    Wallet, phone, keys
    Sooner or later you have to add glasses. Plus camera, what if you haven't got one and see some exciting weeds? I often carry a "man" bag, however, I always use a cheap scruffy old free thing I got from some exhibition as:

    a) You won't look worth robbing.
    b) It is not the sort of thing any gay man would be seen dead with so you don't get beaten up or picked up. If you have to spend as much time hanging around Kemptown, Brighton as I do recently this is important.

    Mickey Rourke with man bag, or a huge wallet. And if you still feel like saying something, he was joined by David Haye and Joe Calzaghe.

    However do you need to carry the ipad and a bottle of water round with you at all times?
    Get yourself a phone you can use for any immediate browsing needs and learn to go more than 5 minutes without having a sip of water

    and get a smaller wallet... bank notes do fold and you don't need every bank and credit card with you

    I was looking at some 1948 Olympic photos, and spotted these fine specimens:



    Impressive pockets or what. You could fit an entire week's shopping in those, and they would prove invaluable for Ryanair trips too.

    Ah but fat boy, it wasnt I, you were agreeing with a man who was mocking you, but too dumb to understand that he was.

    That my friend, is priceless humour.

    I'd like to get an old laptop, pull the innards out, attach a strap, and use it to carry stuff about in.


    (also you could do this with a dead cat but it's too soon for that I think)

    No, but it is funny shaunnyboy, a man so feminine, that he is discussing his body shape and heavy weight on a forum, a man who is scottish, a nation identified by their penchance for wearing skirts with purses who is mocking someone who wears a satchel.

    Its genuinely too funny to know he doesn't understand the irony of it all.

    This is almost funnier than finding you need acting like a woman talking about how you dont like your body and discussing how you are losing all your lard.

    The stupidity is strong in this one it is.
