it puts stress on the ignition barrel.

I had to change an ignition barrel once for have far too many keys on the keyring.

Just the Ignition key and remote.

I've seen too many tibby ignition barrels fail due to too much weight. Even got caught out once with the EA CPI we had.... in the middle of nowhere.

House keys are on the keyring with the roller door remote - make life much easier IMO.

Nothing. I have my car key and door remote and that's it.

My bike keys are another story though.

I'm the same. I also have as many ultra keys as possible. It keeps the bundle light. Ultra keys are the ones made from anodised alloy.

I do however also have a little gift my daughter made me for Father's Day last year. It's a little "daddy" word with small dice blocks. A nice reminder of my special girl.

I keep my weekender's key ring simple. EB has about 15 keys on it.

Yeah, I got the FPV keyring while I was saving for an FG F6. I ended up getting the next best thing for a lot less :

I have a real crocodile claw. It's just a baby one and it has a paper I must keep to prove it was done properly from a croc farm.

I have the following:
2x House keys,
2x Work keys
1x BF key
1x BF remote
and my Bender (from Futurama, of course) key ring, which is made of a rubbery plastic

That is probably the limit of what i would put on it. I too have heard stories of ignition barrel problems from excessively weighty key rings.
