None - but that's not because I'm 'grown up'!
Is that Windows 2000?
Looks like XP with the 'classic' theme. IIRC, the 'remove media' icon was different in W2K.

No idea. I just use it to do sums.
I've got a Sapim nipple driver that's a very satisfying twiddle when I'm on a call.
I've got a penguin shaped stress thingy - minus it's head though 🙄

I have a phone, two normal tea cups, one mint tea cup, invoices, magazines, paper, wallet, iphone, doctors MRI referral letter, tobacco and a phone.
I'm going to build a tower.
I have a milk analyser on mine. Fun to play with and it annoys the rest of the office!
RC chopper.
Two lego photoframes, plasticine penguins and some origami
A multicoloured stuffed giraffe (his name is Mongoose)
Single cab (open backed?) Landrover dated 1974 underneath from my childhood sat on my desk. Found it when my Mum moved house 😀
Just noticed under a pile of other stuff, despite the lack of toys, I do have the Viz 'Big Book of Filth'. It's an essential reference tool
Two toy F1 cars (both Williams' - Coulthard '93 and JPM 2001) and an F3 car (N. Minassian, 1997).
All except JPM are now missing their wing mirrors.
A 2' skeleton, two inner tubes, a Tiagra front mech and a Middleburn drive side crank arm.
2 Elvis dogs
1 handmade Perry the Platypus(my advanced higher class thought I looked like him when I was angry)
A bobbing head Angus Young.
Does a multitude of Apple devices count? I think so. I love a bit of Reckless Racing now and then when working.

Looking at my [s]tip[/s] desk, I see that I have a set of three PG Tips chimps (one festive, one small with suckers on its hands, one normal), a bike pump, an empty Marmite jar, an Arduino and assorted wiring and some habanero Tabasco sauce.
The rest is my work rubbish, including a Wacom graphics tablet, two laptops and a desk phone.
Hang on. I've just seen a jar of artichoke hearts in olive oil under some paperwork! EPIC WIN!

You people have desks? We have shared tables and a personal drawer - everything has to be cleared at night.

Some days, my job is amusing 🙂
3 toy cars. A china cow. A squeezy red phone box for stress relief. A red wooden fish. And the three musketeers and d'artagnan. And on the cupboard next to my desk is selection of photos from my trip to the Alps last summer 😀
My RC drifter for when I'm really bored.
Again not on my desk, but in the back office... Yess its a mess!

I don't have a desk but am surrounded by toys most of the time.
couldn't possibly list all the toys around me right now, sorry.
Kewl @ Morph btw.
I also got a Chas plasticene kit. Must get artistic sometime.
A motorola 2 way radio some speakers for when Im on my own so I can listen to the radio or watch F1 practice. Does a DMR mug count? And a tape measure.
iPhone, for playing Galaxy on Fire 2
Bouncy ball, which never gets bounced 🙁
I don't have a desk, but if I did I'd not have any toys on it. A framed picture of Kenny Dalglish maybe, arms aloft.
a new set of dental moulds after a crash on the ice at crimbo
Loads of dust (seriously, loads of it)
Some sort of strange little kangeroo thing (covered in dust) given to me by a nice Aussie girl that worked here for a few months
One of those googly eyed bug things that people use to advertise things no-one's really interested in (covered in dust)
A funky monkey out of a Kinder Egg (also covered in dust)
I should really clean my desk 😕
I have this fella

He's been a little poorly so I've been nursing him.
This baby

This little lady

and one of these

Roper 😯
What type is the one in the first pic?
Does it bite and are we safe from them here in the UK? 😉
The first was a rather angry European funnel web ([i]Macrothele calpeiana[/i]).
They are not native in the UK but are in Andalucía in Spain, and Gibraltar , where their name comes from. They do bite but are not dangerous at all. Just a little mardy 🙂
matt_outandabout - MemberI have some 'toys'
What do Petzl think about that GriGri copy, there? 😯
I have a stuffed, toy sized, reindeer. So not a full sized one just to be clear.
I'm glad I don't work in ropers office.
Thanks Yunki thats the little ones next [i]whatever-[/i]day present sorted 🙂
