Rubbish stuff you've bought and not used

    Whats been your worst purchase over the years. The item that you bought, thinking it would bring you nothing but happiness and joy and improve your life by at least 60%.

    Pighead has bought far too many too mention. Went through a phase of coming home drunk and buying rubbish off that awful shopping channel at 2 in the morning. Bought this Teeth Whitener stuff that the women on the telly promised would make your teeth as white as George Clooneys. Pighead had never really noticed that Clooney had amazingly white teeth before but being drunk went "Oooooh, sign Pighead up" anyway.

    Only used the stuff once and that was on the dog. He's not with us anymore unfortunately. Was his death a result of the Teeth Whitening Bleach? Possibly. Did he die with the shiniest set of pearlers you've ever seen? Definitely.

    So what crap have you bought thats gathering dust in your "Stuff I don't use anymore room"

    I once bought a set of Alan keys because I was totally going to adjust the settings on my electric guitar. Yeah!

    Also bought a harmonica because I was going to invest time in learning it to use with my acoustic guitar. Go me!

    In short, guitar related paraphernalia.

    After extensive googling, Pighead has found out that an acre of moon costs roughly €20. Now considering the fact that we're best boards buddies and that you don't seem to hold much affection for your acre Pigheads willing to offer you €2.99 and a €2 Lotto Scratchcard (Potential Value €20,000).

    Bought a gym membership a year ago. Used it I think five times. I'll run around after a football all day but not a hope of me doin it on a feckin threadmill. And weights are overrated too. Only thing it had going was the fine pieces of ass you'd see but even that wasn't appealing enough. Only got a month left til it expires and the direct debit of $40 a forthnight can then f*ck off.

    Apparently you're wrong.
    Pighead just typed "Roboraptor is rubbish" into google, and got a measly 1930 results.
    Then he typed in "Roboraptor is great" and got 48800 results.

    Somebodys lying here jebuz and to be honest Pighead would trust google over you in a heartbeat.

    Incidently, typing "jebuz is rubbish" garners 77 results, whilst "jebuz is magnificent" only returns 62. Just saying like.

    Teeth whitening stuff I bought at the Women's World thingy in the RDS last year.. just made my gums all blistery :o

    Some clothes online that looked good on the dummies but were total and absolute sh1ite when I got them..

    Beauty products at a cosmetics party that were supposed to be "fantastic for your skin etc" more pure sh1te.. bottles are still full 6 months later..

    So much more but can't think of them right now..

    Pighead hopes you don't mind him saying this but thats a bit controversial swingking. What was so crap about it? Is the sex and sexuality forum not all you thought it would be? Pighead blames coolsmileygirl going off and settling down. Her wild free and single days represented the zenith of that forum. Somebody should break those two up.

    Also did this ... twice !!! Joined Crunch Fitness in Westmanstown and was actually doing really well for about a month or two, but due to no transport of my own and distance from my home, I kind of got a bit lazy about it !!! Then just before Xmas, joined a little one in Coolmine, but that only lasted about 6 visits !!! I'd so buy a cross trainer if I had the money and the space though !!! :cool:

    I bought a dog, with the intention of getting up every morning and walking it. ****ing annoying waste of space it is.

    Can I borrow some of your tooth whitening stuff Pighead?

    No dice.
    How bout you scratch the lotto card and let me know if it's a winner.
    Then come back with a better offer.
