Finally getting around to responding to Stratford Girl’s tag<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n

OK, let’s just get one thing straight.<\/p>\n

I am a boy.<\/p>\n

And boys don’t have handbags.<\/p>\n

As such.<\/p>\n

Some of us do carry laptop bags, so – for the purposes of this tag- I’m pretending that my laptop bag is my handbag.<\/p>\n

I don’t actually have a handbag.<\/p>\n

OK?<\/p>\n

Moving on…<\/p>\n

The first photograph:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is my laptop bag.<\/p>\n

Isn’t it pretty?<\/p>\n

No, that’s exactly my point.<\/p>\n

It isn’t pretty. It’s not a handbag. I’m not a girl.<\/p>\n

Moving on (some more).<\/p>\n

The second photograph:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In the first row we have:
\n<\/em>A USB cable for T-Bar
\nSticky notepad things from a posh hotel in Kildare I stayed in last summer
\nUSB cable extender for T-Bar
\nT-Bar driver disk, instruction manual
\nT-Bar remote control
\nT-Bar magnetic aerial and USB connector
\nCar\/House keys
\nPCMCIA driver disk
\nRG85 tone\/pulse converter<\/p>\n

The second row gives us:<\/em>
\nBank security device for doing internetting stuff with money
\nBlack marker and two highlighter pens
\nSpanish to English plug converter
\nUSB memory stick and extension lead
\nGreen and black biros
\nIbuprofen
\nUSB driver disk
\nUSB extension cable
\nParacetamol
\nChewing gum
\nMore Paracetamol! (no, I’m not a drug addict. I hardly touch the stuff! I just seem to be the office pharmacy)
\nOne Euro (Random! Don’t ask me what it’s doing there!)
\nBatteries (don’t know what for!)
\nRG85 cable (just in case I find myself in a place with no mobile internet signal and no WiFi hotspot)
\nSplit ring<\/p>\n

And in the third row we have:<\/em>
\nSpare batteries for digital voice recorder
\nInstruction manual for digital voice recorder (I’ve had it for a year now, perhaps I should chuck this?)
\nDigital voice recorder
\nMicrosoft software key\/security code
\nUSB cable for iPod
\nUSB cable for camera
\nOne replacement earpad for ipod earphones<\/p>\n

The third photograph shows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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:
\nThe Open University Arts Good Study Guide
\nA wodge of envelopes (technical term there for you)
\nFolder of invoices and bills
\nFolder of dressage tests in case I have five minutes to fill and I need to learn one
\nThe totally brilliant wipe on\/off dressage test board
\nTwo USB sticks
\nAssortment of pens and an electrical screwdriver
\nCD-RW
\nRandom red paperclip
\nPersonal and company cheque books
\nAirPlus driver on CD
\nCamera case
\nCertificate from Microsoft for doing something technical with software
\nA4 notepad<\/p>\n

And finally…<\/p>\n

The fourth photograph:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tells us what’s lurking inside the laptop bag, viz:
\nLaptop including 3g portable internet card
\nThree USB sticks and a USB Bluetooth dongle
\nBook on The Coliseum and Classical Studies notes<\/p>\n

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<\/em> in the bag, it’s in my shirt pocket.<\/p>\n

Nyah!<\/p>\n

Thanks for the tag SG. Sorry it took me so long to respond but I did so want to do it properly!<\/p>\n

And now I’m passing the baton onwards: Genevieve<\/a>, Natural Blonde<\/a> and Froggywoogie<\/a>. Tag you’re (all) it!<\/p>\n
