Hmmph.

Got drunk one night and spent £200+ on crappy domains I thought were funneh and awesome at the time. - I guess we have all been here.



... and £300 on a cross-trainer I hardly ever use.

Whats your worst ever purchases? I figure I'm easily beat here.

What a coincidence! I only discovered this drink today when I was out and saw it at this old store.

Too much. (If you're talking about the consumed amount that is)

lost $50,000 in stock with iAsiaWorks a few years ago when they went under, they were note "were" the first and only hosting company in eleven countries in Asia Pacific.

The day they closed trading it actually rose about 300% then bottomed, I had my sell order in but they closed trading on that stock.

I was part of the class action lawsuit and recovered $1498 of my $50,000 investment

This is when I finally stopped the day trading and starting diversifying my portfolio.

I'd say my worst buy was a suit from Men's Warehouse, I wore the thing twice and the pants ripped. My second worst buy was from that same day, a dress shoe from a joint called The Big Shoe gave me blisters in one night (I have 16 EEE feet, I have to go to specialty stores). Never going to either again.

Around $1000 on a mac.. Used around 6 times and still sat here gathering dust

Getting to something when I start complaining about petrol going upto £1.20
