I don't buy subscriptions to Greenpeace. well, not anymore anyway. They kept trying to fleece me by taking twice as much out of my Direct Debit as they were meant to, thus creating twice the paperwork (gasp - trees) to sort it out.

Eventually my bank (gasp - evil multinational conglommerate) put paid to their skullduggery and that, as they say, was that.

Moo - ha - ha (evil corporate laugh).

I don't buy anything with pictures of Michael Howard on it. Nor will I ever do so. End of story. Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom, although I may have used that out of context.

What does that mean, anyway?

Pianos
Mood:  rushed
Now Playing: Still playing Free The Bees. We do buy The Bees CDs. Oh, yes.

I don't buy Bentley pianos. I might pay people to take them away from me, though. Ick. Nasty, fuzzy, dust-encrusted things.

It's 2005. Get a Roland digital. They rock.

Hate to be an anorak, but the Piano 2 setting sounds slightly edgier, too. Great for jazz and blues work.

I don't buy sheet music of anything by Benjamin Britten. Especially not Deus in Adjutorium Meum. Nu-huh. Nope.

And we'll have a bit less of that Spring Symphony nonsense as well. 'Chop-cherry, chop-cherry ripe within' indeed. Pish.

I don't buy - I mean, really, really don't buy - bright yellow Fiat Puntos with stupid headlights.

Topic: Surrealism
I don't buy lard. I don't buy submersible fountain pumps. I don't buy elf sticks. I don't buy rack-and-pinion-steered combine harvesters. I don't buy kitchen utensils made to look like the heads of state of major developed countries.
