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?

I bought some very cheap tat...Not having a lot of money available, I sometimes have to deal with salvage to get the things I need. I had to have some basic farming help/equipment, so I made a deal with the local junk peddlers for a couple of robots. It turned out that one of them had some old data in it that my idiot nephew found, and the damn fool ran off with my robots! When he gets back from seeing that old bugger who lives out in the desert there'll be hell to pay.
...hang on, there's a knock at the door...

Thanks ChickenladyI thought I was the only one who didn't have a clue! I know now, but still can't picture myself actually watching the film!

You can lead a horse to waterBut you can't make a Chickenlady watch Star Wars.
I'm afraid I lost interest in the entire series after the second one where Han Solo was put in the deep freeze.

*sigh*I thought the original Star Wars was a universally watched film, like Wizard of Oz.
Ah well... we love you anyway despite this little void in your soul, chickenlady.

I have seen the first two!My dad took me to the cinema when I was about 8 to see Star Wars...I suspect he wanted to see it and taking me was just a ruse.
And I saw the Empire Strikes Back (that is the second one of the original series, isn't it?).
But the rest are all lost on me.
I didn't even see the one with the Ewoks!

ChickenladyI am worse. I have never seen a Star Wars film or a James Bond film and I've never seen the original Matrix.
Unfortunately I have seen The Matrix 2 and 3.
