It occurred to me this morning, hungover and looking for coffee, that I have never had a coffee from Starbucks. I am very proud of this. Quite an achievement. What have you managed to do, against the odds, in our horrible modern world?

Christ, just looking at that could give you a coronary.
I've never been to nando's. And the only Smack Donalds I have eaten in about a decade was in the Ukraine, and therefore doesn't count.

I've never been enough of a laughably stupid c**t to buy an MP3 player and have certainly never marked my self out as enough of a towering megac**t to buy an Ipod.

Also, I haven't worn denim jeans for about 16 years now, which is more then half my lifetime. I don't know if that is an achievement exactly.

What's smug about that? I too have boycotted jeans for about 10 years now. If I hadn't bought a pair just to appease my peers, I would have been a Jean-totaller all my life.

Can anyone try to be pro croc to help me understand the flip side of this social snubbing I'm performing?
What happened to the people from Friday's Child? The forums really hotting up and they've left because they couldn't handle the hectic pace. I bet McDirts wears crocs.

I did something a couple of days ago that I'm not sure how I feel about. It's either proper clever, or really fucking stupid. Or, er, y'know, neither and not that remarkable at all.
I resent having to spend what strikes me as quite a lot of money on razor blades. I use Gillete Sensor, and generally buy Tesco copy blades that fit on my Gillete handle. About, oh I don't know, three quid for eight blades. rather than a fiver for four Gillete's, or whatever they cost. Fucking rip off either way.
Last time I went to buy some, I couldn't see the ones that I knew would work, so I chanced it and bought some that turned out not to work.
So I then thought, hmmm, what about eBay? I bet they have some good deals. So I looked, and ended up buying 49 packs of unused Gillette Sensor blades (that's 245 razor blades) for 25 quid.
They arrived this morning:
So I reckon I have about five years' worth of cost-free shaving ahead of me. Pretty daft, right? Or a good bargain?

it's a good image though. Sitting there, listening to Boston, in his cords, munching on a sandwich made by his wife. A gentle protest.

Souplol @ mart's clever razor purchase. I'm totally stoked at his manly and forward thinking, practical solution. I want to chuck his smooth cheeks and clank an ale goblet with him.

I just... got bored with them. I'm specifically talking about blue and black denim here. I've worn trousers with like, a jeans cut to them. But there was a point when I was 15 when I just thought, "fuck this, all my clothes look the same as everyone else's" and stopped buying jeans. Now it doesn't even occur to me to look in the jeans section of the shop and I can't really picture myself wearing them without it seeming a bit odd. It's not like a single-gear-bike act of cultural terrorism. I just got bored of them.

Daft. You could die tomorrow and never use a single one of them. You'd feel pretty stupid then I bet. I never buy anything in bulk for fear that I might die and wind up wasting money.

eta: Yeah...I'm mostly concerned about the wife and kids. Not about their financial well-being, but mainly I don't want my kids saying stuff like our dad was a **** for buying a bunch of razors and never living to use them.
