Happy Buy Nothing Day, a day on which to protest rampart materialism by
buying nothing.

Ramparts work best if they are substantial.
Boxer Rebellion: A group from northern China claimed they
could scare off the British by running around in their
skivvies.

Already done - when I said it was Chinese men rebelling against their
government for telling them which kind of underpants to wear!

Ramparts: Often seen hanging up in a butcher's wondow.

Acute woman? You mean she's only there for an instant now and again. She
must be a very fast runner! Don't you wonder where she's bean sometimes?

Anyway. Buy Nothing Day?? You must be joking.

After spending over the last three weeks, £60 on a warm heavy luxury
dressing down and two thermal vests, £269 on a new Zanussi cooker, £103 on a
top-class Le Creuset frying pan and saucepan to go with it, £48.90 on a De
Longhi deep fat fryer, and now £88 on a Canon printer, for me there's no
such thing as a buy nothing day.

The printer prints very good Canons as well. Nice and sharp and the colours
are bright and accurate - and you can see right down the muzzles as well!

If this is living like a poverty-stricken pensioner, I'm afraid I'm not very
good at it. Praps there's a book I should buy that'll tell me how to do it.

Muzzle Tov! Unless you're a kheled gadol, but who is?
