    Default I only went out for a few pints with the wife and ended up buying a .................

    ........................two piece suite.

    Whilst walking around Burnley yesterday on our mini crawl my wife and I walked passed a settee and chair in a shop window.

    " Ooo that's nice" says Mrs C. " and it will go with the carpet in the front room".

    "Will it" says I disinterestedly.

    Next news I am in the shop, the plastic is out and beer vouchers are disappearing into the ether.

    How did that happen? We hadn,t gone out to buy a suite! We hadn,t even discussed buying a suite!

    So its over to you. "I only went out for a few pints and ended up buying a.....................................

    ( Kebabs are a given )

    My normal problem is wondering what the hell I spent the money on. I'm often sure I've been secretly robbed, mugged or dropped a tenner:- the empty wallet and nothing to show for it syndrome.

    I have bought more than a few daft things when drunk, I bought a very large picture frame once then had the problem of carrying the thing round the rest of the day and getting it home on the train and bus.

    Ha ha, and I bet you had a perfectly good 2 piece suite already....

    On the very same theme of non understandable female logic

    The last time we were shopping in Watford and I did my usual, 'lets split up and I'll meet you in the 'spoons in an hour', she came in the pub with a new king size duvet.

    " Look what they had in ths sale in John Lewis, it should have been £120 and I got it for £60, so I've saved us £60.00"
    " But we don't need a new Duvet, we've got a pefectly good one already, so you'v cost me £60.00"
    No no I've saved us £60"
    "But it's £60 we did not need to spend.."
    " No no...." and so it went on for two pints of Rebellion

    Not quite the same as it doesn't include going out but I tend to find CDs and DVDs arrive regularly without my prior knowledge. That is until I check my e-mail. I should really not go on-line when pi55ed, I've bought some shockers.

    A twenty four bottle, wrought iron wine rack.

    WHY ?

    Wine bottles in this house are barely out of the shopping bag before they are emptied.

    Utter waste of money.

    Spare a thought for Mr Bracegirdle of Tipton, who in 1692 went to the pub and ended up buying a wife! (of one John Whitehouse)

    Yes I met the wife in a Pub 30 years ago And I’ve still got the hang over too prove it. Still Marred though.
    Strangest things I’ve brought in a Pub is a box of 20 pieces of frozen Cod in Beer Batter & a Push Bike.
    Don't You just hate Pubs that say
