Google Mail invites
When Gmail first started, they were only offering invitations to a relatively small number of members who'd already signed up to Blogger.

Lucky me, I was able to sign up and take advantage of the 1GB of storage, almost equivalent to 0.001% of my pr0n collection. I also got two invites for my friends, which, being a mercenary bastard at the time, I put on eBay.

I got 200 quid for them, and verily I felt smug, especially as Google opened the service for sign-ups a week later, making Gmail invites virutally worthless.

Alas, this story would end here, were it not for my own impulsive nature.

Instead of trousering the money and using it for something useful, it hardly touched the side of my paypal account as I squirted it all up the wall on a pile of 2000AD comics, which my wife subsequently put in the recycling.

As Judge Dredd would say: DROKK.

That is a deal breaker right there.
Anyone touches my almost entire collection of 2000ADs, DIES. It's a simple as that.

She's not related to the Thrill suckers, is she?

...it was a particularly un-Zarjaz period of my life.
