Is it just me or does everyone have a huge load of crap filling their pockets? In an effort to avoid doing any work for a further couple of minutes, I have turned out mine onto the table:

House & Office keys
£4.37 & €2.80 in loose change
Extension lead for headphones
Mobile phone
4 tissues mostly used. Yuk
3 bits of unidentified plastic wrap
2 propelling pencils
Notebook
Missus Ming’s CV
iPod & headphones
Business cards
Wallet (stuffed full of yet more crap)
CCK flyer
Half-finished crossword
Receipt from Gerry’s Wines & Spirits
2 plectrums
Assorted dust

Look in your pockets right now and post what’s in them. I’m not actually all that interested but I really don’t want to do any work today so even the most feeble of distractions will do.

USB memory stick
And, that`s it.
My overfilled pockets were the main reason why I started carrying a handbag. I look like a pufter, but my pants do not drop to my knees.

Hmmm… interesting… is it more masculine to have bulging pockets or to carry a manbag? OK, it’s probably most manly to be able to afford somebody to carry your stuff for you but I’m guessing most Crappers aren’t oil billionaires.

Fess up, brew - I’m counting jacket/coat pockets too - and what’s under your hat.

Jacket and coat?
it`s 29°C over here, my friend. Shirt and pants.
And my pink manbag

It’s 14°C in London and bloody freezing. There are huskies looking for food in the bins on Regent Street and a tramp has frozen to the pavement opposite my window. I’m wearing a hat. Indoors. I’m emigrating, I swear.

$83.92 in cash and change

knife
usb drive

mp3 player
black berry on belt
40cal XD and extra mag

And my pink manbag

I’ve got a pink manbag but I use it exclusively to carry about my bollocks.

Finious, how on earth did you manage to put a 40cal in your pocket?

Tell me about it. I can barely bring myself to look. Randomly, I’ve just pulled out:

A small triangle of red rubber picked up as a sample for fuck knows what.
£20
$1 bill
Assorted maxed-out cards
A card for a “Pony Club”
Post it note marked “skim plaster, filler, jointing tape”
A pile of random bits of paper and receipts which are on the verge of decomposing into compost

Post it note marked “skim plaster, filler, jointing tape”

Been there, done that Tiles due next week

Same here - though I’ll be ignoring them until Missus Ming threatens to leave me unless I finish the kitchen. What’s wrong with living in a building site?

So what if the kid can fall from unfinished balcony?

Precisely. Who cares if the quantity of brick dust on our plates is greater than the food? Who needs doors anyway? And What’s the point of shelves and wardrobes when you can just have boxes all over the place?

What`s the point of having a rail on your stairway?

What’s the point of having a staircase? Ladders and ropes work just as well and add a touch of adventure to going about the house.
