The "recently purchased" thread (AKA I just bought this)

95 notes for a pair of plimsolls? Worlds gone mad.

You blind? They're fucking beautiful mate.

You blind? They're fucking beautiful mate.

I didn't say they weren't nice but, fuck, 95 quid.

Take the Adidas name away and they look like something you'd get for a tenner at Brantanos.

Bernese Sausage ( no picture)

Best sausage on this fucking planet.

sausage filled with chesse, wrapped with bacon

 

[Stevencc]

It sounds fantastic but next time I would like a picture!

 

[mente captus]

Next time from my own,i promise

 

[SALTIRE]

Like piggies in blankets (except this has cheese ofc).

Take the Adidas name away and they look like something you'd get for a tenner at Brantanos.

But then I'd be buying shoes from Brantano.

 

[Pagnell]

And saving £85 without looking any different.

 

[Stevencc]

I think I'd rather wear a Bernese sausage on each foot than Joe's trainers - for that price.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

I'm no FASHION GURU but that's a FAINTLY RIDICULOUS purchase

(the shoes, not the sausage - that looks wunderbar)

Cheese in sausages is a travesty

 

[Pliny Harris]

Kryptonite D-lock for a bicycle, £30, Harry Hall's, Manchester.

Pros:
Cost £10 under my budget, proving once again that Pliny is the true OFF user of economic responsibility.
Smooth, dense lock for maximum security.
Lock cover to protect the keyhole from wear.
Attaches to my tiny 2.4" bike frame so I don't have to lug it in my bag.

Cons:
Slightly shorter than my previous D-lock: will it accommodate frame, wheel and helmet in one?
A little tougher to lock because its key/keyhole aren't symmetrical—have to get the right side.
A bit too big for my tiny 2.4" clown bike frame, so sticks out to the side of it.

Why would Superman want to steal your bike anyway? He can fly.

Do you want to buy some elephant repellent for your garden too? Mug.

Yes, Lord Sugar.

 

[Pagnell]

Lovely.

 

[Stevencc]

Now you are just baiting Carel.

 

[mente captus]

That is i had bought for the weekend. Paid approx7.5€ for it

 

[Pagnell]

Now you are just baiting Carel.

A little, perhaps. But they are jolly nice.

 

[Craig]

Alcohol - 2 for £3
Popcorn - £1

Not propercorn, but proper tasty.

 

[Stevencc]

Was the Sweetex a previous purchase?

 

[Craig]

My sister left it, sugar for me mate.

 

[SALTIRE]

I have that sweet Butterkist and i'll have a wee bag later tonight, but I prefer the toffee one, soooo good.

 

[mente captus]

Beste Leben!

As Steven Poole points out (IIRC), "SERIOUSLY" and "PROPER" (the later pace Jamie Oliver) are at the very frontier of dickheaded 21st century food lexicology, aren't they.

Not just "authentic", but a specific variety of authenticity - blokey, conspicuously disdainful of fanciness, anti-intellectual, anti-foreign even. Little surprise that it's one of David Cameron's favourite preferred buzzwords, then.

I forgot the hashtag

Not quite bought, but ordered today...

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Not quite bought, but ordered today...

Similarly, I've ordered one of these.

I may put a sticker on the side to say it's a SERIOUSLY PROPER car.
