Just wondering, what's the saddest thing you've ever bought:

(a) Off of the internet!
(c) Second Hand!
(b) Ever!

I just noticed today how people buy really sad stuff, I just bough 500 water bombs off of the internet for £6! It's really sad but the fun that we have when it's sunny will be great!

I also bought one of the £ saver robots off of my mate for 50p, you put the £ on it hand and it ate it! Oh so sad!

It will never beat me buying a South Park though for the N64, that was soooo sad! I actually thought it would be good! Oh how I wish I had not bought it now!

Sad.....

I bought a pack of those strange metal figures from the Game Workshop that you have to paint when I was young, didn't realise you had to paint them so I never touched them again.

I got bored and took it to pieces...

I couldn't work out how to put it back together either!

Damm, I could have had a nice little business prospect coming on then!
