A purple felt loveheart broach, made by my daughter when she was nine. I pin it behind my lapel and wear it (invisibly) when I have to go to cr**py meetings. Always cheers me up.

With or without a cab and what scale. Toy or model, I bet you still play with it!

I have a teddy-bear with a wooden leg.

The missus bought him for me and my dog chewed his leg when she was a puppy.
The missus wanted to chuck him out and replace him but he's been all over the world with me so there's no way I was having that.

I bought a length of wooden dowel, fashioned a short piece of it into a prosthetic leg, glued it onto what was left of his ball-joint and he's good as new.

A tiny little plastic cat literally like a few inches. With pink hair stuck to its back and it's blue tacked to my speakers on my desk. I keep it because its sentimental

Not singling you out or anything, woodbush but your list does seem to be representative of many posters in the thread. A rather disturbing insight into the immediate world of the DSer. Fags and booze. Magic marker and pen but nothing to write on? Dental brushes and not just one but TWO sizes. What are we to conclude?

From that description.

A smoker who enjoys a glass of cider, has a couple of pens to hand. And cleans their teeth?

The strangest thing on most desks is the person sitting in the chair. Why are they there and why are they spending so much time during work hours posting on DS, when they are being paid to do a job.

Could this be a winner? Fabulous, do you provide teddy bear hospital facilities on the NHS or do you charge?

One of those stuffed material hanging things saying 'Quiet please, genius at work', which I use as my elbow pillow.

Half a cup of tea and a crumb laden plate from the toast I've just had, my phone and the book, 'Little Rabbit Foo Foo'.

A mosaic coaster which I made myself and is weirdly empty as I've put my tea next to it, instead of on it

I've just supped more tea and again put it next to the coaster, I'm starting to wonder if subconsciously I don't want to sully my work of art.

A 15" x 10" London Underground map.

I live in the Scottish Highlands and am never likely to be in London again. I just like it.

I just looked up at my teddy, who lives on a bookshelf, he must be in his mid-fifties like me, and he smiled.
