Wallets do you have one and what do you carry in them?

    I've only ever had a wallet once....lost it the following week. Along with the following:

    ATM, Visa, Driving Licence, Video, Gym, Tesco, HomeBase Cards
    Money
    Soveniers
    Ace of spades playing card.

    So my question is do you carry a wallet?
    If so what do you have in it?

    Thats true of many smart people, and its actually quite funny how some of the smartest people have little knowledge of other things. While discussing weapons in 6th class i remember we where saying how a bullet from a revolver fires at a bullet at a slightly slower speed than a bullet from a standerd pistol with a clip and that smart guy said "whats the point in that could you not just jump out of the way" i guess you had to be there but it was very very funny

    Wow this is why I dont understand people who carry around wallets!! If you were to lose this wallet you would lose all your ID's and cards were as if you did not carry around a wallet the most you would probably lose would be cash and your ATM card.....

    So why do people carry around wallets known that if they lose them they will lose every single card they have?

    Cos most people aren't idiots/children and arre prefectly capable of minding there own stuff. Anyway its easier to lose cards when you don't know where they are.

    reciepts so I can trace what happened last night.
    pub 1, pub 2, pub 3, abras, mc donalds, tescos. Usually wake up to lots of weird food in the fridge, only the receipts show me that I bought it, my old housemate was the same, its the curse of 24hr supermarkets, stuff was all going mouldy in the fridge, nobody knew it was theirs and presumed it was the other persons.
