Shopping shame

[sigu]

Dr X said, "There are some things it is simply too embarrassing to buy for yourself. You know, like pot noodle or porn or the LOEG DVD."

I think this has some Friday thread mileage!

My suggestions:

Prog 1228 - See below for explanation. Oh the embarrassment!

Fake meat products - Linda McCartney sausages, 'Fakon', etc. Very silly idea.

Listening to Radio 1 - not a purchase, but a consumer choice which I'm not proud of. Only because Mark and Lard were on there. Won't need to do that any more.

Prog 1228 - See below for explanation. Oh the embarrassment!

Anyway, I'm sure you lot can come up with better ones than that.

What about Meg 4.18?

I'm glad this came in a plain envelope.

I still haven't read this in front of my better half.

There's some sort of theme running through all those covers. Can't wuite put my finger on it...

[Rio De Fideldo]

Anyone know why that didn't post?

And if anyone could post it for me I'd be very grateful.

Oh the humiliation

TO THIS DAY my parents have not ceased mocking me about the mysterious "three-breasted woman" appearing on the cover. Awful, just awful...

God, I hate 2000AD...

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Back when LPs were being phased out, a mate of mine asked me to buy a Kylie LP for him. Not becuase he was a fan, and not because he wanted to listen to it - he didn't even have a record player on his hi-fi - but because it had a life size gatefold poster of her in it in a very provocative pose.

From memory, it cost ?1.99 and he gave me ?20 to pay. He was too embarrassed to join the long queue of rabid bargain grabbers, most of whom were over fifty and were either unaware CDs were "in", wanted to stock up their nuclear shelters with LPs, or were just too mean to pass up a bargain.

So I joined the queue of about ten or twelve people. I was only buying the Kylie LP - nothing for myself.

Anyway, this pal thought it would be a laugh to point at me and pass loud comments like "Look at him, he's buying that for the dirty pictures inside". All the old grannies completing their Daniel O'Donnell collection thought I was some kind of perv.

Until I got to the checkout and paid, then left the LP and change on the counter and said:

"There's your album Alan, you'd better pick it up with your change."

Heh.

How about this one (518) from back in the day...

Well it's a cover by Fabry and it's very well drawn, with Slaine looking suitably pissed off at a weasely looking Ukko, but it's hard to get away from the fact that you're picking up a prog from the shelf with, basically, a bare arse on it. A blokes bare arse.
