mart Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 No, they'll think I'm the man who robbed the area manager on his way in ;);) ha ha like it. With a carrier bag, there is less chance of being mugged, especially if you already look like a vagrant. Ruck sacks are very good, but there is this risk of "slittling by the sly" using a stanly. It happened to me, but they "got knowt" as my RS was double skinned. So, don`t use a RS for valuables if you go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 A girlfriend is the answer! ... I was seriously contemplating buying a man-bag but the very thought turned my stomach. Suddenly a brainwave (one of many, I hasten to add) ... buy the girlfriend a really big bag ... she takes one everywhere in any case. Problem solved, plus I was in the 'good books' for buying her such a lovely new present. Picture the conversation (or, along similar lines to) ... AB ... 'Oooh darling ... could I pop these books, helicopter parts and other sundry in your bag ... it'll save me damaging the pockets of my lovely moleskin waistcoat?' G/F ... 'Of course beautiful handsome darling AB ... it's the very least I can do for the man that bought me a lovely big bag out of sheer unadulterated generosity!'. AB ... 'You're such a lovely girlfriend dear girlfriend ... I have an idea! When I get round to it, I'll fit some small wheels to the underbelly of the bag to prevent you dislocating your shoulder again!' G/F ... 'You lovely, lovely man AB! ... come here and give me a kiss!' Win win situation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't stand in a queue at a bank with a credit card bill in your hand with your number showing. I thought I heard a noise but didn't see anything. Next day someone is trying to order plane tickets. ---------- Post added 15-05-2014 at 22:48 ---------- A girlfriend is the answer! ...
