Hello,
Just thought I'd post up a quick hello, and see where people are from, and also (inspired by some photos I saw recently) ask: What's in your bag?
Mine:
Canon Powershot S95,
Laptop (11inch)
Power cable / charger for Canon
Notepad
Memory cards
Pen/Pencil
Retro cars magazine
A bag of percy pig sweets, and a kitkat
And I'm based in Sheffield 
Josh
I change the contents regularly depending on where I'm going but this is my main essentials
Pentax K-5
100mm macro
12-24mm zoom

Piece of care windscreen cool /shader (cut to make a reflector)
Ikea shopping bag (cut to make a thing top lay / kneel on)

Spare battery
Pen (but stupidly - no paper)
Reading Glasses
Joby Gorillatorch
Scissors (Thanks Janet (Chase) )

Based upon what josh listed this looks more like a briefcase / handbag type question than a camera bag
Generally it would be a diary, pen, roll up waterproof jacket type thing, maps if I am going to another office somewhere for a day trip.
Not much else really, perhaps for going home I would also have newspaper, magazine bought at lunchtime.
