Morning 'tards
What mr sportscow would like to know from you today is the daft amounts of money you have spent on stuff. Expensive meals, drinks, clothes, cars, guns...

Did you pay £100 for an arse-massaged cow burger? Is that horse piss you are drinking actually a 1937 Merlot from Adolf's personal cellar?

Alt: good weekend?

Most extravagant thing was probably the watch I bought myself after TWL
On a cumulative basis, when I think about how much I've spent on dancing over the years I feel distinctly queasy. And I haven't even got around to buying myself a tailsuit yet, that'll be the best past of a grand.

I really don't want to even think about this question, let alone hang myself by answering it,
given what I am currently in the midst of. Suffice it to say that whatever ludicrous purchase you might select at random, I will like as not have made it at one time or another. £30 underpants? Yes, sir. £250 bottle of wine (this was for my father's 60th and the bill was shared)? Yup. The world's costliest MDs? Over here mate. Etc. etc.

what happened on your weekend?

(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 6 Jun 2011, 8:41, Reply)

I went to a wine tasting after work on Friday, educational and most pleasant.
Then went for a beer with a pal, then went to Lusty's work for free drinks until 5am: total cost of large night out: about £4.

Slept 'til the afternoon then had fun with daughter. Yesterday took her to a couple of adventure playgrounds and to see TWO PIRATE SHIPS (http://www.flickr.com/photos/solamore/3967399184/). She was somewhat underwhelmed unfortunately but she is a bit young I suppose.

Then ate nice food, drank nice wine and watched AC/DC live at River Plate and got my rock'n'roll on. Marvellous.

I reckon it's gonna be good, might even see a release via the MacAppStore of OSX 10.6.0 aka Lion, which will create an emergance between iOS and OSX. I'm also looking forward to iOS5 for the iPhone. Doubt we'll see a new phsyical model, maaaybe an 'iPhone 4s' which will include the A5 proccesor and increased screen size (to ratio, without increased pixal count, which'll still be in the retinor class of screen). I donno, not holding out on a new model, at least not with a retal before october anyway. The big thing will be iOS5, hopefully they'll RTD it so I'll have my hands on a copy when I get home, I'm hoping for widgets, but I've been hoping for that for years. They'll do a new notifications system, I'll eat my hat if they dont, it's so ancient and unintuative. Apparently OS-wide Twitter and Facebook intrigation too, WOO HOO. Then there is iCloud, allowing a subscription to iTunes to stream data whereever you are, imagine that, never having to pay for music individually legally again. MAYBE they'll include the DTP stuff in that too.

The film starts in 1944, before skipping to 1962. According to the credits, it lists the actors who played Professor X at aged 12 and 24. Now that's not even close to right, as there's 18 years between the two, surely?

It also (geek alert) has no respect for the canon established by the previous X-movies
Origins: Wolverine is a particular culprit. Emma Frost appears in that as a teenager, at a point that's set just before the first X-Men movie; in the same sequence, Xavier shows up on foot. Plus Alex Summers is in First Class, despite being Scott Summers' younger brother.

Quite possibly, although that term annoys me
Especially when they're forging ahead with another Wolverine movie. I wish they'd said bollocks to the reboot and tied up the X-Men films with one based on the Age of Apocalypse storyline. That would've made a cracking (albeit depressing) film

Bristol was where Panorama did that massive racism expose last year
Considering the number of different ethnicities and religions in the city, it really is still a breeding ground for ignorant chav scum. You know, like the rest of Britain.

And last week Bristol was at the focus of the Panorama investigation into abuse at care centres
for those with mental illness.

We seem to be a breeding ground for the worst members of society.

My brother
Got all the inheritance when pops snuffed it, mainly because everyone else thought he was a massive cunt and my bro was only 12 and had yet to tell him so.

When he hit 18 he inherited a 3 bedroomed house which was promptly sold, the navy pension, and any money/savings/life insurance etc. Total came to well over £300k

He has just turned 23 and its all gone and he has nowt to show for it. He rented a flat and held massive parties every night. He purchased high end paintball guns and gear for himself and his 7 best mates so they could go out and play urban paintball, nearly been arrested several times for that one. He bought a set of tattoo equipment saying he was going to learn and set up his own parlor, he didn't. He spent thousands on spray paint and massive canvases to practice on.

He's now flat broke like the rest of and has decided to try getting an education.

Money well spent I say!

This is a classic example as to why trust funds are required, tied to maturity.
He could have been set for a reasonable standard of living, funding for a viable business or whatever. Instead he's fucked it against the wall, aided and abetted by leeches no doubt, and now he's back to land of bedsits. Wonderful.

I remember spending about £1800 inheritence when I was 16
That felt like £500K at the time. The £9K we got paid off a car loan, bought something nice for everyone in the house and got me my guitar.

I doubt I will ever get any

My biggest waste of money was opening a shop with a friend
which went spectacularly bust after six months. Luckily we had set up as a limited company, so we weren't personally responsible for debt once we'd dissolved the company and gone home crying.

But that year took me a long time to get over, both emotionally and financially. And you'll all be surprised to learn I haven't seen my so-called best friend in nearly two years.

I have 5 guitars, 2 surfboards, several wetsuits

All reasonable on their own, but these things add up.
