I've got
£90
$73
84 Euros
a cheque for £121 from my mum.
This clearly marks me out as an international player, able to drop anything and go and look after business abroad at a moments notice.
It also marks me out as the sort of guy who can afford to pay his mum's phone bill as well as his own, but the sort of guy who ain't lettin' no ho' get one over on him by ensuring she pays him back every quarter yo.
I've also got a Boots loyalty card, which I'm building up and building up without spending because one day I may need that shit and then I'll have Right Guard and Polytar locked down tight despite having no visible means of income. Sweet.

What does your wallet say about you?

You wanna get those Boots points spent before they go out of business.

I don't know what my wallet says about me but here is a list of its contents:
  • HSBC Maestro
  • HSBC Mastercard
  • Alliance & Leicester Visa
  • A hand written note reminding me to send someone a birthday card
  • John Lewis / Waitrose Partnership credit card
  • Boots Card
  • A fat wodge of M&S receipts for sandwiches dating back to summer 2008
  • Loads of 2p and 1p pieces, and a few 5p pieces too!
  • Fluff
  • A few bits of cat fur
  • An emergency menthol filter and a liquorice rice the cross

so you've got Euros as well as pounds in your wallet. That marks you out as an international player as well. Well done Lilo.

£5 note
A little note from a young child
Picture of a young child
Nandos Loyalty card with two stamps in
Nationwide Gold Card
MBNA Credit Card
National Insurance Card
Barclays Visa
Barclays Business Visa
Nationwide Visa
Membership card to a skatepark
Receipt from a local pub for £3.45

This is all in a koyono slimmy wallet.

What does this say about me?
Well I'm either a peodo or a father, I have eaten at Nandos twice, I don't carry much money around with me and I think it's perfectly acceptable to buy one drink down the pub with my card. I have too many credit cards, I'm in debt. I'm probably having a mid life crisis.

What on earth are these 'euros' to which you attach so much import? Must be something like an 'oyster' card, I assume.

people like you hold up the drinks at the bar, tippy tappying your number into a machine and then waiting for the 'other side' to respond and 'accept' your transaction. Meanwhile decent, hard cash paying players like me, wait thirstily for our turn to be served and fume at the student holding everythin up
"£3.05pee for a pint? Do you accept cheques?"

Our language is woefully inadequate isn't it?

So what business is it that urine?

I've just started reading PopCo, McDirts. Have you read PopCo? Is your job like PopCo?

no, it's not like Popco, which I just wiki'd to find out whether it was like popco.
Mu job involves advertising toys to kids. Although Misc, I have done 'real feel' plushes with that.

I should start using a wallet. I've got a rather elegant Swaine Adeney Brigg one, but don't like using it, or any wallet for that matter, but, equally, I've lost too many notes whilst taking a balled up collection of money and receipts from my pocket.

I only started using a wallet about 3 years ago after a friend gave me one as a present for being his Best Man.
I love it. It's one of the main things behind me becoming a player.

Dirto, I doubt your player credentials.
How many bottles of Cristal have you chillin' in your obnoxiously-large fridge? How many pimped-out rides you got in your garage, mothertrucker?

I crave a bacon sandwich, just now. With butter. And ridiculously too much crisply-fried streaky bacon.

There's a guy at the office who still can't help showing off his Pulp Fiction wallet every time he pays for something.
 -

I guess when asseenonscreen first started out it might've seemed sort of 'cool', even if a decade out of date. Then he bought some 'Morpheus' shades, etc...

I like to imagine the wallet was a present from his mum.
