Went shopping with a bad hangover and somehow ended up buying a massive keyboard because it was on sale for £100.

I went home convinced I was going to learn the piano and after 20 minutes testing all the sound effects never touched it again.

C'mon then, let's hear yours and a special prize for whoever posts a picture of Steinsson

Spent a good few grand on a van and ended up going to the tip in it every blue moon

T'other half thought at the time I was barking which made getting rid a trifle embarrassing.
Oh nearly forgot 400 on a petrol generator because it was a bargain and 3 years later ain't never been used so I'm dead against these new nuke power stations so I can try it when lights go out

Drunk? You must have been comatose. They are just horrible.

Those checked trousers that were all the rage down Ritzy's back in '92.

Bought 5 cook books, thinking I'll teach myself to cook ...

1 year later, haven't opened the buggers, and still doing vegemite on toast for dinner.

Not a "buy" but a swap. Swapped my car with a bloke in a pub for his. I was convinced mine wasn't working properly and that I'd been ripped off on it. Turned out that he was still driving the one I swapped about 10 years later...The one I got in return lasted about a month.

Imported a Dreamcast from America as I couldn't wait the extra 6 months for the European version to come out. Got hit by £45 import tax and it wouldn't play any EU games.

A Gus Demmy style check suit. Wore it twice, left it in the wardrobe for two years then gave it to a charity shop.

Nah nah nah. Crazy Taxi was ace. Fair enough, I was stoned and fell asleep after my second go, but I had fun in those two goes.

The Omni Pump Lite 'Fire' has a leather and suede upper that is predominantly red and accented with orange, black and yellow. When this color scheme is combined with a slight red speckling on the yellow vertical outer sole and the orange basketball shaped pump with yellow lettering on the tongue this joint has all the markings of a some may say 90s but I say 80s retro classic.

i actually like them, but they are just too unusual to get away with round here, there's no way i can pull them off! Dioufy would wear em!

Fancied having another go at learning a musical instrument a couple of years aso and on impulse chose the Banjo. I was regretting it almost as I was leaving the shop. Forced myself to have a go an hour a day for several weeks, then gave up.

Two things in life I'd love to be able to do - play an instrument and learn a foreign language - but obviously not enough to stick at it.

Paid £95 in Afflecks for a pair of pants with absolutely gigantic baggy bottoms on them in my uni days, they even had UV bits on them as well. Only wore them once, they weighed a ton.

what the hell was that all about?!

Should stick them on ebay or something and try to get a bit of money back on them. What I'd give to have a spare £95 knocking around right now.

Though I would have put money on your first choice being those rose tinted spectacles that you have never worn.
