The shit I've bought
Oh, the humanity! And my bank balance. Over the last four years, I have alternatively bought books on astral projection, ASP.NET, and most recently, a Cliff Richard biography (needless to say, this is being given to my gran for her birthday!), random bits of jewellery which I never wear, or the odd rock or mineral (I like collecting rocks). I've bought shoes that are too small, jeans that are too big, and (my personal favourite) a persian rug, which I thought was about 2 feet by 4 feet. It turned out to be about half that. Mind you, my friend (James Kettlewell- hats off to you, you mad pisshead!) bought a plastic fork, with one of the prongs snapped off, for the princely sum of 14p. The kicker is, he then took it on a trip to Japan with him, and now has a photo diary of him at various points on the trip, with lots of Japanese people holding said item of cutlery, with somewhat bemused looks on their faces. Surrealism is alive and well, whilst James Kettlewell walks the Earth.
