Do you ever buy stuff and instantly regret it?
Me too.
I bought that Beatles box set recently, and the moment I pressed the buy with one click button on Amazon, I knew I shouldn't have. I was watching some of those Beatles shows on BBC4, thinking how amazing it is that they remain so huge, realised there was so much about them I didn't know, musically, so popped upstairs and ordered the bloody thing. I'd had a couple of drinks, the mood was mellow. Say no more.
I don't even care for the Beatles that much. I prefer the Stones. But I thought it would be an education. I have to say, it's enjoyable, but I could probably have saved myself nearly £200, as I had a few of the albums already, and I'm sure I could have found the others for less of a price, though their albums don't really get discounted.
That's not the only thing I've bought that I regret of course. There was a white pine kitchen table that was so bleak it made the kitchen look like a murderer's flat in Wallander, a Haysi Fantayzee album, a small, grey sofa, a Fiat Panda that was like driving a sewing machine, the Rhoda box set, and a small matter of jukebox that I still can't shift. Anyone interested?
