More tickled than rattled, really. The hairdressers in leary shirts who seem to make up a large % of Utd's support, are considerably less annoying than their legion of fans from Andover and Penge <ok>

I'd comment on your fans but I've never met one. Le Tuss is all that springs to mind, I assume some of you look better than him.
 
I think the most expensive thing I've ever bought other than car was the TV last year for about £1400. I'm not super well off or anything but I'm weak and couldn't resist

Most I've ever paid for shoes was about £100 I think on some custom Adidas like 8 years ago

2\3 grand on a record deck. Must admit I like vinyl.

That's for the deck, amp and speakers. You could spend that on a deck alone though. I trust the guy who is hooking me up, he knows his stuff - reckons he'll be able to sort me a really good sound system in that price range. I'm prepared for it to be nearer the top end of that range.

Buying a stereo involves re-arranging the living room as well though, so it's a mission.

Just get an Ipod and one of them Bose portable things and you're away. Don't need to re-arrange anything and will be about £500 in total.

Yeah, got a couple of i-pods, and the sound through a Yamaha amp and Gale speakers is pretty ****ing good I'll admit. I don't hate CDs either (unlike the old boy who owns a record shop in Brighton by the station, he ****ing despises them!), but analogue trumps digital every time.

Sound is a product of natural vibration, which is what you get when you drop the needle in the record. You can reproduce that digitally, but only up to a point. Plus, it's a generation thing. I spent my youth hanging out in record shops, and when you have shelled out a slice of your wages for a slice of vinyl, it's an act of love.

The bins round the back of maccy D’s are pretty good too
 
I’m exaggerating, but I am pretty thrifty. I’ve been in both positions where I’ve had good salaries (40k+) and times where I’ve had very little and had to go fishing and rely on my own home grow veg to supplement my food.

Even with a big salary though I never find that I had anything to show for it. I think you live to your means whatever income you’ve got. I wasn’t unhappy when I was skint, in some ways it makes you more resourceful and teaches you some good life skills about survival.

I think nowadays as well folk have wives who can make or break their lifestyle.

I know a couple and their combined salary is around £50k and they look like they have a great life.

My Mrs would be crying poverty if that was our combined salary.
