[Shitty Arse]

Amstrad electrical appliances

I only ever wear Pony trainees

Anusol ( I won't put another suppository near my arse)

Tena pants ( I won't foul myself wearing anything else)

I've only ever driven a Lada. Still going strong.

It's just reassuring isn't it sticking with what you know?

Vice is the absolute height of hipster bourgeois cuntery.

Still better than the fucking Guardian.

[Boss]

Vice is the absolute height of hipster bourgeois cuntery.

 

I like VICE, they do some really interesting documentaries, although their new political presenter Simon Ostrovsky who covered the whole Brexit aftermath is a knob of epic proportions with a terrible taste in leather jackets. They need to bring Gianna Toboni back, sexy Gianna.

Not sure if you can watch Brexaggedon in Australia, but it'll probably be on Youtube soon enough. It's from the same people who did The Revolution Will Be Televised. They fucking nailed The Guardian.

They had a documentary on Iraq which was good, but I find you have to sift through so much utter shite to find the few decent documentaries. Their goal appears to be trying to seem as "quirky" as possible, and I just find it irritating. They met Jose Mujica, and the gimp presenting just kept banging on about weed. Excruciating.

 

They've interviewed Chris Hedges and Glenn Greenwald in the last 12 months, and on both occasions it seemed like a wasted opportunity.

[Boss]

Hilarious that. Especially the Guardianistas in Salford and Alister Campbell calling Dennis Pound a tosser before running away behind a barrier.

A nice frock?

 

Repped for use of the word 'frock'

One of my dearest friends had a John Lewis gift list, many moons ago when he got hitched to a right grasping bastard. 'They'd' even starred their 'favourite items'; shit like televisions and expensive mattresses, oddly enough.

 

I got them a not marked among their favourite items John Lewis doormat and told him it was exclusively for his use as she obviously already had one.

 

They're divorced now.

 

Very good. But is it true?

[Champ]

Well trained little petty bourgeois sheep.

 

Behave yourself, Hades. As if you dont buy stuff or have opinions on the merit of said purchases

[Lee909]

Weetabix and Marmite

Marmite is actually one i didn't think off. Tried the own brand once and threw it away. It was what i imagine asphalt must taste like,really gritty. Veggiemite is worse

[Lee909]

They were shite then as well. As were all the British and Aussie makes (Gunn & Moore, Gray Nicholls, Kookaburra, etc). The bats from India and Pakistan were half the price and twice as good. I bet they still are as well. Like most other stuff it's a case of diminishing returns. About ten years ago you could buy a bat for £300 but a top of the range CA at £150 was as good as bats got.

A lad i worked with bought half a dozen cricket bats back from Oakistan with him whem he went home. Once he received them through customs they looked like swiss cheese. The fuckers had drilled through everyone of them multiple times looking fir drugs. Said they would pay him a penny either. Dont know if he got money back or not

Where is Oakistan? Are there lots of big tree's there?

[Champ]

My girlfriend's sister got married a few years ago and they had a John Lewis present list. Almost everything on it that I checked I could find cheaper elsewhere. I thought the entire point of worker co-operatives was that they eliminated profit from the whole enterprise and could thus be much cheaper? Absolute bobbins.

 

John Lewis is an 'employee owned business', ie the employees, rather than external shareholders, share the profits from the business

Its early and ive hardly slept.

But yes its somewhere in Hobbiton

Gospel. One of my favourite stories is how he once returned home late after a particularly heinous day at work in a job he despised, and upon finding her parents' car parked outside his house just sailed on past and went straight back to the office.

[VladimirIlyich]

Shocking use of the word 'Trainers' on here,the correct term is 'Trainies.'

A friend of mine did that once after returning home to find her husband's car on the drive when he was supposed to be at work. And they got on very well

Champ knows.

 

I like buying stuff, stuff that I like.

 

Sue me.

Did you miss the daps?

[Total Longo]

Used to be obsessed with Paul Smith clothes until i had kids and couldn't afford it anymore. 

 

Adidas trabs, strictly no other. 

 

Apart from that i'm struggling to any brand i am loyal to. I've only ever bought Specialized bikes, i suppose. I'm kind of anti-Apple products, mainly because of their ubiquity and annoying adverts.

[stringvest]

Can't say I've ever regard shopping at John Lewis as being middle class.

 

 

John Lewis will price match as well, so if you see the same thing elsewhere for less they'll refund the difference.  JL's a good place to buy white goods and electronics, as they'll usually give at least 2 year warranty.

Shoes - Jeffrey West for formal, Paul Smith for informal, ecco for trainers, sandals and comfort.  

Don't wear watches.  

Clothes - anywhere, as long as the quality is there.  But that's not easy to find on the high street.

It's becoming harder to find anywhere, unless you want to pay daft money.
