Ill-judged lockdown purchases

Here’s what you should do then. 
Get yourself a half dozen old wooden lollipop sticks and wrap them around your old man and use some brown sticky tape to hold them in place. Then off you go down walking street.
When you see a girl you like, tell her you’re a virgin, then whip it out and show her and say “look, it’s never been used, see, it’s still in its packing case”. She’ll take pity on you and may even  give you a discount. 
Works for me every time. 🤗

Nah....for a 1000bt that I'd pay for s/t I can buy enough bread, cheese, bacon and cigarettes to last me a week and I like those more so I'll stick with them.

Back to the title now of the thread now and a mate that will be going home soon offered to sell me a nearly new scanner/printer yesterday for a lot less than half price of a new one, for some reason I bought it ? I'm going to have to cut down on the bacon, bread and cheese now.

Jeez,  printers ... I don't like ... for me .... seems the printers use endless ink ... I think the printer companies should rename their companies to "Ink" companies ...  plus, the paper feeds always seem to clog up on me .... always!

Over the last couple of years I have finally been able to go without having / using a printer ... makes me happy!

I know this probably belongs in the watch thread but I've been looking to treat myself to a new timepiece. I'm not normally one for spending a lot of brass on a watch but I fell in love with this 1930s vintage Dunhill watch. It's been reserved and hopefully sold but I'm going to enquire anyway. £935.

I made sure this one has proper ink tanks as I know exactly what you mean, last time I bought a cheap Canon printer for about 1400bt, the ink ran out after the ex wanted 50 or so colour sheets printing and the cartridges weren't refillable. I priced up new cartridges and they were close to 1000bt so that hasn't been put to use since then. So I'll probably be binning a hardly used printer soon because of the price of new cartridges. Crazy.

Don’t regret it but bought a new IPhone Pro for around £1k when I was pissed off my face the other week 🤣 Woke up saw the invoice in my email inbox and thought you f......king twat!

I went on a bit of a foolish spree last month, was going to wait until January to sell a few devices in Thailand. Huge pain in the arse as we speak, I’m trying to unload an 11 ProMax 64 and IPad Air. You’d think  I’m in Morocco with all the bargaining going on, people trying to get something new in the box for 35% off. Had enough for tonight, I just might sell my IPhone 8 and activate the ProMax. I know with Covid prices are bound to fall, but some of these buyers are idiots

Is that iPhone any good? Been looking at the Max version myself.

The camera is very good and battery life is decent. Other than that basically the same, that said I’ve only had it for a week and haven’t sussed it all out yet.

Since lockdown started I've probably bought enough cans of beer to fill an Olympic swimming pool. My waist line regrets those purchases now.

Me also .. big bottles ... lockdown has nothing to do with it for me .. I like beer ... but my waistline doesn't suffer .. I have a super hard time gaining any weight and I also eat like a pig ....

The wife bought this card for our son to give me on Father’s Day. She obviously didn’t look closely at it!

Damn nearly shat my pants when I read it, which she and our son obviously didn’t. 
Being a father again at 68 wasn’t part of my plan. 
Her and the MIL are still laughing about it over Skype. 😡

I spent 30,600 baht on a new ABS system for the car when the old one went tits up after visiting Phil at Le Pub.

Not really Covid19 related but still pisses me off. 🥴
