Sorry if you've just eaten but, lacking a bag I keep a lot of stuff in my bra. Landy keys, loose change in one side and my mobile 'phone in the other. My DIL told me today that I was at risk of breast cancer by keeping my 'phone in my left cup. Radiation apparently. What do you all think? And where do you keep yours!!?
-
In my back pocket if wearing jeans and if trousers with no pockets in the middle of the back of the trousers waist band.. Lol :innocent:
-
Bag or pockets if I have them. Bra if not!
-
You are all very lucky there is so much room in your bras! .... HH/J 's don't leave much space!! :innocent:
-
Yep, bra for me too! I don't have many pockets and the ones I do have aren't zipped up so the bra is the safest place.
Risk of death?? I don't think so! But we all die of something
-
I keep mine in my sporran (My bra is too full of newly hatched chicks at the moment).
-
Not enough room in mine for anything else but lil ole me, I carry a large red handbag - just in case i ever need to fight at dawn :innocent:
Not sure I'd want a mobile phone that close, mine reverberates even from my handbag, and it speaks to me when a text comes in - I'd have a heart attack! :roflanim:
-
Wow, you live and learn - I'd never thought of keeping anything extra in my bra, let alone keys or a mobile phone.
I've learnt never to keep my phone in a tight pocket, as I always manage to reject the call by squeezing the phone trying to get it out of pocket. I don't keep it in my handbag either, as I don't carry one around the smallholding :roflanim: I wear cargo trousers with zip up side pockets, so I have room for everything plus the kitchen sink, but can barely keep the trousers up for the weight. Zip pockets are good if you don't want your phone to go down the loo - commonest accident to mobiles apparently, and horrible to fish out. If I'm wearing trousers or skirt without pockets, the phone goes in a jacket pocket. For the summer, I have one of those jackets with loads of pockets - I can never remember which one the damn phone's in when it rings ::)
-
I've kept mine in my bra but when it vibrates, it startles me.
-
I am startled when my boobs vibrate, also :roflanim:
-
Always in my bra which is fine until I have to delve into my cleavage to answer it when it starts ringing (usually when I'm in the playground on school run)
-
Never thought of putting anything but the obvious in my bra :)
I wear my mobile on a lanyard if I don't have a bag or pockets
-
What do you all think of the health issue ie radiation from the 'phone causing breast cancer? By the way, my record is Landy keys mobile 'phone ,£2000 in cash, a bank card and 30 steroid tablets for a whippet!! ( could I have got the whippet down there as well? :roflanim:)
-
Bra,s like clowns pockets lol

Well I don't wear a bra ;D
But in general gents don't .....unless its the weekend :innocent:
Strangely enough, I have heard something similarly regarding gents keeping their phone in their front trouser pockets.

Personally I think the whole business of mobile phones and radiation is totally overstated, an 'expert' jumps up and expounds on a possibility which is then reported in the media and causes paranoia. Mobile phones transmit milliwatts of power at around 'microwave' frequencies, it's the phone mast that transmits power - but that is onidirectional (i.e. all around you) so you can't escape that anyway. The only real danger would be if you were right next to the mast antenna, the same for ANY powerful radio frequency transmitting antenna - you could suffer radiation burns.
I am a licenced radio amateur and have been using radio transmitters for many years at power levels up to 400 Watts at many different radio frequencies and bands sitting right in front of the transmitter and have not suffered any ill effects whatsoever. I also use a handheld radio which requires you to hold the set next to your mouth to speak and ear to hear the audio, it's capable of transmitting 10 Watts. There are a lot of radio amateurs who specialise in using microwave frequencies in the gigahertz regions at power levels far exceeding those of mobile phones, also suffering no ill effects.
So, for the pitiful power output of a mobile phone, I wouldn't give it a second thought or worry about it in the slightest.

Thank you Cosmore, for a while there I thought I may have to buy a handbag :relief: Though the thought of a red one...........hmmm :-\
-
So far as a chap I've not had this dilema ;D
-
So, where on earth do men keep things if they have no pockets??!!
-
Never put a mobile but I did once chat to a client at work for 45m with a newborn kitten in mine.. was only last few mins it started to mew and wriggle :D
-

Everything I own has pockets, I buy cloths with extra pockets just in case, combat trousers, overalls, bodywarmers with loads of pockets... My problem is leaving things in the pockets that then go through the wash...

38D, but don't wear a bra. :eyelashes: If I have to I wear one of those elasticky sports ones, but take it off as soon as I can. (ageing hippy) Phone? I always try to wear a poacher type waistcoat with more pockets than coat, so there's always somewhere. Ideally I'd like to do without the 'phone, but at the moment safety dictates (and in case of any emergency with the dogs) that I should carry it when I go out.
-
Well, that certainly stunned everyone into speechlessness :roflanim:
-
No no no no a picture has entered my mind and will not leave, not a bad picture at all really I kind of thought this would happen I'm a bad man lol.
-
Hey, if Charlie Dimmock could get away with it on TV, why shouldn't I without thousands of people watching the bounce? I don't RUN anywhere if I can help it! :excited: :excited:
-
That reminds me of when I was looking at bra's on a stall in our local market, belonged to a Yorkshire man.
"Aye ah reckon a 38 D" he said eyeing up my upper half. "Well" said I " I thought more of a 36 C" (I have a kind mirror) "Nay", said he "38D, if I'm wrong you can bring 'em back"
He was right ::) But after a bit of stress I am a 36C and too mean to buy new bra's hence the extra space ;D
-
"38D, if I'm wrong you can bring 'em back"
He was right
Obviously a salesman with a keen eye who likes to keep abrest of his customers needs.............!
-
I also keep my money, when I have any, in my bra.......as yet no one has tried to rob me :'(
-
In Leicester, where I used to live, according to gudjurati Asian friends it was referred to as 'the Bank of India'. :roflanim:
-
I just call it my breast pocket.
-
when I hack in just a T shirt I keep a few Trebor mints for the ponies in my bra!

I really do feel obliged to make a "blokeish" reply, :thinking: , nope better not.
And for the other non bra bearing chaps following this thread take my advice ( I'm not using it ) if you absolutely have to keep your mobile phone intimately close to you remember to turn off the vibration facility :innocent:
-
Ok.... I asked for that :)
I didn't mean ONLY a T shirt :dunce:

Don't bother with my mobile, but I usually have a camera in there while out and about in the garden....you never know what you will see...snakes, lizards, bee eaters, orioles. Want pics of them all!

There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared!—
Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard.
Just working on a modern version...
There once was a smallholder's bra
Which travelled both nearby and far
When used as a purse
It held snakes, lizards and worse
What finds in that smallholder's bra!
-
There once was a farmer from Doune
who found that her bra was a boon
She carried some eggs, all her keys and spare pegs,
foot spray and shears, old twine, tags for ears,
some packets of seeds and a spray for the weeds,
a bottle of milk and things of that ilk,
and now there's a chick in there too.
