That explains a few things.
Now we know who buys all those obsolete bitcoin miners on eBay.
One in four Brits have admitted to splurging too much cash during drunken shopping sprees online, according to a new survey. Insurance website Confused.com commissioned a research outfit to quiz 2,000 people in the UK about their booze-charged spending habits on the interwebs. The survey found some 24 per cent of the good …
I wonder what that research cost?
Just for your other useless research, I'll add that when I'm drunk and using my computer, I;
send really stupid e-mails with lots of typos and swear words
post really ridiculous messages on forums with lots of typos and swear words
swear at the keyboard
click on 'send' before i'm finished, then swear at the screen
have a hard time comprehending what i'm reading and swear at myself
Thanks :D

Yup... That sounds like me when I was younger. I remember sending a few absolute, er, 'gems' to usenet back in the day. I'm a bit more controlled these days.
"Oh, OK - Odd, But OK. "
Shit, I do that when I'm completely sober!!!!!
Occasionally my fingers turn all dyslexic. It's the only explanation, as the brain still knows what it wants to say! Mostly.
Or maybe it's just age, and I'm just losing it - in more ways than one!
Oh well, the sun is well and truly over the yard-arm so it's wine time, when I promise I won't make any further comments.
Beer, because there isn't a wine icon, but it's still alcohol.
Oh, and have an up-vote you Sanctimonious Prick. Great Name!!
I bought three Lego combi vans as gifts for someone who lent me their cat, I'd only meant to get them one just has some struggles with the shop. Didn't know what was holding the $300-odd on my card until the confirmation emails came through a few days later.

£800 at a Maid Bar in Akihabara over the hours of 8pm till 5am, plus sushi and karaoke finishing off at midday the next day in Ueno. This included 2 bottles of champaign, a half dozen bottles of cafe paris, a lot of cocktails, drinks for the maids and photos. No, no dirties with any of the girls.
Regret isn't the correct term, solemn acceptance that mental nights require penance.
I bought every back catalogue DVD from the 'Kids in the Hall' (Canadian comedy troupe for the unwashed reading here) across 3 sites including eBay at 0230 on a Wednesday morning. The TV series (what was available), the live shows including the reunions). For the next few days I was bemused at the packages coming through my door until it finally hit home and I remembered. Drunk me knows what I like.
Best 70 quid I can't remember spending.
When I've been out and had a 'few', shopping is the furthest thing from my mind.
my priorities are usually, have another drink, have something to eat, pass out. (not necessarily in that order)
If I'm drunk in charge of a PC, then something has gone horribly wrong with my evening.
A tandem from ebay. Had a minor panic when they sobered up and saw how far they had to go to collect it. I think they rode it once before they sold it on ebay again.
IT angle? HAL's song: Daisy, Daisy....
(*) Yes, I know everyone says that, but on this occasion it wasn't me. I just watched them do it and didn't bother stopping them.

All of the above are potential stories that will only be bigger, better and more epic* every time they are told to ones friends - Drive-by shopping alone in fromt of the computer (in soiled underpants holding a bottle of cheap gin) ... not so much.
*) The ritual or "retell and embellish" that all men always do really pisses my wife off. But, at least now with experience she keeps her mouth shut about it so it is possible to bring her along ,p.
I should have read this yesterday, as last night I came that close to blowing 1500 quid on an XS750 I spotted on eBay.
Thankfully, I was too plastered to complete the transaction, but I got a nasty shock when I looked at my phone this morning.
Oh, what the hell. Hair of the dog!
