Hand stitched by a Indonesian slave child.

That child doesn't have it so bad: at least he's not forced to live in Birmingham

Nothing wrong with Birmingham thank you, but then I can't vouch for the quality of all its residents.

Beep - stop making people bring up Birmingham.

Chair, why keep your rape alarms in your bag? They're supposed to be to hand and ready to pull in case of emergency. I hardly think this rapist is going to watch you rummage through your lip balm and other stuff until you produce the rape alarm. And then there is the extra time you'll take choosing between the two. I mean, come on now.

Personally I take manbag to mean a rather jaunty messenger bag, of which I sport for almost all occassions.
As for its contents: wallet...uni shtuff....emergency Tesco bag for life....rape thank-you card.

Quality!

Currently in my manbag:

A cotton M&S 'Food to Go' bag
2nd Generation iPod Nano and in-ear headphones
Old, melted 49g bar of Dairy Milk
6 x 500mg paracetamol tablets
Oxford Handbook for the Foundation Programme
Obsolete ID badge and "Five Moments of Hand Hygiene" card in holder
Dogeared Pocket Prescriber book
Lanyard holding DECT phone and current ID badge
Stethoscope
Pair of bluetooth headband-style headphones
Mini Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine
Two tourniquets (one almost broken)
Sachet of Aquagel lubricant (!)
One broken paperclip
Elastic band
Umbrella
10 x assorted pens
3 x scrappy bits of paper
A packet of Smints

Do I get a prize, now?

Parts of the Saturday papers I keep meaning to read, iPod, wallet, umbrella, eclipse mints, tissues, an old copy of NME and a whole lot of dead grass. I usually have various books and readings for uni as well as computer and assorted chargers but those aren't in there at the minute.

I am a slave the satchel trend so I usually sport a Crumpler messenger bag just like this one. I think they used to be a Melbourne thing but I've seen their stores in Singapore so that's probably not the case any more.
