a desktop link to this forum. some of the threads beat any toy any day!
The first was a rather angry European funnel web (Macrothele calpeiana).
I'm guessing they're the fun ones that live in the wall in my MiL's garden in Extremadura, you poke a little stick in the end of the funnel and watch them jump out to attack. Good to know what it's called!
I've got a wooden turtle, and a usb cup heater that never gets used. Need more toys, really.
An RC helicopter and a Singletrack mug and calendar. The bloke next to me has a bottle of Dettol spray, which probably tells you how messy my desk is.
its as exciting as a corporate stress reliever in the shape of a derrick
and a caffetiere - largely because im never at my desk for long.
- my dash in my van has a small metal london bus and a ceramic splity vw bus stuck to it though 😀

then yes. They are mainly nocturnal but would bite if you stick you finger in, though they can live as far as 2 metres underground. They are called La Araña Negra de los Alcornocales in Spanish.
(I had a brood of 101 slings earlier this year 😀 )
a little model of a ct scanner - a ge lightspeed to be precise
and a monkey riding a motorbike
What do Petzl think about that GriGri copy, there?
It has been around a few years and has a couple of advantages supposedly, so going to play with it and see. Better made for a start it seems.
I have a Flat Eric soft toy on my dashboard...Once stopped at a zebra crossing, and the guy decided not to cross but come to my window to try and buy him...in heavy traffic! normally just raises a smile from adults or pointed fingers from kids 🙂

I have no toys on my desk. (1) the desk isn't large enough and (2) I always like to be in a position to pack and leave quickly (hence no family photos, etc.).
Yes, I am that paranoid.
I have:
9 phones
4 fossils
1 squishy sumo wrestler for use as a a projectile during office wars
a book of 1000 recordings you have to hear before you die.
Some of you are paid far, far too much and have far, far too tidy desks!
I just have my paper aeroplane page a day calendar, an Ipod Touch and a small badge bearing the legend "W*****" on it to keep me humble.
Just found my indoor RC helicopter under an A1 map of the internet! Off to charge it up before a quick spin round the office.
