I think the only thing I have bought when under the influence of alcohol is more alcohol! Maybe the odd song off itunes. Can safely say I have never bought a lionel richie mug!!
What about you guys?

Edit: you need to copy and paste link. Never works on here from my android for some reason sorry

    I spent £6 on 1 kilo of Haribo Rhubarb and Custard sweets but I was sober then. I just love them and have had some spare money.

    An Airfix model kit (still not built it), a pair of Germany Army jogging pants (used), a Briar Pipe amongst others.
    Life's a rollercoaster.

    I used to build Airfix Spitfires and Messerscmitts.Painted them,stickers,the works.Then throw them out of my second floor window.Just to see what damage was sustained.
    I should have been an air accident investigator.:p

    I bought a 27.5 k motor a few weeks ago.I was totally shit faced at the time.
    I'm hoping to get out of the contract shortly.Price rise or delay in delivery date will save the day!.:D

    Indulge me here please.
    Talk me through the "German Army jogging pants - (used)".
    1 What do they look like?
    2 How do they rate the degree of "used"?
    3 At what stage does "used" become visible?

    Maybe about 10 or 12.I can still smell that Hummel paint.Very distinctive.
    I also used to catch Sticklebacks in the local burn.Then I'd leave them out in the midday sun to fry.Once they were dead,i'd bury them.After a few weeks I'd dig them up to see what was left.Ahh,childhood,such happy memories.;-)

    Flea-bay was my friend on this occasion.
    Navy blue with stripes, very penitentiary in style. Used as in pre-worn I believe, hard to gauge the exact amount of soiling.
    Never wore them. Charity shop got them.

    Next time I see a group of guys in "soiled German Jogging pants" walking menacingly toward me I'll just say "give farmer bob my regards".

    it's a real chore though the on line shop? Far better to chug a few beers back and improvise a bit. Sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised by that random drunken on-line purchase, I have often said ' we'll try those again'

    I've bought many stupid things on-line when drunk. Usually occurs if my friends and I end up browsing sites like Firebox or ThinkGeek. Then a few days later I get surprise deliveries at work which I don't remember ordering. It's like a mini-birthday.

    The only thing I have ever bought whilst drunk are train tickets to meet a girl.
