More seriously, I have:

A Singletrack calendar, a notepad (full), three pens (blue), a multi-bit screwdriver, £7.93 in assorted coinage, 1.3Gb of RAM in assorted DIMMage, three unidentifed power adapters, a pack of highlighter pens, a USB hub, a key to a car I no longer own, a 3.5" floppy disk (you never know!), a small stack of Post-Its in 'comfortable with my sexuality' colours, some raffle tickets (god only knows), a box of everlasting staples (I don't have a stapler), a 12" ruler that i don't use as a rule, five copies of SQL Server 2005 (assorted editions), two pins (for comedy value, I've been waiting four years now for someone to say "for two pins I'd...", still waiting), an envelope containing unclaimed expenses reciepts dating back to the early Jurassic, a knife / fork / spoon / teaspoon set, paracetemol tablets, ibuprofen tablets, vitamin C tablets, and a Homer Simpson key fob.

I should probably have a tidy out.

Well, I don't like to boast.

My drawer, on the other hand, is modestly proportioned. It contains an assorment of fairly small items.

Here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for... *drumroll*... it's the third and final installment in the thrilling saga of Cougar's Drawers(tm)!

Third drawer contains; emergency coffee; emergency sugar; emergency tea bags; emergency ketchup; an air duster aerosol (non-emergency); a scouring pad; a spindle of blank CDs; an official, mandatory-use corporate branded mouse-mat (not while I've got a hole in my arse); a lump of unidentifiable black plastic something that came off something else and will probably be very important if I ever throw it away; a PC speaker on a flying lead for testing purposes (so I can check for POST beeps); the box my phone came in (so it can go back in it).

I don't have a top drawer but my lorry does have a glove box so it contains...

Small map of UK
Map of London
ketchup
Brown sauce
Various chargers
Handbook for said lorry
Card for break down service

It would of had a copy of razzle but with the advent of the smartphone the jazz mag is almost redundant.
