Calling Aussie b3tans
Should you find yourself in Flagstaff Station in Melbourne, a good place to go after you die, the newsagent has put out a $1 box. It's full of old premiums pulled off the front cover of magazines - notebooks, charity tat, bags of various shapes and sizes (but similar lack of usability for more than two objects). I picked up a silver makeup bag with an attached sample size of Cum-In-A-Tube. The bag smells rather like it might be giving me cancer.

The thing that b3tans might enjoy are the cricket badges, including legends such as Phil Jaques. There is at least one badge of "Horny Warnie", which I battled with temptation over before realising that irony died after 9/11 and it is barely recognisable as the Sheik of Being An Utterly Scraggy Manwhore. But hey, if cheating on your hot blonde wife without even attempting to be discreet about it is your speed, why not commemorate it with a shitty, not even enamel badge for only one Australian dollar?

Similar bought.......
I bought some Jurlique skin care stuff - it put me off for ages as it had the consistancy and colour of spunk, although it did smell nice.

I visited
Victoria market in Melbourne last year. It's a veritable cornucopia of tat, some of which came back with me as 'presents' for the family. Flagstaff Station must be bad if it's even tackier.

I didn't buy a kangaroo scrotum though. Too dear.
