Pound land.

This community sometimes reminds me of American Psycho.

It's a tad daunting how materialistic our society is. We spend most of our lives undermining each others existence by benchmarking our possessions, assets and standards against each other, when all those things in essence are probably the least of our individual achievements or worries.

But I guess we have to sustain an active trophy cabinet of life to warn others of our success, be it knowing a good quality watch, having a solid opinion on what is or isn't a 'retro shoe' or believing that price determines quality (since when did we fall for that one, by the way?). Anyway, I digress.

Ahaha, found that funny

Although you're right, this place makes me feel like my PC sucks. Must get Core i7! o.O

Poundland policy says you must 21.

In east Yorkshire you must ask someone if they look 23 or under if they have proof of ID if buying Alcohol or Cigs.

Alcohol content.

Wouldn't admit buying perfume for a present from a pound shop though (nor ever do it, I hasten to add).

Who would drink perfume!?

Steve2000 · 24 Dec 2008 at 20:59

I'm 52 and was challenged for ID a few months ago whilst attempting to buy my fags.

I suppose it's my boyish good looks.

Yes, because a 5 Series is really the type of car to be snobby in.

Mate, I'm 17, no job, don't get EMA, and I've bought my whole family presents which are worth for than that! Pretty decent presents aswell, not that pricey, but not cheap quality such as yours

Same.

poopots said:
Sooooo, where does this money come from to buy these nice presents?

I buy my family presents, out of their own money.

'woohoo poundland stuff, what i've always wanted'

Spinal2k2 · 24 Dec 2008 at 22:03

poundland is good for *some* stuff, depending on what they have.

In newcastle they used to have a big store in the now nocked down and currently been rebuilt eldon square bit. Now its a stupidly squashed shop that never has anything good.

The old one used to always have some good computer, electronic stuff. i remember the old days of the old eldon sq £ land when i got a £20 gamecube controller, ps2 power stand, kingstong (poss spellng mistake) pc stuff.good dvds, inc some pc games etc.

Now its is just utter cwap - go in, with it been so small you get smashed knee caps from the baskets of nutters in there.

Jesus, I'm felling all sorry for Poopants now.

Tis Christmas after all and if you want some money to get your mother a decent present... Not from bloomin poundland...
I'll give you the cash.
