Hurrah for the tax on the poor! Good news readers! The baby Jesus has blessed my festering wallet to the tune of £40. One line from the three lucky dips I bought at the weekend came in - and about time too. Prize money for four numbers in one line for last Saturday's draw came to £43 and nuffink pence. So deducting the three nuggets that was actually spent on the ticket, that leaves me with forty quid flush (as opposed to flushed down the pan never to be seen again the hundreds of pounds that I've gambled over the years without any return).This new found wealth has left me with six available choices of what to spend the money on. Rather than blow the whole lot stupidly on Hungarian palinka, class a drugs, fast cars and even faster women, I've decided to write a list of sensible purchases on what my couple of scores will get me. Focusing on value, neccessity and everlasting enjoyment, here are the choices:
Some much needed laminate flooring to 'tart up' the kitchen - 8 square metres = approx £39 and a bit from Wickes
£40 charity donation for the prevention of dogs with two noses being strangled by glue sniffing Slayer fans
Beer fund for the forthcoming Undertones gig (John Peel not included) in Br*ght*n = not much change to you, ducky...
Two pairs of Converse high tops at twenty knicker a pair from eBay
40 lucky dips for next Saturday's lotto draw
One silver bullet plus marksman to put Dean Windass (above) out of his misery this Saturday at Selhurst Park. I'm sure it would make a lot of Leeds United fans happier as they climb League One (that's the same league that Brentford used to call their home - but hey! That's so "yesterday's papers, man...").So my little Finbars, what should I 'spunk' the money on? How would you 'splash out'? Decent kitchen that I can walk on with bare feet or augment my chances for another lottery win? Save raggedy bi-proboscis canine from certain death or quality footwear? Deano for the bullet or piss up in a gay bar? The choice, as they say, is yours...
