What's in your man drawer?

I have 7 batteries, instruction manuals for every watch I have ever owned except the one I'm wearing, cables for CD players, MD players, diaries that have no entries, bank statements, pens, rulers and a £5 coin.

I don't have a 'man drawer'...ridiculous concept.

However, I do have a 'man welsh dresser', a 'man set of drawers', a 'man under the stairs area' a 'man electrical cupboard' and two 'man sheds':Razz

With the apparent increase of sales in the "Man Bag"...I don't think the phenomenom has reached the Northern climbs of Caithness....more for the London fashionasta man perhaps?...correct me if I am wrong gents! (perhaps our Northern Scottish blokes still enjoy their caves...sorry sheds!) Pray tell what a man carrying such a bag carts about with them, I do know the odd camera, wallet land in my handbag for carrying when we travell off somewhere and this prompts the question is Dt ready for his own "man Bag"? Men rarely have a supply of wet wipes, hankies, lipsalve etc but are happy enough to scrounge from lady bags....oh change is a coming!

'man under the stairs area'

Is that like a naughty step?

[poppett]

Right there with you Kathy. On an outing I never get away with a tidy wee handbag, even though that would suit my needs, as I have so much troch to hake about for my OH.

Me and my OH couldnt move for laughing at that about the man drawer!

The man drawer in this house is full of non essential junk. Batteries, dozens of alan keys, screwdrivers etc etc etc! its packed. And i never go near it. :D

You must buy your OH a man bag, saw a man in wick with one yesterday!!they need it for their hair gel, hair spray, tweezers, batteries,shaver,pen,magazine, bottle of lucozade,chocolate and a sandwich.

I used to live in the central belt many moons ago and one day at work i made the statement that "real men dont use moisturiser"..... the backlash from the males I worked with was astounding! seemingly they not only moisturise but have a "regime" that involves lots of aftershave, hair gel and general preening.......hence the "man bags" in cities.......

Then again I also worked with a guy who was amazed that when he visited his friend who lived a few miles outside Inverness that when he left the house it was DARK as in DARK with no lights whatsover..... weird that isnt it , middle of the country at night is DARK .......

K ;)

[Phill]

Real men don't have Man Bags, they have a Wifey wiv her own bag to put our moist.....important manly things in!

Oooh, the USB lead! Is it a proper male / female jobby?
I'd swap you for dried out markers (colours - various) some old rolls of 35mm film and a handful of retractable pencils (no leads).

We have friends (both originally from the Inversnecky region but now living in Engerland) who visited a couple of years ago. The husband carried a man bag, mostly to hold his pipe, tobacco, lighter, Swiss army knife (for pipe maintenance) etc. It was starting to fall apart at the seams. I took them to Santa Barbara for the day, and his two teenagers were horrified when he managed to find a shop with shelves of them, and bought a shiny new replacement.

If I carry a man bag it has the name of a supermarket on the outside, and a six pack of whatever good beer is on sale this week inside.

[Stig]

Bet nobody has a combined shifter/lighter in their drawer. very useful too.

[cuddlepop]

I'd still be typing by bedtime as we have a "serious man drawer" and he know exactly where everything is ,even although we think its a "pigs sty":lol:

we darent throw anything out either as you never know when "he" might need it.;)

We also have a "man shed" that requires a risk assessment to enter.:lol:

All I have in my Man Drawer is a Little Yellow Man and here he is :-

I do not have a man drawer per se, I have man clutter.
However being a new age man in touch with his feminine side (bleurrgghh), metrosexual, PC, equality embracing and all that, we also have Wifey clutter [drawer].
But to outbid us both the kids have toypalm, it's like napalm but worse in a domestic environment.

[Rheghead]

I have in my mandrawer

several strangely shaped black plastic objects from consumer goods which I've since now binned which may have served as packing.
Several cables from memory drives
A spare ignition key from 2 motorbikes which I've proudly owned.
My first soft toy which no one will take from me except from my cold dead hand.
Batteries of course.
A spark plug in the original box
An old film camera
An old audio tape

Yes it has Kathy but it's called a sporran. I have seen very strange and unlikely items get hoicked out of sporrans.
