My Eurovision Super Surprise Box arrived today.
Contents:
Man purse
Netherlands mouse pad
UK clock
4 2006 lanyards
2006 Fan Book (hard cover)
generic pendant
lapel pin
men's watch
Athen's 2006 watch
Cost of box: €.95 (for a €.95 value ostensibly)
Cost of items if purchased today individually:
Man purse €.00
Netherlands mouse pad €.50
UK clock ?
4 2006 lanyards €.00*
2006 Fan Book (hard cover) €.00
generic pendant €.00
generic pin € 5.00
men's watch ? no longer for sale
Athen's 2006 watch €.00
*You get 1 free lanyard with many purchases from the shop, otherwise they're arguably worthless...but for argument's sake I priced 3 at € each
Subtotal: €.50 minus the watch and clock. From the €.95 value, the clock and watch would have to be worth approximately €.50.
I'm not convinced

Date: 2006-11-04 01:40 am (UTC)Mushy peas make me fart. A lot. Or is it the ten pints of beer you have to drink before you are actually prepared to eat them?

Date: 2006-11-04 02:17 am (UTC)But I still get nauseated when I replay the site of a ginormous tray of mushy peas from overhead. Like a gazillion of them.
*shuddeer*
a sea of yorkshire pudding would've been fine

Date: 2006-11-05 01:04 am (UTC)My watch didn't work. But the girl selling them gave me another one. Then I lost it.
But the man purse is cool.
And damn. I need that clock.
