Ok...  Silly game time.


Take a pound (Americans - the exchange rate is $1.80 to the pound.  Lets call it $2.).  Go shopping.  Buy the coolest thing you can for that pound.  Take a picture and post it here (if you don't have photo taking/posting facilities, just describe it or something).


The person who buys the coolest thingummy (we'll have a voting poll) wins a JDBB mug like this:


JDBB Logo Mug


You know you want it!  Oh yes.


I'm not asking for hard evidence - I'm pretty much gonna trust you lot to be scrupulously honest

We did something similar in here last year, but we had to sell out £1 item on ebay, whoever got the highest sale won.


I actually cheated, cos I spent my pound on half a lager and took 3 beer mats from the pub while in there, believe it or not they sold for 80p!

Have you mentioned this parrot before?  Like a year ago or something.


Accessorisation shows initiative and cunning and may get you extra kudos!

I must admit, I did get it a year ago, but it was definitely a pound!


Ive got a pic here, how do you put the pic within the post like what you did with your big pound, rather than just attaching a file?

Upload it to photobucket (username: jammiedodgers - password: jammiedodgers) then copy and paste it.  Easy peasy.


An attachment'll do, though.

Very nice dude.  Classy, in fact.  I'm impressed.  It'll take some beating, but I have faith in my Jammie Subjects.


As for the mug... you can buy that and a whole range of exciting JDBB branded merchandise at my online store...  follow the 'buy stuff' link in the menu bar.


Sadly, Cafepress get all the profit, not me.  But the mug is soooo cool.

Not a chance, mate.  Behold the glory of my lunchtime purchase:



For the princely sum of £1, I was privileged to be able to purchase a fragrance impregnated cardboard promotional air freshener issued by Turkish Aerospace Industries circa 1996.


As it has never been out of it's hermetically(!?) sealed wrappings, I have every faith that it's fragrance is as fresh and pleasant today as it was when it was first packaged almost a decade ago.  If I hold it very close to my nose and inhale very hard, I can just make out it's pungent aroma which evokes memories of halcyon days gone by.


I am reliably informed by Steve the Temp that the silhouette on the logo is an F-16 Eagle.


Turkish Aerospace Industries are still around and appear to have the same logo.


My first attempt at purchasing a bizzare item for £1 failed miserably.  I went into Blue Star - a nasty chav clothing shop and attempted to purchase a clothes hanger with a plastic attachment in the shape of a lady's chest, presumably for the purpose of displaying t-shirts and the like.


I would so have won with that!
