Wasting money on expensive items

[snorky]

I see you've met him then mate :)

Same as my receipt from Morrisons for diesel

I’d always wanted a Porsche car but held back, my best mate was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer in 2015, I thought bollocks, life’s too short, I’m having the Porsche. Bought one, owned it for 4 years, cost a fortune to maintain properly so sold it, thankfully mate, remarkably, is still here. Loved the car and any motor I drive now just doesn’t compare to my little beast, no regrets at all.

Thats weird, this past couple of years I keep thinking if I dont get a really nice car now (I am used to driving old bangers for around £800-£1000 tops) I probably never will, & I keep looking at Porsche, just be nice to try one, Which model did you have?

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Do you really waste money on expensive items, surely money is wasted on cheap items.....

I did think carefully before sharing mate,
but then I thought fuck it, there's no way that tubby fucker's gonna catch me :)

I have in mind the film In Bruges where the huge fat yanks ask about the tower. Colin Farrell tells them they ain't going up because they are fat fuckers so the yank tries to punch him but he keeps moving away.

I bought a Boxster 2.7 (the car that saved Porsche) was brilliant JG and I don’t regret at all, best 4 years motoring I had. The 3.2 litre is the better car but a few quid more. It’s only the maintenance costs that made me sell but as I’m heading towards retirement so I’m watching the pennies (a bit).

Be careful buying, quite a lot of second hand Boxters have been thrashed, look at a maximum of 3 owners and service history. Porsche enthusiasts will keep detailed records of the history including preventative maintenance, make sure you see a comprehensive record of all works carried out if you decide to go ahead. Took me about 3 months to find my car, it was only 60k miles but brilliantly looked after and I carried that on, I also only ever put premium fuel in which the previous owner recommended.

When asked about “miles to the gallon” I used to always say “it’s smiles to the gallon”, I loved that car and miss it a lot, you won’t regret it.

You should have bought a watch.

Didn't have the time mate :)

 

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

Who needs a watch for that?
'I thought they kicked off at 3, how come it's half past 11 and your just getting in' does the trick in my house.

By the way 'that early!' Isn't the best answer.

I never go home on the same day I went out.

Misty and BMR spring to mind

Indeed, birds of a feather and all that shit, pair of tight cunts

Couldn't agree more

This really is a nasty little thread. A lot of petty, jealous people about isn't there.

No it isn't. Can't recall one post you describe

 

[DrBlueBob]

Buy some of those Gucci x Adidas shoes for days where you need to be in the office until 5 and have football at ten past?

£785 and they’re yours.

I'm thinking chino shorts, no socks, polo shirt (pink), jumper draped across my shoulders.

What this thread has highlighted is how bullies work. Attacking individual posters as a team effort. So I forgot my wallet, it was only one season, ok may be 2.

When you do bring your wallet with you, it's always empty

And this is a perfect example of what I mean. Now all the other posters can see the bullying I face.

Anyway it wasn't empty. There were some Green Shield Stamps in it.

What? I'm going to stand up for Misty for once. The bullying needs to stop mate.

There was a moth in his wallet.

Maybe, but there was nothing for it to eat

If you earn 20 grand a year, you won't be buying a £50k watch, but if you earn 20 million a year then £50k is such a small fraction of your income that you just might (if you've run out of other things to buy). The watch industry knows this and is happy to cater for both ends of the market. That, for instance, is why the high end Swiss watch manufacturers launched the Swatch brand in the 80s so that they didn't lose out on the former group.

What a ridiculous post. If you earn £20k a year you can buy a £50k watch in only two and a half years. Do the math.
