So I'm A Stingy Bugger, I Admit It

Today was my monthly "I'm too stingy to actually buy Q magazine so I'll go to Borders on my lunchbreak and read it there."

Hmm, I don't know, there's something about paying close to $10 for an "imported-from-Blighty" magazine (that I'll read once and then throw away) that doesn't seem right to me. That little "I'll be buggered if I'm paying $10 for a bloody magazine" voice in the back of my head ensures that the cash stays nicely tucked away in the ol' wallet.[1]

Left the shop with a Java book though, so the aforementioned 'nicely tucked away cash' didn't stay 'nicely tucked away' for very long :-)

[1]Why don't I just ask my Sister to buy it and send it on over. When I visit Blighty this Summer I can just pay her back. Now there's an idea :-)
