When you get bored in a charity shop, at first you can feel a little glum. This can affect the environment around you. If left alone on the shop floor a long time, you might be forced to make your own friends. However eventually, you might be persuaded to use you boredom for more constructive means. Tidying … Continue reading »
Every Saturday morning before work, since I have to wake up before the sun and walk around in the cold to the bus stop, my sister and I like to treat ourselves to a McDonald’s breakfast. (Just took me a couple minutes to remember whether McDonald’s had an apostrophe in it or not. Waterstones have recently … Continue reading »
(Quick note – updated my About page, and I will be posting on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday from now on.) I found a bunch of old camera’s in a box that had just recently been donated. There’s was five of them in total but I’ll be showing off three of the most interesting ones here. … Continue reading »
Following on from yesterday, this is giving menswear some equal opportunities. Before I start though I will have a quick gripe. Menswear is not taking enough chances. Sure, high up in high fashion town, the oddest of creations grace both the male and female shows. I may do a post about it but for now … Continue reading »

See if you can guess who they’re meant to be. I … Continue reading »
A donkey’s arse and a mug. By the way, there is no branding at all. No holiday destinations, no resorts, no hotels, nothing is named here. Someone simply put an arse, on a mug. For no reason. There isn’t even a front to this donkey. If whoever made this had made it a mug with … Continue reading »
An absolutely glorious piece of Christian literature came into the shop, and when you look through it it’s obviously a present given to someone on a special occasion. The gold leaf on the side has been given no justice with my little phone’s camera, but it caught the light wonderfully. I’ve not got a proper … Continue reading »
Although I didn’t find this particular piece in a charity shop (it was Dunelm Mill) I still thought it was pretty funny. A lovely wedding gift for a headless ghoul, or a joke present for Mr Crane. Either works for me.
My sister showed this to me and asked me what was wrong with it. Not being a football fan, it took me a couple seconds. How about you? Now unless I’m missing something in the world of football, I’m not sure how something like this would actually come into existence. Are the key-rings for both … Continue reading »
