The Materialism Thread (a.k.a Things I Want)

Recommended Posts

(Not sure if this will fly...)

 

I often see on The Post Your Purchases thread stuff people've bought, which I think "I want that.". So why not have a thread of stuff you want?

 

Don't go overboard, because it ruins it if you post too much at once. See this as a place you can pop into after seeing something you want, which you think other people would want too, and sharing it.

 

After all, wanting something is half the fun of having it.

 

 

Atm, my biggest want is:

Are we talking just stuff we can't afford atm/haven't gotten around to buying, or stuff that hasn't come out yet?

Packet of walkers crisps back I ate during Emmerdale. Didn't go down right and it's scratched my throat.

Enough money to actually invest in a solid form of music again, please. This temporary age of the intangible is wearisome and troubling.

Peace on Earth, goodwill among mankind, cures against illnesses ... what?

 

If I come up with something, I'll post it.

A leather jacket from river island. Reason I haven't bought it is the price tag. £130.

You can do my wardrobe when I go on tour Paj. The concept is "High fashion space dominator."

 

There will be covers.

Amongst other things.

 

Also want this. Not a case of wanting to buy one, we just have a shit tonne of them in the attic and I want them down. Two of the ones I recognise:

 

Hohner-7544-48-Amadeus-Chromatic-Harmonica.jpg

They were my Grandads and I reckon they might be worth a fair bit. Not that I'd sell them, I want to learn to play them.

I want this recession to end so I can walk into stores and not think: "Shit, this stuff has doubled in price".

Mass Effect 2. This is my only real materialistic desire for the next year so far.

 

I would also like a new car and possibly a sound system [edit - I meant like, digital surround sound for my TV). And a huge house. But these things are not on the board right now.
