Men and their drawers


Jono

Recommended Posts

Ahem spelling Jono. draws - drawers. When you consider that this word is also used to refer to mens' undies, you can understand why the first sentence of this thread made me laugh rather hard.;)

Edit: you wrote 'crap' as opposed to 'rubbish' originally!

Yep, old letters and statements in one drawer with old computer stuff next to it (including an old broadband modem and DVD drive for some reason). Bedside cabinet is full of old CD's and games and really, really, old magazines.

You know a good topic, what's under your bed? Yikes, so much crap, and dust.

As a point of interest, what are you supposed to do with all this crap if it doesn't go in a drawer?

I have: gig tickets, CDs, DVDs, spare printer cartridges, a dictaphone, 2 phone chargers, my old mobile, house keys for my parents' house, a key to the garden shed and a big organised file of bills and other important documents.

But keeping keys on a key rack means they are easy for someone else to steal. Sure, the keys to a house in London aren't particularly useful to a Nottingham thief, but even so. Plus I have no use for them right now. Oh and there's no point putting anything like that in a house I'm moving out of soon.

Yup - old bank statements, phone chargers for phones I had 4 years ago, pay slips. packets of chewing gum. 1 sock and various other things too.

That really reminds me of my friend. I took her to our local court once (yep, that's what I do in my spare time, how sad :rolleyes:) and they searched her bag. It was hilarious, old sock, mouldy bananas, used tissues. *puke*

So the handbag is the female equivalent of the male drawer? This analogy works quite well actually.

I hate to think what the boyf has in the drawers under the table. I just know they're full of total junk with the odd important bit here and there. Bit like my handbags really - God knows why I choose to lug all that crap about with me on a daily basis? Keeps me fit I s'pose.

I once went out with a girl who carried everything in her hand bag. I once made her empty it all out. 4 year old bus tickets, empty makeup, club flyers, her p45 from the job she had last year. polos that looked so old that they probably cost 10p......I tried to throw some of it away and she stopped me!

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

The way I organise myself is sometimes more typical of a male way. For example, I don't often carry a handbag. I keep money, cards, keys and phone in my jeans pockets. The backpack I use for uni does tend to accumulate crap like various tablets I have to take, broken bits of pens, old lecture notes, bottles of water and sometimes even some food. I did find half a sandwich in my bag yesterday but luckily it had only been there a day!

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
