Re: Describe your handbag and list its contents
 

i hate carrying stuff. the only thing i carry that i dont really need is a dessicated seahorse with no nose, other than that its usually just keys, mp3 player, sweet wrappers and money, usually a sketchbook and pen as well.

Re: Describe your handbag and list its contents
 

My pocket contents are similar: Wallet / Keys / Phone (used primarily as mp3 player), No bag of drugs though

In reality there's a lot more, but i stuff it into my wallet.

Re: Describe your handbag and list its contents

I used to have a blue one of those lights but it broke :confused:

Re: Describe your handbag and list its contents
 

Yeah I need a good backpack I can run in, otherwise it just slaps against your back and slows you down. Has that one got much storage space? Can I fit my lovely A4 sized important business documents* in there?

*aka crumpled up magazines.

Re: Describe your handbag and list its contents
 

Hell yeah! It's surprising how much you can get in it, and it can carry some pretty heavy loads as well. The bag is the most comfortable I have ever had and worth every penny. It fits really snuggly and is designed specifically for running so no bouncing off or digging into your back.

Oh, and it has loads of technical looking clasps and straps and stuff which is a bonus! :thumbpur:
