Pierre Von Mondragon Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 A catch-all thread covering various crap that people have bought and wish to tell the world, that isn't albums or something else the is a thread on already. The more ridiculous/embarrasing/pointless the better.In all three categories for me, yet still ace; Babylon 5 series 3 & 4 boxsets, ah its good to see the old crew, What with Galactica n'all, I forgot how good/funny/shaky of set B5 is.

delboy Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 i received a DVD review of the 2007/08 season in the Blue Square Premier this morning. On the plus side it cost me fuck all! on the downside i had to re-live the agony of cambridge being turfed over by exeter in the play off final all over again!

KittyCat Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Most recent buy was a dress. Spent a small fortune on it but it's worth it because it looks great on. Just got to get the shoes and the handbag now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Over the last couple weeks or so I've bought a Powerball, about 30 of books I'll probably never read (including the new Danny Wallace book- it was 1 extra for a signed copy off play.com, but you only live once...), 5 guitar wall hangers, a Whitesnake t-shirt and nearly 100 plectrums.Add this to a ridiculous amount of clothes, a new laptop, camera, gig tickets, DVDs and other such delights- now to deal with being poor...

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Some kids laughed at my Acid Preppie (don't ask)* look in Kefalonia 2 years ago, I just made the pointy fingers and said; 'stylin'', which I think they knew the meaning of, as style is a word of Greek origin. Well they laughed more anyway.*Like a preppie, thats taken lots of acid, and isn't quite right anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
