Advantages: I learn about myself

Disadvantages: So do you!

I don't normally write "reviews" like this - reviews that aren't actually on a product. They boggle my brain. Why am I doing it, exactly? It's not like you're going to read this and think "Ooh, that sounds good, I'm going to buy the contents of his bag!" Are you just being curious? Dare I say nosey? Or am I just writing this as a vanity project?

Oh, I've stopped caring now. Let's look what's in the bag.

This is my work bag, so it's very much work-orientated. The biggest thing is my lunchbox, which earlier this morning included a chicken roll sandwich, a packet of Sainsbury's own cheese and onion crisps, a Tesco Value version of a Penguin bar and two clementines. These are the kind of lunches I told myself as a child I would never grow up to have. Where are the pizza sandwiches? Tins of Celebrations? Homemade chocolate cake? Nope, it's a nice and serious sandwich/crisps/fruit/biscuit combo. Just like daddy.

Alongside my box of nosh is my Nintendo DS Lite, sitting in a gold Legend of Zelda case (available from Amazon for £10). The DS Lite is a Navy Blue version, imported from Japan, and the games I have with it are 42 All-Time Classics (a birthday present from two years that I haven't stopped playing), Word Jong (an imported word game based on Boggle and Mahjong) and Zendoku (a ninja-style Sudoku game that I'm having trouble enjoying).

Elsewhere in The Bag, there is a small mess of bank statements that I haven't bothered to file anywhere, a spare tie, a bog-standard Nokia phone, a wallet from Burton with a bank card, a Nectar card and a Blockbuster card, and also, for some explicable reason, a load of empty money bags.

Looking at my collection of goods, with its budget biscuits and crisps, cheap-o phone and assortment of imported video games, I've just realised where all my money goes. It goes on video games. Not food or essentials. Japanese video game consoles. Why? Because they're blue, I guess.

So... that's my bag. I bet you regret being nosey now.

Summary: I wish I hadn't done this!
