Still here? To answer your question it's one of these. And for some weird reason he also feels the need to carry a seperate penknife. Don't ask me why.

Handkerchief for me, tissues for son or wife.
Leatherman blades (in the legal-to-carry models anyway) aren't as good as a penknife with decent steel.

Sure I do ..... Often a waist bag...do you call that a bum-bag ? If you sneer I don't care... \it lightens the pockets, makes the jacket more comfortable and less pocket wear... at the gym I just chuck everything safely in the locker, and I never lose things ( Not never...but so far !)

You don't happen to be a whittler do you? A whittler who regularly causes upset to his wife and son on family days out.

I use a Technics record bag for work for my lunch, drink, deodorant etc, wouldn't use it for anything else though.

Either or, i'm the one with the manbag maximising my capacity to hold unnecessary stuff

A different kind of pasty
Working in Croydon now, I have been known to wear pink shirts and camp it up a bit just to wind the resident Palace fans up. And as we're not actually married, I always refer to Mrs P as "my partner" to keep the ambiguity going.

Inspired by this thread, I used my manbag on Friday and yesterday, putting all the stuff I normally fill my pockets with in it, apart from loose change and a hankie. On Friday, I lost the car key and this morning I went out with the wrong (empty) wallet which I only discovered after I'd ordered a coffee in a cafe. I'd left my full wallet in the manbag at home. I'm not convinced....
Put everything you always need in the man bag and then all you need to do is remember the man bag. Simples.

....but surely your predicament arose because you didn't use your man bag not because you did. I think it's a bit unfair to start scapegoating your man bag in this situation. You need to start accepting some responsibilty yourself

True, marlowe. I've given it a few more outings with more success by using it as a substitute for the normal rucksack at work events and keeping wallet and keys in pockets. I still find a rucksack better for going to the footie as it leaves more handsfree balance for jogging through Bishops Park.

I'm pleased to hear things have improved. I did feel slightly responsible for you not being able to afford your coffee even though we had never even met. It made me realise how such a small insignificant decision to start a thread on a forum can have such a huge and detrimental impact on innocent people's lives. I will make sure I carefully consider all the possible repurcussions of my actions in the future and try not to behave with such reckless abandon. Having said that even when carrying a man bag I always still carry my wallet in my jeans pocket.

Luckily, the cafe in question (the one on the Undercliff at Ovingdean) gave me the coffee when I said I'd pay them back the next time I was there. Which I did last Sunday. It may have helped that I'd just done beachcleans there.
