How tight are you?

I'm a very generous man. Infact I've been known to hand out great wads of £50 notes just for a +ve rep.

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

Oh Cock!

I've just had a holiday in Ibiza that cost sub £100. I also ruined a pair of shoes that had cost me £10. Traipsing up and down hills and walking along a fair section of Ibiza coastline was more fun than being leached upon by hotels. I even avoided the cost of buying suncream, which at circa £10 a bottle would have comprised a substantial part of the cost of the holiday.

Anyone want to know how to make a beach sun shelter from a bin bag, para cord and locally sourced sticks?

Dude,


you can talk, you've owned/own much bigger statements of such than I will ever dream of owning !

Milan.

Yeah but my penis has grown since. Puberty is a wonderful thing. You'll get there yourself someday.

Yes, it's nice for you that you made a lot of money, but money is not the measure of a man.

It's one of the measures of man, probably the least important.
Others are intelligence, integrity, fitness, looks and penis size

[sasguru]

Don't feed the troll, guys.

If you don't like the thread, you don't have to read it.
Now, fook orf.

I spend money on things that serve a purpose and improve my quality of life. I like to buy quality things because they last and make your life a little bit better every time you use them. That actually means I do my research before buying things, rather than I spend a lot of money. It's as much about avoiding cheap (or overpriced) crap as it is about seeking out the "best".

So I spend money on living somewhere pleasant and leafy and avoiding an onerous commute, things for the house, kitchen implements, tools, my computers, books, various bits and bobs for my favourite pastimes, and basics like food, drink and occasional holidays. I do spend money on decent made to measure work clothes when required because as you say appearance counts, but more than that well fitting clothes lend one a confident air and are more comfortable and that counts a lot more when you are wearing them 9-10 hours a day. Having said that I usually wear a t shirt and jeans, or my M&S lounge shorts, if I can get away with it. I do have some expensive "outdoor" clothes but these are functional items that last years, not things that go in and out of fashion.

I'm fairly indifferent to everyday cars (I don't own one) but I find motor sport, engineering and manufacturing interesting, so I will often visit car museums when I get the chance. I used to do quite a lot of car repairs when I was a teenager and I'd quite like to build or restore something one day as a project with my son.

Jewelry, watches & designer labels don't interest me.

It's worth remembering that to many people not having to worry about paying the bills is an almost inconceivable luxury.

I thought it was a setup. Shaunbhoy would have run in, grabbed the ball, missed the hoop and landed in the crowd.

[Sysman]

I gotta say,

a lot of the people I come across with the flash cars, X5's, RR Sports etc, they've got it all on the never never and nothing to back it up and if their cashflow stops they´re fecked I dunno how they do it I wouldn't be able to sleep

I used to see this down my local pub.

We called them the ten bob millionaires.

Sure enough, come the recession, a good chunk of them slid off into a mixture of repossessions, bankruptcy and divorce.
