The junk drawer contains many items of no immediate use, tucked away with the thought that they may be useful sometime in the unforeseeable future. The contents being:
Batteries, envelopes, pincushions, rubber bands of various sizes, egg timers, pins (loose and not in the pincushions to adds an element of danger), advice on winning the game Hangman every time, receipts dating back decades at least, every pen you’ve ever lost, & dried-up glue bottles aplenty.
