Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

big weddings suckThe biggest wedding I have been to was of a work colleague. The six months prior to the event were spent buying dresses for the bridesmaids that cost about £400 each, a dress for the bride that was well into 4 figures, hiring a posh scottish castle hotel, hiring the same stretched rangerover Madonna used.....Id be surprised if the bill was under £30k in total.
It sucked, the levels of bitchiness, disgusting displays of wealth and general "We Are CONSSSIDERABLY Richer Than Yow" made me want to vom.
When my sister got married, about 100 good friends were invited to her farm where a live band played, trestle tables were set and everyone ate barbecued lamb and got drunk. Easily the best wedding as far as a happy atmosphere is concerned.
