As you all know the only thing I do is read everything I write on OohSometimes.com because why on earth would you want to read anything else?

It seemed like a good thing to do to go back a year as basically I am leading up the new year article to see what resolutions I had made and failed, make up new things and round it all off with a review of the year. It was a nice trip back to the past when I wrote a hell of a lot more, and was basically a lot more funny than the bitter husk of a human being I’ve become. Then I came across a post which made the spider senses tingle.

Only wish I had some effects for everything to go wibbly-wobbly

Excerpt from “And We’re Back!!“

Either that or go mad for the sales which upon arriving back in the UK, seemed to be the top story that everyone was queuing outside the shops to get products which the shops couldn’t sell at rip-off prices before so they are selling to the gullible numpties convince they are getting a good deal when they are still being fleeced within an inch of their lives. They gave one example on the radio where a woman had bought a handbag for £200, convinced she had a bargain because it was down from £650.

Now….will I be the only one thinking that the shops would have ripping people off left, right and center to take money off like that for a crappy little bag thing? And also that does raise the point of spending £200 on a crappy little bag thing but then again I am not a woman and therefore may not be in the right mindset to buy something because it has some f**k-clump’s name written on it.

Granted I spent stupendous amount of money on the Uber Beast of Personal Computers, but that is serving a purpose both for work, and as the entertainment system here at the stately manor house containing the Lord of Leisure. But £200 for a bag?

And hadn’t everyone already spent enough to begin with before all this today? What about the credit crisis that the whole world in a grip of terror not more than one week ago? What’s happened to the cost of living going up, thus our stagnant wages affording less for us all?

And now we have greater money problems at the very height of things going wrong with various companies out of on their arse to sell the Big Issue to various banks and sleep rough. Can’t help but wish for better things to post about. Maybe writing about my elbows will lighten up people’s days? 🙂
