julie205, in response to a thread elsewhere, said that she thought people who pay £ 8 for a packet of fags are off their trolley.
So what is it that other folks spend their hard earned pennies on that would make you think that they were off their trolley.

"Designer" stuff - often a rip off in my opinion.

iPads / iPhone
Overrated and overpriced purchased by people that have more money than sense and just want the badge.

I agree - (sent from my mac as ipad needs charging!) ;D

I have a passion for sunglasses and watches. Lost count how many of each I have but it's a ridiculous amount. I am making a big effort to stop buying them.
:D
-
Expensive tea's and coffee, status symbol designed to impress. There is very little that impresses me!
-
Handbags. Absolutely horrific that a bag can cost hundreds (and even thousands) of pounds. It's a bag.

it's a woman thing ;-)

That's right Lee :D

In no particular order - tattoos, membership of a gym, shampoo.

Agree with handbags and add shoes to that.
My mrs has probably 75 pairs of shoes, boots and sandals but will still come home from a shopping trip with more 'bargain shoes' ???

Agree with tattoos. I think if a gym membership is used regularly then that's fair enough sadly they seldom are. Don't need to buy shampoo personally 8)

Is blue touch paper money well spent ;)
-
I also think jeans - after a certain age I don't see the point in paying high prices for Levis or the like. Trainers I spend more on, but I do find the more I spend on trainers, the cheaper they are over their lifetime ;)
-
Body piercings. I understand ear piercing, but I dont get the need for tongue, nose, belly-buttons, nipples etc. Maybe it's just me??

What's wrong with my Prince Albert piercing?

And your problem is?? ............ ;)

I just don't understand why people pay huge amounts of money for a bog standard T shirt to advertise the designer's name. What is that all about? I think they should pay the wearer for advertising it! :P

Storage mainly. :(

Scunner your only posting about handbags etc. :o because your worried the housekeeping gets spent before you get a manbag for your Ipad ;D
-
Hotlips, you are spot on.
Trouble is where can you get a decent plain T shirt these days? It seems the designers are going for very small sleeves which are fine for the beach boy physique (maybe, a longtime ago!). I prefer the looser look these days though not a tent! Any ideas?

People are pointing to trivial sums - even for Scunner's iPod/iPad/iThingy. What about the Government deciding to add another £3billion to the £3billion already spent on preparing for the replacement of Trident even though no decision has been made, claims the Government, on whether to replace it or not? What will be final cost of the UK renewing its non-independent nuclear non-deterrent? Nobody can guess. Just think of a number, multiply it an equally outrageous amount, and then double it. Still, we can afford it with all the extra tax on public sector workers and cutting down on benefits for rest of us.

Thanks. I had thought it had be decided that CBF members might not have been grumpy enough to justify that forum. Glad to see that harmony and light has not been deemed to be universal.

I've always found the quality from this bunch excellent. Plus no large annoying logos.

Thanks for that Martin. A good selection there.
Sorry the remainder if we've veered off the humourous part of the thread. Please resume at your leisure as it was quite amusing.

What a waste of money - getting drunk
