What was your biggest waste of money ever?

Alt: Favourite biscuit.

Bought for £22,000, sold for about £12,000 two years later

ALT:
Romany biscuits were fucking amazing. Gypo biccy

I'll bet Romany biscuits are only funny if you're Monty.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 12:05, Reply)

Romany biscuits won me £100 on the Grand National - trufax!
I always bet on the horse with the daftest name and was eating some just before I went to put my bet on and Romany King won (or came second or something)
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 12:14, Reply)

I once donated £20 to B3ta. All I got in return was a bunch of lies
and some idiots who don't find drunk gyppoes funny.

Alt: I recall Deacon's 'translator' mate, saying 'Joey wants a biscuit' - so, that one.

Joey wants a girlfriend?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 12:05, Reply)

I'll bet he does, the randy old spacker.
I'll bet he only wanted the biscuit so he and his cronies could play a disgusting disabled wanking game when Janet Ellis left the room.

It wasn't like that on the 'special' 'We Are The Champions', eh?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 12:06, Reply)

I'll bet he wastes no time in kicking his shoes off.

Every time I hear 'Footloose' by Kenny Loggins
I can see Joey's size 9 Clarks flipping into the Atlantic.

Although I thought Joey worked in a shoe factory. Or did I just imagine that?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 12:14, Reply)

That's probably why he was so cavalier with his shoe at the seaside.
He knew he could nick himself a replacement the next day, the shifty little spazzo...

Did Deacon's 'translator' mate following that up with
'Who's a pretty boy then?'
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 12:05, Reply)

My ex.
At a rough estimate, he probably owes me about £1000.

Alt: Not a huge fan of biscuits, but Oreos are fucking ace.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Fri 4 Mar 2011, 12:06, Reply)

I bought a motorbike
which got nicked less than six months later and I was screwed out of the insurance on a technicality. I then bought an old school mini for about £1500 which needed a fair amount of work doing and had to sell it less than two years later for £800. I also have about £3000 worth of musical instruments that I hardly play.

My homemade lemon curd cookies. I have to make them the morning I take them in to work or I scoff the entire lot. Otherwise, probably chocolate hobnob.

I spent about £600 on a pair of fantastic Fostex active monitor speakers
and I hardly ever use them.

Still, they are great when I actually do turn them on.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 12:09, Reply)

mr b3th has a fantastic pair of speakers
big fuck-off ones, stand about six foot tall by two foot wide, cost about £1500 and can be heard right down the other end of the street.

He never gets to use them because we have so much stock piled up in front of them. Every few months I get an earful about it.

Why would I invest in a bra for your wife?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 12:17, Reply)

The implication was quite clearly that you should invest in a bra for your missus
and you either didn't understand it, in which case you are a colossal spasticated retard, or you tried to make an incredibly lame joke. In which case you are Pyschochomp.

Cost me a shitload of cash. Either that, or trusting one of my 'friends' with my PIN.

I think I've managed to avoid wasting any vast amounts of money
Mainly because I've never purchased anything ridiculously expensive...though I did blow about £50 on a mahogany bass guitar body just before christmas, only to find I'll need to get someone to widen the neck pocket so I can bolt a suitable neck onto it.

Hi! I'm Dr Tugnut, and my biggest waste of money was the £1,000 I paid on a holiday in Greece for the services of a male escort
He didn't "escort" me anywhere. He tied me to the bed and buggered me senseless. When I protested and said I just wanted to go and see the museums he said "Ah, you like rape fantasy!" and destroyed my anus in a manner which made Irreversible look frankly amateurish.

And I've never looked back

Tickets to see Pendulum the day after I went to BBC Glasgow
Booked them weeks in advance for me and my best mate, he'd made it very apparent that he couldn't afford to see them on this tour so I shelled out in order that we could both go. Despite getting the 6am train out of Glasgow, I didn't get back into Norwich until 11 HOURS later because of the cunting snow. And his starter motor went that day, so we couldn't even brave the weather-stricken roads in a desperate race against time to get to the gig.

If I'd lost I'd have killed someone.

most of you would probably think everything i spend my salary on is a waste of money
i would have to say spending a small fortune on hair/nails/grooming to meet guys who then turned out not to be worth a tube fare.

ooh no, i got drunk once and thought it would be HILARIOUS to order a pink neon sign that said "massage parlour" for my flatmate's bedroom. it turned up 12 weeks later from hong kong. with the wrong sort of plug. and it needed wiring in. and it would have looked awful. and it cost a small fortune.

i threw it away.
