While everyone else was worrying about the Millennium Bug (remember that?) Tim was still busy collecting toys. He didn't need to worry about that bug - he didn't have a computer at that time!

Rather than a suitcase, these are small toys that are stored in a small case rather like a briefcase.

Funky wraparound sunglasses...

A telescopic ballpoint pen...

A blinking eye in a Perspex cube...

A Japanese paper balloon...

An electronic laughing gadget...

A tie? No, a biro...

A ballpoint pen with lots of colours available; it looks to be around ten different colours...

Is it a duck or is it a rabbit?

A string climbing gadget - pull it downwards to wind it up, and then it climbs the string.

Is it 14 characters or is it 15?

A racing car with another vehicle inside, and then another vehicle inside that one.

Finally, Tim gives himself a round of applause with the clapping hands toy!
