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).

It's a kit. For sewing.

It's for reattaching the limbs of his fallen enemies. Obviously.

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.

emergency coffee; emergency sugar; emergency tea bags; emergency ketchup;

That's a lot of emergencies there - got a tin foil hat as well?

My draw at work contains a spare tie, name badge, safety shoes, bakers hat, and then all the paperwork (crap junk) out of my pigeon hole. I have a weekly chore of moving it from my pigeon hole to my draw then once a year i empty the draw to the bin!

Haha... just went in with the aim of buying three things that I'd never heard of before based on recommendations of the Local Record Shop guy.

I think we should follow this up with a 'show us your desk' thread.

sucklingmatt - Member
and what did you get Yeti??

He got the [Rude word] Buttons and some others he can't remember.
No wonder I didn't understand. Local Record Shops aren't something I've done for about 20 years!
