What have you cutback on since Stephen's unwelcome arrival?

pandamoanium · 09-10-2009 03:11PM #1

Me?

Well aside from the glaringly obvious coke and hookers habit I've also cancelled Sky, got rid of the landline and switched to a cheaper ISP.

Your turn!

admiralofthefleet · 09-10-2009 03:12PM

who?

IvyTheTerrible · 09-10-2009 03:13PM

You've obviously cut back on calling things by their proper name.

09-10-2009 03:13PM

clothes

And general wreckless spending

I'm off out tonight though woohoo

In yer face Stephen!

Recession threads.

Funnily enough the recession is more of a celtic tiger for me.. It's brilliant

TwoShedsJackson · 09-10-2009 03:21PM

Nothing.

Rented Mule · 09-10-2009 03:24PM

Ireland.

Bailed out August 7th.

I no longer burn fifty Euro notes in front of sniveling, beggar children - opting instead to incinerate more modest denominations such as twenties and tens.

FearDark · 09-10-2009 03:28PM

**** off with recession threads.

CCCP^ · 09-10-2009 03:29PM

Who the **** is Stephen? Is it suddenly cool and hip to refer to the recession as Stephen? ffs...

minidazzler · 09-10-2009 03:31PM

I had to cut back on my Coke and Hookers habit, that sucks.,

09-10-2009 03:33PM

Nothing really. I've never been good at the whole "work" thing, so I'm pretty much in the same place as I was before, financially.

I have taken more interest in FAS courses though since Stephen. They seem to have gotten more started up and running, so I'd feel silly to not take advantage and try and figure out what I do and don't want to do.

You must be a liquidator

K-Ren · 09-10-2009 03:39PM

I don't think the recession's affected me too much, I just made the mistake of going to univeristy, and now I'm broke.

Fizman · 09-10-2009 03:42PM

I have to be honest and state that I have cut back on sweet fcuk all!!!

I was out two nights last week, 3 the week before that, 3 the week before that, 2 the week before that, and the week before that consisted of 6 nights out in Crete.

Spending sh1t loads online on all different bits.

Just moved into a savage, brand new apartment.

The economy need reckless bast&rds like myself to be honest.

Edit: I'm also going out tonight and tomorrow night. And no, they won't be 'quiet' ones.

Go hard or go home folks! Thats the rule!

Jet Black · 09-10-2009 03:52PM

I've stopped buying the dom.
Have to drink the working class sh!t, moet.
Also i only can afford one new merc this year.
Had to buy a smaller private jet. Had to sell the 32 seater and buy a 16 seater.
Its hard but i'll have to suffer through:-(

Wazdakka · 09-10-2009 03:58PM

I've found that cutting down on botteled water saved me alot of money.

But I found an alternative
I think its called NAMBian or something..
It's basically just african childrens tears in a bottle shaped like a Fleshlight.
Tastes great and it's cheaper than Deep Riverock

The guy who sells it is a bit weird tho, I still dont get wht he wears an eye patch

1 - the reason you call the recession that instantly make you a *****

2 - the fact you need coke and you cant get consensual sex and you need to get hookers makes you even more of a saddo.

Suddenly? You're not spending enough time on Boards!

I'm having a great recession, it has to be said. So far I've been pretty much untouched by it. I'm sure I'll be raped by the next budget, but until then life goes on as normal.

Elliemental · 09-10-2009 04:40PM

I was living in utter penury during the `boom` years, and oddly enough, only started to really get on my feet when the recession was beginning. I was worried sick at first, I thought i`d get the sack and be back to square one again pretty quick, but the opposite has happened. I`m by no means rich, but for the first time i`m able to afford extras and still get by from one month to the next. It seems my job is pretty safe too, for at least the next two years.

orourkeda · 09-10-2009 05:50PM

I've given up trying to get work

chin_grin · 09-10-2009 06:15PM

Not this again!

I think that got started about 3,336 recession threads ago, before the dawn of time.
