Manbags

So, do you carry a bag Bags?

In the old days, all a man needed were keys, money and maybe a packet of fags. The modern world has changed all of that. Now we need keys, money, credit cards, phone, charger, duct tape, viagra, iPad/Kindle/Laptop, glasses, aftershave...the list is endless!

I must confess, I do carry a smart leather manbag, with the strap crossing my body diagonally. I do worry that it gives off the impression that I'm open to some surprise sex from those of a different persuasion.
I used to carry a small daypack, but She Who Casts No Shadow said it looked unprofessional, and on the odd occasion I carried stuff in a plastic bag, she accused me of looking like a Turk (It's the German equivalent of being called a Pikey). 

See, no one is responding because of your neanderthal views. You still live in the 1970's.

I'm afraid nothing beats 70's disco music. It was, and still is, the dog's borrux.

Now, if we were at a 70's disco night, you'd still be stood at the bar, pint in hand, leering at the ladies dancing round their handbags, wishing you could meet/talk to one of them, but knowing deep down you'll have to look for a ten-to-twoer......and I'd just walk up, place my manbag with their handbags, and start my moves, which will probably result in me going home with the stunner. 

Nope, it's gulash with noodles tonight.......or I should say that is what it is intended to be. What actually appears on my plate will probably be nothing like that.

She's going out tonight, so at least I don't have to listen to more of her Horst Wessel CD's.
I shall sit down and watch Eintracht Frankfurt play the second leg of their relegation play-off game. They drew 1-1 at home in the first leg.

Living the dream.

Keys, phone, wallet, reading glasses, sunglasses, Kindle, aftershave, condoms, viagra, duct tape, rohypnol, van keys, rope, sweets, passport.

I forgot about those items........Really, in Germany you do carry a spare bag, usually a cotton one, because here you have had to pay for plastic bags in shops for years. It's about 10p for a really crap thin plastic bag, or 15p/20p for a better one (if there is such a thing) so everyone carries a cotton bag around with them in case they do a spot of shopping.

I don't put the Fez in my manbag. It'll get squashed. I wear it on my head of course.......where else would you put a Fez?

I do't carry indigestion tablets, but I do carry my daily intake of tablets for my ticker, which currently stands at ten tablets a day.

Why do I eat it?.......I've seen a few photos of her relatives from around WW2 time.......there were a few uniforms on show that raised the eyebrows I can tell you. I tend to keep schtum.

Um......Indiana Jones has a manbag !
