This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Oh yeah, I forgot about this one...
Not sure how appropriate this is in the scale of tightness but I'll bore you all with it anyway!

When I was ten, my mother bless her, bought me a brand new AC Milan shirt, I was as happy as a pig in shit when I got it as they had just won the European cup in that shirt.

Anyway, being young, naive and unaware of scale I didn't realise that this top buried me. I mean, I looked like Rick Waller would look if he suddenly shed 8 stone but still insisted on wearing the same t-shirts he wore when he was the size of a beached whale.

This was purely a penny saving tip for the old girl and she was obviously working on the rule of, 'you will grow into that'

Regardless of the enormity of this top I continued to sport it on the playground and remember one guy who's parents are considerably richer than mine giving me a hard time.

Anyway, Im 25 now, and I dug this little gem out the wardrobe about a year back, and guess what, it only bloody fit, not only fit but it actually looked the dogs dick and im sure that top alone got me the ride at a festival last year.

The beauty of it all, and perhaps the most ironic part of the story is, the friend who took the piss out of me, offered me 80 quid for it, as vintage footie tops are apparently all the rage with the fashion cocks these days.

Moral of this story, never throw anything away, apart from used condoms perhaps, or conservative flyers when they land on your door mat.

But why would Howard Hughes be on my door mat?
Ba-dum-tish!

Put the t shirt on...
Take a run up, and welly him in the nuts.

I know he's a mate, but he just sounds like a pretentious cock!

Recycling's too good for 'em
