i Just noticed I've got all sorts of really random stuff in my pockets. So i was just wondering what everyone else has in theirs - not an interesting topic but i'm a strange person....

Ok in my pockets i have:
(all these things are genuinely, currently in my pockets - scary but true eek)
1 New Zealand dog whistlemy wallet2 pairs of antique nurses scissors1 egg-shaped candle with a picture of a eurasian badger on it1 packet of tic-tacs (spearmint flavour)1 first class stamp, plus several inches of the envelope it was formerly attached toa bundle of tissues (cos i have a cold at the moment)1 wierd clip thingummy that attaches to the side of a soldering iron to stop it from falling on you when you're not using ita small mound of metallic confetti shaped like sundry teeny stars, many 60's and the occasional bit that says "over the hill"


I think that's everything rolleyes

I can't speak for anyone else obviously but in my case; some of it was in the pocket of my hoodie (which i bought in Sydney whilst you were eagerly avoiding me).

other than that it wasn't very heavy stuff and i'm mostly sitting down to use the compootle... hug

hook's bane- i do know a canadian joe, it's a fairly safe bet he's got at least one of my lighters...
and ade- personally i wear a belt. and very baggy trousers. It's a highly successfull technique, and even worked on friday when i had all that lot, a phone, 2 sets of poi and a litre of water also. And probably a lighter (at least when i went out).

thank goodness you added that! I thought for a moment you had pockets big enough to accomodate a "pocket" dictionary, which would quite obviously make you a very scary person indeed!

2 potato chip packets (empty) folded into neat little triangles




hey! someone else does this too!! I always fold 'em up like that. for some reason, this implies to some people that i am therefore obsessive compulsive.... umm

I fold up bus tickets like that too. So if you're ever on a bus anywhere in the world and you see a little paper triangle right in the middle of an empty seat, you can assume that i put it there.



If however, you see that it's on the empty seat next a bedreaded someone who might be called "strikingly handsome" by a gay medical student from Ann Arbor, Michigan ( tongue )... then i have no idea who that guy is. Please don't aproach him. I think i heard he bites.



yes that's it. He bites strangers...especially ones that smell of kero.

No no - bus tickets have to be folded concertina-like, lengthways then cross ways and retained in the pocket for months ahead for continuous fiddling and folding pleasure or until they flip out of your fingers whilst you're busy fiddling and folding....

I do this all the time but then have a tendancy to flick them at people. Maybe this should go on the strange desires/habits thread.

I can leave the crisps/sweet wrappers in their neat little trianlges - it's just the bus tickets I can't leave alone - they flip out at other people in a random manner and launch themselves over the person sitting in front of me...

I don't care if I'm normal - just give me more medication!
