Pointless Crap (But Very Well Marketed)
Air fresheners (clean your house and open the windows, you slob.)
Insecticide? (an almost imperceptible buzzing versus forcing your children to breathe toxic fumes that you paid to put there. Hmmm… decisions, decisions…)
The Toyota Prius (ecomentalist transport for the sanctimonious and stupid – it uses twice as much fuel as my Purple Wheelbarrow and costs three times as much.)
Shoe shops (Let’s all spend hours choosing shoes that aren’t waterproof or warm, hurt your legs, tear your soles and heels to shreds and make strangers say “tart” behind your back.) (Maybe I’m just still not getting this whole Women-Are-From-Venus thing?)
Bottled water (a bargain at only at twice the price of super unleaded. I wonder how they make it?)
5 blades on one razor (and yet it still takes exactly the same amount of time to remove exactly the same amount of fuzz. Well worth every penny.)
No, no, I have to disagree with the razor blade thing. In an economy drive I’ve bought a pack of 20 ultra cheap aldi own brand razors. Eeeeek, it’s like shaving with a blunt knife. I still have 19 to go and I’m wondering if I need to evolve into an unshaved look.
I’m sorry Gillette may not be the best a man can get but phew!! It really is close.

I bought a pack of ultra cheap Bic razors. Just as smooth as Gillette’s finest…
…the secret is to shave whilst you’re still under the shower, just before you get out.
Try it – you don’t even need shaving foam.

Gorgeous shoes are essential in life even if they are uncomfortable. You may disagree, but I am right and you are wrong.
