The lovely, mega-talented genius that is Edith Bowman was recently discussing impulse buys, which people have later regretted....

One of her listeners went shopping for a deodorant, and came back with an £800 television (!!).

Have any of you randomly bought anything which you're glad you did, or sincerely wish you hadn't?

[Zoot]

I once went to Birmingham to buy Comic Books and came back with a £450 Guitar

[Vivienne]

Genius, Zoot! these are the kinds of things I would do, so Edith's feature naturally appealed. How is your foot?

[Zoot]

Much better thank you, Occasionally I'll bend it the wrong way and get a pang of pain, but I hardly notice it now. Just got a stinking cold now.

[Vivienne]

Rub kiwi fruits under your armpits for your cold... this worked for me.. someone on R1's main message board suggested it. Genius.

[MK Chris]

I think you just happened to rub kiwis there when the cold would have gone away anyway. Old wive's tale.

[Vivienne]

No, topher! The improvement, I can assure you, was quite dramatic!! Do you think kiwis would make you vanish altogether...

[Zoot]

I know Kiwis are supposed to help get rid of a cold, but I thought you just ate them because of their high Vitamin C content?

[Vivienne]

bubble machines from TESCO? How much are these? Hope your cold improves

[Vivienne]

I know Kiwis are supposed to help get rid of a cold, but I thought you just ate them because of their high Vitamin C content?

apparently rubbing them under armpits means the vitamin c goes directly into the glands... at least this is what the "one life" brigade on main message board told me

[Vivienne]

what are they tho'? For blowing lots of bubbles?

[Vivienne]

genius... gonna get myself one..... hours of fun.

[Vivienne]

Right, I'll get myself a bubble gun and a bubble machine.

[Ballbag]

genius... gonna get myself one..... hours of fun.

Viv, are you five years old?

[Vivienne]

no.... brain of mince. What's with the change of username?

[Ballbag]

I grew tedious of logging in with a three word name, and thus I have reduced the number of keystokes it takes me to log on.

I minor time saver, but a time saver nonetheless.

[Vivienne]

you should have called yourself "balls"... that's what I always call you... genius.

[Ballbag]

you should have called yourself "balls"... that's what I always call you... genius.

You truly are a genius Div... well done.

[Vivienne]

stop calling me "div", ba'heid.

[Yudster]

Stop calling him balls, and he might.

[Vivienne]

why should I... it's what I have always called him.

[Ballbag]

And I've always called you Div.

[MK Chris]

If you are allowed to call people what you like, why shouldn't people be allowed to call you what they like?

[S4B]

because it's not polite to call him that! Show some respect and you may get some back

[Vivienne]

I never meant to be disrespectful, s4b... not in the slightest!! And he's calling me an idiot, which is a bit of a different matter !
