I have papers, laptops and everything strewn everywhere. Might take some shameless pictures, although my GF has her stuff all over the place too at the moment.
EDIT-
Took the pictures, thought I'd add the snakes too as people often are curious.

I feel your pain. Every time my girlfriend is around, my desk is littered with random stuff as well. Don't even have room to move my mouse. Girls just need so many... things!

Nice! Can you tell me where you got that clock?
RE: Battlestations! - Ippytraxx - 31-08-2013

It'd be nice if firefox had "open image in new tab" in the image context menu, or if the site showed an image scaled down to fit in the window, and that image was a hyperlink to open the full-size image in a new tab.

There are add ons out there that add some of Chrome's menus to FF.

FF opens the image in a new tab if you middle-click on "View Image" in the context menu.
