Another forum I post on once had a "What's on your desk?" thread. Some of the replies were interesting and intriguing so I thought it might be worth a go on here. I'll start:

Laptop;
CD/MD player;
1 speaker (the other's on the floor);
HDTV;
PS3;
Wireless controller;
Pair of Oakley Jawbone;
Pair of Vonzipper Fernstein;
Jewelry box full of cufflinks, chains etc;
3 football trophies;
1 football medal;
VB can cooler used to store Oyster card, train tickets etc;
A clock;
Small wicker basket full of change;
Oakland Raiders football helmet;
Postcard from Fremantle;
Model cars: MX5, MGB Roadster, London bus;
Paper bag full of receipts;
Cards: debit, HMV, Boots, work access;
Money;
Watch, rings, bracelet;
2 packets of Wrigley's Extra; and
Remote controls

    It's quite bad that I missed a lot of things as well. :oops: My desk's not even that big ... about the width of my bed (not length). Although, it does have some shelves.

    You should see me in uni. I pretty much claim a whole table when I do assignments.
