Trés geek

I have a secret fetish.

No, not that one. Another one.

I have an unhealthy lust for bags that have pockets and zips and secret places and velcro straps and adjustable toggles and things.

I was shopping for something to lug the new laptop around in the other day, and came across this little beauty...

case

It had me at "hello". Well actually it had me at the tag that said "Made by the same people who make Swiss Army knives".

And in fact it is the Swiss Army knife of laptop rucksacks. It's got bloody everything! Dozens of pockets; room for a laptop, gym kit, packet lunch and my SLR; it's even got a special section for an MP3 player with an external port for the headphones! (Which is extra-cool since Jessica bought me a wireless ipod remote for my birthday.)

I swear that there are pockets in this thing that I've not found yet. Yeah I know, it's geeky. Sue me. :-P
Blogger Jane  Cool bag! It's got room for everything. 
Blogger Gillian  "and came across this little beauty"

Steady!! thats taking it a little far.

Concidentally I share this love of secret pockets and 'places to put stuff' my current laptop bag is good but not that good, whats the manufacturer? I need one. 
Anonymous Fairly-Odd  That is a right cool bag... Did you label all that just for us? 
Blogger Howard Hill  I use this bag as my "briefcase" - I don't haul my laptop (don't have one for work) in it but I do haul all my work shi...stuff around in it.

I got it primarily because it had an outside pouch to put my water bottle in. Leaky water bottle + paper = lost work. Been there, done that.

The only think I really would like is a special spot for a pen or two. The organizer section has a spot to kind-of clip pens, but they come unclipped all the time so you end up fishing around the pocket for the pen. A couple of elastic loops would solve that. 
Blogger Becky  Gillian: it's a Swissgear Maxxum made by Wegner, couldn't find one good source of info on it, but you could try a search.

Fairly-odd: Er, yeah I did. [blush]

Howard, know what you mean about the lack of proper pen spots. Clip pens kinda work though. 
Anonymous Clair  I have an equal love of bags...probably the one thing that I get really 'girly' over...anything from the tiniest handbag to an 80Litre rucksack. 
Blogger Becky  So there you have it. Loving bags is girly, a Proper Real-Life Female Woman says so!

I am girly, me! :-D 
Anonymous emmyem  lovely bag! noticed that packed lunch and gym kit section are one and the same, I'd be a bit worried about getting my sarnies mashed into my regulation knickers! 
Blogger Karol Cross  Oh my god!
Another niche reveals itself - trannie bloggers with a zip fetish! Quick best start a blog! ;o)

I'm sure its a lovely bag Becky, I just hope I'm not stood behind you at airport check in while you try and find your passport! 
Blogger Becky  Ooops... Blogger borked my blog. Should be fixed now. 
Anonymous battery  [...]I enjoyed White Slave a lot - there were some great excess stories in it. I haven't read Humble Pie yet. I've got a copy of Heat by Bill Buford at home, which I'll probably read next. I've also got a copy of An Omelette and a Glass of Wine by Elizabeth David, which is great bedtime reading.[...]
