What gluttonous capitalistic sh*t do you have to have within the next 12 months?

Mint Aero

Can you smell the tiger in the distance?

For me I gotta have as follows:

Oculus Rift (VR porn, nuff said) and gaming stuff be coolie boolie.
Brand spanking new phone. Samsung S6 or S7 if it's out in the next year.
Either a new laptop or pc, maxed out to Run AC
Gonna invest in some proper expensive shaving kit. Badger brush, cut throat and the like, ivory handles be sweet. 300 quid minimum I reckon.
Need an SLR
Need a 55" 3D LED tv
3 holidays abroad planned.
Proper whiskey glass, something expensive like 90 or 110 quids worth.

I'm running out of ideas on where to blow some cash? What say you AH?

If you're that stupidly desperate to get rid of your money OP then you can just send it on to me. 100 euro on a whiskey glass, ya pretentious wanker.

Excuse me but pardon my french bolox. Do you know what a sublime whiskey glass clasped in your hand after a hard day feels like? Money well spent IMO

Pair of new shoes would be nice, can only use these tissue boxes a few more times before people notice.

I know what good whiskey feels like. A decent glass doesn't cost anything near 100 euro. Just burn your money instead, it'll at least provide momentary warmth.

How about a fedora?

Falling over yourself to be seen to be spending money, or using it to fill a hole in your personality, is a vulgar nouveau-riche carry-on and one finds it rather tiresome.

Don't buy ivory OP.

Nothing in this world justifies buying ivory in this day and age, knowing how it's come by.

I'm pretty sure it's also illegal to buy, as well as sell, ivory.

They're fine, if you want to perpetuate the market.

There are plenty of ivory substitutes that no animal has ever, or will ever, suffered for you to enjoy. It's a sickening trade and always has been. You'll get pretty limited joy from owning something that an animal was killed or tortured to produce.

It's not food, it's just decoration.

I need a new laptop too. I broke the charger about 3 years ago and haven't bothered replacing it so I doubt the laptop even works anymore. Why do people need laptops AND a tablet AND a smart phone. Bit of an overkill no?

I'll be buying a new laptop and phone as soon as Microsoft release Windows 10. I'm liking what I'm seeing in testing so far.

I haven't plans for anything extravagant really, can't think of anything I actually need

I'm gonna save up and change my poster on the wall from a French beach to a Spanish villa....id like to be well imagination travelled. Its important to not become too jaded when on an imagination holiday, dont you know.


Maybe a new second hand cushion for my crying chair?

Think this laptop will probably finally shuffle off its mortal coil at some point soon. I must have it four years at this point though, and it only cost me four hundred quid, god bless it.

Just to put that in context, I spend the same amount on laptops per year as you're planning to spend on whiskey glasses, OP. I have to ask, are they magic whiskey glasses? Do they exist in five dimensions? Do they fellate you?

A nice house on the edge of a mountain in Donegal far away from you capitalist psychopaths sucking everything dry. The real spongers.

Material possessions of which most of you don't even need. Let the boom begin, while I'm saving for the next bubble-burst, then I can purchase my house on the mountain for little to nothing.

Keep spending assholes, don't let me down.

This is an example of one that costs €90 for you people that can't see passed a €2 plastic cup from a Tesco bin.

Not the kind of glass I want for my whiskey as it's a bit feminine but just a sample of the price.

I saw something similar in our local "house of value" shop. 6 of them for 10 euro. You're welcome

No thanks. One doesn't expect commoners to understand quality of course.

If you got it flaunt it.

I want.....

One of them lawn mowers that does it themselves.
A gardener to empty it and trim round the missed edges with scissors.
One of them vacuum cleaners that does it themselves.
A cleaner to empty it and do the stairs and mopping.
Someone to do my ironing.

Oh, flowers! I want vases of fresh flowers around my house weekly.

An Xbox One will be the total of my anticipated pig-dog capitalistic scummery for the rest of the year.

He's taking the piss for jaysus sake.

I thought they cancelled Oculus Rift but I obviously just made that up in my head.

I won't be making any big purchases. I need nawtin.

I am getting one of those stoves to replace the crappy gas fire in our living room. More an essential (IMO) than gluttonous capitalistic **** though.

The minimum specs are out for the Rift and they're pretty high so do your research before buying a laptop or PC.

This year, nothing crazy planned financially.. I had thought I'd buy a nice big motorbike and a quality gaming PC but haven't got around to it after getting bogged down in a web project. Then I thought I'd take six months off to finish the project. Now, I'm back to work next week cause it's nearly done.

I'm visiting Macau in a few weeks so that could cost a few grand though.

It's a beautiful material and the existing stock should not be destroyed, regardless of what the tree huggers say.

OP, you do not need to spend €100 on a whisky glass. Here's a set of four for about €30. Please don't drink good whisky from a crystal tumbler or some other abomination.

A good shaving set will not cost anything like €300, and if you start out with a straight razor you will be entering a world of pain. Get a good quality DE safety razor, a good brush and some shaving creams and a sampler pack of a few different blades. Don't think you have to spend huge amounts of money though - any shaving aficionado will tell you that the humble 69 cents Palmolive stick runs rings around some shaving soaps costing 10 times as much.
