    Thinking of getting a man bag

    Any advice on man bags? Due to economic downturn I am thinking about making my own sarnies rather than spending an arm and leg at Pret, M&S etc. and need something to bring them to work in.

    I have an old briefcase but that is so 1970, my rucksack is too over-spec'd for commuting and carrier bags look a bit trampy. Can 40+ year olds use those messenger style bags without people sniggering behind their back?

    answers on a postcard..........

        Get a man bag if your gay

        Get a sarnie tin (with superted on) if your a child

        Get a plastic tub (with lid) if your 40+ and single

        Put them in your laptop bag (in a ziploc bag) if you have one

        When all else fails get a small rucksack

          You want one of these.
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            Don't worry what anyone else thinks, they do not matter.
            It is your bag, go with whatever you feel comfortable with.

                err am I missing something

                get you're butler to drop them off in the bentley and admonish him loudly informing him never to forget to bring them again, you might want to add with slightly hysterical/disbelief tone "WTF the f'ck have I told you about falcon eggs, Im not eating this sh1t, now go and get me some decent food" (obviously this wouldnt work if he had brought you unicorn eggs but you get the idea)

                I do like you attempt at looking "normal" with the homemade sandwich idea though, I might lower my own sandwich levels tomorrow and get the butler to make Foie Gras..
