Gone but not forgotten: ig's green bag Position: Over ig's right shoulder From: Army surplus store - cheap - long, long ago Record: Ever-present To: The bin - free transfer - December 1999 It was: A constant in an ever-changing world
The contents of my green bag remain mysterious and ever-changing...and, unknown to me, have recently included a collection of six and twelve inch nails and screws from various unfinished DIY projects. As long as you've not got any cans of drink, it seems that you can take anything into a football ground these days....
 But the green bag's days are numbered. It is soon to go to The Great Army Surplus Store In The Sky, having been on the receiving end of one sarcastic comment too many from stewards ("Blimey, that looks like it's seen action in both wars!" and similar). A younger model, both more sensible and more stylish yet somehow not the same, is ready to take its place. A new bag for a new millennium, or something. The end of an era. Sob.
