Impulse buys are sometimes not all they're cracked up to be
If you get years of pleasure out of it, all is good. Doesn't matter what you paid for it; if you get enjoyment out of your purchase, then to me, it's worth what you paid, no question. I'd rather pay top dollar for a once-in-a-lifetime holday, for example, that I know I'm going to enjoy, than a hundred quid for a last minute bargain week on the Costa del Sol, all inclusive, only to spend the majority of the time sitting on the can saying goodbye to everything that ever passed my lips (I speak from bitter experience here).

If, however, your purchase rapidly falls apart after a relatively short space of time, it's either dodgy goods to start with, or, you didn't take good enough care of your acquisition once in your ownership. What I'm saying is, think before you buy, mull the consequences over thoroughly, and never enter into a large scale purchase without being absolutely sure it's the right thing for you. Once you've committed yourself, look after your prize with love. Understand its characteristics, and never underestimate the opinions or feelings of others.

Mike Ashley, please take note...

Yeah...
But I shall join the crowds of the terminally optimistic in the pub on Sunday anyway, especially as I'm not at work the next day.

It's a shame fat Mike Cashley doesn't read this
I shed a tear yesterday as my beloved toon whimpered out of the premier league.

Lets hope he makes amends this year. Who knows, we might actually win a game in the championship.


Or maybe not. :-(
