from thailand
an electric blue neon sign that said "massages". in my drunken state, i thought it would be HILARIOUS to pay about £30 plus £10 postage for this, so i could put it in my flatmate's bedroom.

then i forgot all about it, until about 6 weeks later i got one of those cards from the royal mail. i thought someone had sent me an exciting present, but no. no, it was my tacky and stupid joke sign.

not only was it a thai plug (well, duh. what kind of idiot didn't know that? er...) but the cable was so short that i don't know how you'd ever manage to plug it in, unless you wanted to advertise massages on the floor.

it came all the way from thailand, and was in the bin in london by the end of the day. i might as well have taken out four £10 notes and pissed on them :(

People pay good money for that in Thailand.

Changing a plug isn't exactly rocket science, y'know.

it would be to me. i have all the practicality of a victorian nun.
anyway, it so wouldn't have been worth the effort. this thing was properly fucking shit.

That last comment makes no sense.
If you pissed on 4 tenners, you'd have £40. If you spend them on a shit sign, you have a shit sign.

You metaphorically pissed in your own wallet?

I bought the same thing
Rachelswipe but from Taiwan (capital of Thailand). It arrived In a thousand sharp fragments of broken neon tube. I emailed them to complain but they replied in foreign so I just let it go.

Taiwan is a totally different country.
