Things I don't buy

Topic: Surrealism
I don't buy:

-Portable duck covers;
-Lecture theatres;
-Spectacles made by Red or Dead (if I want to look like that I'll glue re-entry shields to my face);
-Self-improvement books (still haven't got round to reading The Procrastinator's Guide to Success);
-Logarithm tables;
-Rudely-shaped pasta;
-Crockery that looks like Peter Falk of Columbo fame.

I don't buy anything with Wayne Rooney on it. Not even the 2005 Annual. Oh, yes. Somebody actually printed one.

In my day you had a Dandy or Beano annual, or maybe Look-In, or something to do with your favourite toy, and you were glad of it. They'll make an annual of anything if it stands still long enough. And if that makes me sound like an old git, then tough.

Rooney, indeed. What next? The Chavs Annual 2005? With Burberry-effect cover?

I don't buy charity CDs involving Chris Martin - just what were they thinking when they released the latest Live 8 CD? Hmm?

I don't buy parking permits in Bangor, Gwynedd. What a rip-off. I had to keep topping up so that my car didn't get clamped. Our town has abolished parking charges because it was killing off local commerce. Half of the shops in Bangor are either boarded up or on their last legs. ARE YOU LISTENING?

I don't buy Jamie Oliver-inspired school dinners, and judging by the decline in children eating them, neither does anyone else.

I don't buy Dido sheet music. Just how is anyone supposed to sing that high when Dido doesn't? Sheesh.

I don't buy birthday sheep - but I do receive them as gifts! I don't buy llama polish or goat restraints.
