Managed to get the former a couple of weeks ago when Traid were having a sale, but I've not bought Razzle in ages and did use to be a fan...

How about buying a lot of bank notes from a country with a collapsed economy?.  Use them as toilet paper or roll around on your bed with them lighting cigars with random ones you set on fire. Pointless, but will make you feel like Scrooge McDuck

A reasonably good set of kitchen knives.  Something you will use each day for years and years for essential yet pleasurable purposes.  It's a nice thing to tell the gift giver too.

Why don't you ask for a visit to a restaurant for a dietary meal? If it was me I'd ask for a visit to a restaurant for a dietary meal.

A couple of years ago I found £100 in £20s that blew out of a car window that had just passed me. A couple of young vulnerable comrades from my mutual aid group had been mugged of £50 by a drug addict that week and I had it in my head that this might be the mugger's dealer's money. I gave £50 to the comrades and used the rest to get the Beatles remastered collection used off ebay. So it would be something like that.

If I had someone to share the experience with it'd be tempting, but doing so on my own feels a bit bleak.

If they did a King of the Hill set I'd buy it, but according to someone on Reddit Lego refuse to entertain the idea.

Good call. Something like  this

Or if it was me, two £50 bottles of whisky, or maybe a £60 and a £40, but not a £70 and a £30.

Do you like old 8 and 16bit console games, arcade games and that? You could get yourself something like this, comes with pretty much every game ever made up to the mid-late 90s and even some from the PlayStation one era.

I fucking love mine.

A beautiful first edition of a favourite book OR a signed limited edition print (for example https://www.axlearts.com/printmakers/george-tute-rwa-re-printmakers/ ) or a lemon tree, a cherry tree and an apricot or peach tree. 

Or a salad bowl and serving plate by Robert Picault. 







A ticket for Gallagher/ Squire. Checks Viagogo- hold on- make that two! And enough left for a taxi home.

Butchers Blind

With a £100 you can buy 10,000 of these.

Quote from: Mr Vegetables on March 15, 2024, 04:47:05 PMA hundred pounds of mystery cheese

According to this I could buy a goat for £100, then I'd have all the cheese I could eat for the rest of my life.

When it comes to other suggestions I gave up alcohol last summer, with my luck if I did a parachute jump I'd end up fucking up the other leg, and though I loved gaming up until my mid-twenties I went completely off it when I hit 25 and can't really explain why. So right now it's looking like I'm going to have to get that hand job from Madhair. :(

I've just bought a bottle of whiskey for £91, which is the only one of a set of 4 that I don't have. So if you could send the £100 to me as soon as possible SMBH, that would be grand, ta
