Have you ever treated yourself to something this time of year? You know, with Santa gearing up and money being tight? Have you still gone ahead and got something for yourself anyway?
I'm in two minds. I collect VHS horror and I'm tempted to get one I've seen on offer. Very tempted. But that old black dog Guilt is bugging me and time is running out!
How do you feel about personal treats this time of year readers?
That’s an urge I’ve had to fight many times. But when I see all my unpaid bills, and recall all of the folks around the world that have nothing, I refrain - usually! At other times, I indulge, and then suffer terrible guilt! It’s a funny phenomena. SFZ
ReplyDeleteIf its a of a kind and no stupid money, id buy it!
ReplyDeleteIt is Christmas - once all the bills are paid, it is time for a treat or two. I am hoping to get out to a model shop before Christmas, and there are a few things on my shopping list.
ReplyDeleteI got it. I got the video! Santa said do it!
ReplyDeleteYou have to tell us what you bought now! SFZ
DeleteAnd your prize video is... ??? SFZ
DeleteThe California Axe Massacre or just AXE, SF. . The UK version costs an arm and a leg so I got the cheaper German version, which I'll make a UK sleeve for and be happy! Part of a rare group of 39 videos in 1980's UK known as the Nasties.
ReplyDeleteare the arm and leg severed in the film?
DeleteHa ha! The parting shot!
DeleteCongratulations. That is not one I have, although all my Nasties are on DVD, not video. I am sure you are a very happy owl.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul.
DeleteAxe! Aka Lisa Lisa! A great 70s thriller, which I was lucky enough to see at the drive-in. I am impressed! SFZ
DeleteWow! Youve seen it at a drive-in! How cool SF. Yes, Lisa Lisa, aka AXE, number three alphabetically in the UK DPP39 list of prosecuted videos in the mid 198o's. Very collectable now and a fun great challenge to find them on Video given they all have various aliases around the world.
DeleteFor Christmas, I got something for my wife that I wanted, but she wanted even more.
ReplyDeleteThe Complete series of "Shawn the Sheep".
(There may also be something black, lacy and filmy in her presents.)
Shhh...!
Ha ha, what a great gift Scott! Always good to get what you want, and the secret lacy thingy may go down well too!
