    It's a bit ridiculous in it's concept but I hear it's the day when retailers go from being in the red to being in the black, hence the name.

    If it's good for the economy, I don't mind a bit of ****-yank day. I don't partake in it myself mind, I'm not huge on consumerism as it is.

    I've got to pop to Asda for some food for lunch soon, if I get shoved out of the way by some television scrambler I'll be punching a hole straight through the bloody thing.

    Humans at their most ugly.

    Someone please tell the retailers that we're not the 51st State and **** this **** off back over the other side of the pond.

    Selling off crap to make room for Christmas stock.

    Then it all goes daft again when they sell off the Christmas stock.

    99% of it will be stuff people don`t actually need. Crazy.

    Funny thing is, loads of people will be buying this crap on credit.

    I noticed in Asda hundreds of TV's on offer for £139, probably 47" at a glance, a brand I've never heard of in my life.

    Essentially, they source utter garbage from China for just this one day a year, and make a f**ing mint.

    Not exactly politically correct, but going by the TV coverage of the so-called Black Friday, the vast majority who were fighting over goods were either black or Asian..

    What about the Chinese sale a week ago:-

    "Alibaba Smashes Its Record On China&#8217;s Singles&#8217; Day With $9.3Billion In Sales"

    Billed as the opposite of Valentine's day when you buy something for yourself.

    It`s about as near a riot as they can get without breaking windows.

    i knew a guy who said his wife's credit card had been stolen and when I said have you cancelled it he said no, the thief is spending less than she does so I guess I'm winning.
