So, can we do the opposite next week?
i.e. my suggestion from last week: real good value for money.

This week's stories are making me feel a bit sick with humanity.



And I haven't even read most of them.


Seriously though, does it actually make you feel good to spunk a load of money on sipping indifferent champagne in the back of a stretch limo, when you know most of the people you are 'impressing' in the street think you're a prize wanker?

Or is that just me? Is it a 21st Century thing?

Admit it - having stuff is nice.
Having stuff and things means you're comfortable, and having better stuff than other people means you're a better person.

Depends on the street.
Some people watch "What Jordan Fucked Next" and admire her. Some people listen to Gangsta Rap and want hoes, green and bling.
Actually, the very fact that limo hire is so popular shows that some people aspire to a lifestyle of champagne in the back of an oversised taxi.

Says everything about you
That you think doing anything luxurious is intended to show off to people.

When I indulge, it's for me and/or the people I'm with to enjoy, not to make other people jealous.

I know what you mean, but the "real good value for money" could lead to the dullest replies ever seen on QOTW. "Yesterday I bought something cheap, it was great" x 650. Nooooooo! We deserve better!

Alright I give in
You're all right, and I'm wrong.

Like I say, I'm still stuck in the 20th Century when we used to have power cuts, strikes that actually meant something other than a day off and people on benefits that were actually poor, as opposed to being on 60% of the mean income.

Also, as I've said before, I don't enjoy fun, so a stretch limo with a bucket full of hoes would be wasted on me.

...just shoot me now.
(Che Grimsdale Best before:, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 14:12, closed)

When I see a limo I shudder...
... because I think they look awful and tacky. I don't assume the people in it are 'prize wankers'. Just that they have no taste.

People, spending money they earned on things to make themselves happy. This is the low humanity has stooped to? It makes me sick.
(Smysha Tra la la!, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 14:15, closed)

Yeah
Ya got me. I'm a mysanthrope who is rapidly descending into grumpy-old-man-dom.

It's the thought of people being happy that I object to.

I think it's just that, due to shockingly poor life choices, the Grimsdales have always been church mouse poor, which has turned me bitter and twisted.

We had a work day out at the races once. I found it really hard to put £5 on horse, especially after losing the first race. I couldn't see the fun in it. If I'd set fire to the fiver, at least it would have warmed me up a bit. That sums me up.

Anyway - hope things are good with you. Don't let my grumpiness spoil your fun!

Sir
I agree with many of your sentiments and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.*

Please find enclosed a pair of leather elbow patches, only slightly worn. Plenty of mileage in them yet.

I look forward to your reply.

*Seriously, I'm with you on this one. Having pointless amounts of stuff is pointless.
