h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have a satchel I carry nearly everywhere, except when I'm carrying a backpack instead. It doesn't usually have any food in it, though. Notebook, pens, current book, wallet, camera, phone, keys, odds and ends.

TRiG.

I often don't have a bag with me. People find out why this is when they feel the weight of my coat. It doubles up as luggage. Even better is my leather one - the lining of the pockets is ripped, so effectively the whole coat is now one massive pocket where things stay between the outer and the liner. It's brilliant! So I decided not to stitch them up

Jacket inventory (not the leather one):

Bottle of water
Phone charger
A number of pens, including a Tacky Titanic Tat one
A notebook
A phone
A camera
Tissues
A compass
A pair of gloves
A whole array of brochures for various different things
A keyring
Two books I'm reading (but one of them's only about 180 pages, so thin-ish)
A few bits of litter from when I wasn't near a bin to put them in
An elastic band
A fuse
A penknife
A passport
Some trade union membership forms
A map (of the Sperrins, oddly enough, where I haven't been for ages...)
Six or seven postcards
A few coins
Some batteries
A banana
A packet of scampi fries
A bag of dulse
and a lump of aluminium oxide.

You begin to see why airport security can be entertaining with a jacket like that.

like the last time Ihad an MRIscan, and had to take all teh metal things off of my posetion... I wasn't even wearing a jacket, just shirt with a pocket, and my jeans and their pockets... the radiologist thought my collection from my pockets rather amusing... I would have thought it slightly embarasing too, were I the sort of person who did embarasment

My leather jacket always also seems to hold enough space for what won't fit in my jeans and shirt...

Mmmm, I hate trousers without pockets, but probably ought to wear them more.

Nothing edible in my bag. I always have some non-sugar peppermint (or lemon)drops with me, though.

I’ve never had a man bag, cant see me wanting one, I have well organised pockets, starting with the essentials, money (lots of loose change), wallet and phone.
Always have a small bottle of water, painkillers, reveal implant activator, sun gigs, reading glasses, leather gloves , a wad of winning scratch cards, as the song goes, I’ve got no bags or baggage to slow me down.
I frisk my self down to ensure alls in its right pockets before I set off anywhere and I seem to become very conscious if anything moves or is missing.
Food, that’s bought and eaten there and then so never gets to see a pocket.
Now if we were to talk about my old car, well, what it didn’t have in it's, you name it, it was ing somewhere.
Things grew on it, in it, lived in it, a mobile eco system it was, things could be found in there prior to manufactures putting sale by dates on things, it was a right venerable mobile zoo, come mobile librarys, come skip.
Seems strange to be so polarised, organised by person but bohemian when it came to my old jalopy.

Restocked the office emergency supplies today (photo on Twitter for all you tweethearts out there....)

Bar of Marmite chocolate (most random item of food ever, according to the offspring. It's actually rather tasty, not unlike the sea-salt Lindt stuff)

Tin of crab pate. Had this today for lunch with
bag pita chips.

Cupasoup - hot and sour flavour
Japanese rice crackers
Haribo tangfastic
Tic-tacs in grape flavour
sardines in tomato sauce
Jar pickled eggs
Multigrain pringles
Instant bovril
go-ahead yoghurt bars

“Bar of Marmite chocolate”, .



Marmite

Who on puts these combinationstogether

Instant Bovril? But Bovril is instant isn't it? Spoon it out of the jar, add hot water, Robert's your father's brother! Have there been new developments in the world of Bovril these past 13 years since I left Blighty? Are the Andes? Whither must I wander?

Bovril is instant, yes, this was a little pack of handy portable single serve bovril cups. (They were cheap)

Your tangfastics are making me wonder what happened to Maynard's Sours. They wee the best sour sweets, but they don't seem to do them any more.

That kind of sounds like my shopping list for the 24 hour gaming event this weekend...
