Finally getting around to responding to Stratford Girl’s tag!
OK, let’s just get one thing straight.
I am a boy.
And boys don’t have handbags.
As such.
Some of us do carry laptop bags, so – for the purposes of this tag- I’m pretending that my laptop bag is my handbag.
I don’t actually have a handbag.
OK?
Moving on…

The first photograph:
This is my laptop bag.
Isn’t it pretty?
No, that’s exactly my point.
It isn’t pretty. It’s not a handbag. I’m not a girl.
Moving on (some more).
The second photograph:
Shows the contents of the small flappy pocket on the front of the laptop bag. Hidden away in here are a few trinkets to keep the natives happy.
In the first row we have:
A USB cable for T-Bar
Sticky notepad things from a posh hotel in Kildare I stayed in last summer
USB cable extender for T-Bar
T-Bar driver disk, instruction manual
T-Bar remote control
T-Bar magnetic aerial and USB connector
Car/House keys
PCMCIA driver disk
RG85 tone/pulse converter
The second row gives us:
Bank security device for doing internetting stuff with money
Black marker and two highlighter pens
Spanish to English plug converter
USB memory stick and extension lead
Green and black biros
Ibuprofen
USB driver disk
USB extension cable
Paracetamol
Chewing gum
More Paracetamol! (no, I’m not a drug addict. I hardly touch the stuff! I just seem to be the office pharmacy)
One Euro (Random! Don’t ask me what it’s doing there!)
Batteries (don’t know what for!)
RG85 cable (just in case I find myself in a place with no mobile internet signal and no WiFi hotspot)
Split ring
And in the third row we have:
Spare batteries for digital voice recorder
Instruction manual for digital voice recorder (I’ve had it for a year now, perhaps I should chuck this?)
Digital voice recorder
Microsoft software key/security code
USB cable for iPod
USB cable for camera
One replacement earpad for ipod earphones
The third photograph shows:
The contents of the cavernously large pocket on the back of the laptop bag. There are very many useful things tucked away in here, including:
The Open University Arts Good Study Guide
A wodge of envelopes (technical term there for you)
Folder of invoices and bills
Folder of dressage tests in case I have five minutes to fill and I need to learn one
The totally brilliant wipe on/off dressage test board
Two USB sticks
Assortment of pens and an electrical screwdriver
CD-RW
Random red paperclip
Personal and company cheque books
AirPlus driver on CD
Camera case
Certificate from Microsoft for doing something technical with software

And finally…
The fourth photograph:
Tells us what’s lurking inside the laptop bag, viz:
Laptop including 3g portable internet card
Three USB sticks and a USB Bluetooth dongle
Book on The Coliseum and Classical Studies notes

Riveting, eh? Aww, c’mon. You’re mesmerised by my rock’n’roll lifestyle, arencha?
🙂
And for those who believe there might be something missing; my iPod isn’t in the bag, it’s in my shirt pocket.
Nyah!
Thanks for the tag SG. Sorry it took me so long to respond but I did so want to do it properly!
And now I’m passing the baton onwards: Genevieve, Natural Blonde and Froggywoogie. Tag you’re (all) it!
B.
Whoa! Thatis all way too neat, tidy and organised! There is nothing in that bag that has slightly curling edges or anyhting like that….it’s inhuman, surely?
However, I’m very impressed that you have answered the tag so creatively!
Thank you for responding to my tag!
Wow. That is a lot of stuff. Is it heavy?
What is a dongle, by the way?
Wow, this is a Mary Poppins laptop bag!
Natural Blonde: thanks! The Microsoft certificate is crinkled somewhat. Oh yes, and you’ve been tagged.
SG: A dongle is just a name for a plug-in device.
FW: Mary Poppins has nothing on me. Oh yeah, and you’ve been tagged too!
But I’m really surprised that no-one wants to know what a T-Bar is. Or perhaps everyone does know!
What is a T-bar?!!
A Tea Bar is like a pub but only for drinking tea right? 😉
BTW thanks for the tag but, erm, where can I see that? Feeling dumb all of a sudden…
Oh I just saw it duh indeed! Well, I have an excuse, it’s 4.28 am my time! 😀
Thanks for tagging me. I hope that’s washable though haha
My god. You;re obviously a Time Lord; you’ve got some TARDIS-like machinery going on there…
When I get time (God knows when that’ll be…it’s all a bit hectic) I’ll do mine too 🙂
The T-Bar is a brilliant invention. It converts one’s laptop (or peecee) to a digital telvision/radio receiver!
That bag is the bloody Tardis ! That lot never came out of there !
How very strangely organised. I bet you can look at a fire without poking it and that you do not lick your finger and dip it in the bits at the bottom of a bag of crisps. Theres nowt so strange as folk.
Nowt indeed. I’m not as methodical as it looks. I just carry with me the professional stuff that I’m likely to need while I’m on site.
