Condom machines up 57.5% since changeover

Muirthile · 2002-11-08 23:39:29

It used to be 3 condoms for £3, before the changeover. Now it's 2 condoms for €4. That's €1.27 each before, €2 each after. That's an increase of 57.5% in one day.

:DOh bleedin heck, that's hilarious. Really.

Is this from the machines? Might be better off preparing early and visiting the local pharmacist (and don't say "oooh, I'd be embarrassed" - dammit people buy condoms all the time)

Big price increase tbh - I suppose it's something of a captive market. If someone gets lucky it's not like they're going to refuse to buy the things.

does that imply that you no longer purchase contraceptives

yeah go for boots, get the condom-for-life range, you only have to buy one.

Any one ever notice that ladies knee high tights look like massive johnnies.

There are alternative methods that involve a hella amount of squezzing at the moment of climax and not being able to piss for a week.

the quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed: it blesseth him that gives, and him that takes..

Fair thee well.

Perhaps you think I should loosen up?
