Waste of moneyI once paid a small fortune to a solicitor in a legal case. She got lost on the way to court, turned up late with the wrong papers and started an argument with the judge, who told her to "shut up, for the love of God". A stunning investment.
Thanks to golddust for the suggestion

Buying a boat.Yeah, it sounds like a brilliant idea at the time doesn't it.
I spent a fair proportion of a redundancy cheque on a half share of a boat. A boat ffs.
I used it once - the engine conked out before it got 10 yards. It sat unused in Penzance harbour before doing the decent thing* and sinking during a storm.
Still, at least some people were impressed by my owning a boat - unlike my PlayStation3. A boat says 'sleek' a PS3 says 'geek'.
And I'll briefly stab my psyche with a stick by bringing up my marriage. No I better not. Suffice to say I spent all my money on a wedding for a marriage that lasted 8 months.
* The fucking thing was underwater so at least I didn't have to look at it any more.
