I'm not quite that bad, but I do have long (and different) wish lists at both Amazon UK and Amazon US. Since I'm (apparently) difficult to buy presents for, it helps family and friends but I do make a point of saying that they don't have to actually buy the items through Amazon.


I also have long "wants lists" with eBay, GEMM, Musicstack and other smaller record dealers' websites.

Yes

It is crazy and a sign that you are infected with "Affluenza" - the need to keep up with the Jones which ultimatly makes us twice as prone to depression, Anxiety and addition then people in developing nations.....


Personally I would recommend reading Affluenza by Oliver Jame (ISBN : 9780091900113) - currently available at Amazon (Doh - 232 items !!!) (6)

Nah, LuvPeckham - it's already on the list!

Hmm... but what about his follow up book - The Selfish Capitalist.


"The Selfish Capitalist" provides more detailed substantiation for the claims made in "Affluenza". It looks deeper into the origins of the virus and outlines the political, economic and social climate in which it has grown.A modern-day "The State We're In"

Selfish Capitalist at Amazon


:-S


(sadly I also have bought both of these books from Amazon before realising the irony of buying them in the first place !!)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
