Stock up on cans and skins and then spend twice as much money on Friday, then we can all sleep better on Saturday. .|..|

There was a report on Buy Nothing Day in yesterdays Irish Independent entitled ......well I can`t remember exactly but something like: "Shoppers Take The Day Off" with quotes from the "organisers" about how it should become a major event here.

Sounded like a load of bollocks.

I haven't heard much about it, there's a poster in college though. At least we'll still be able to buy the SWP paper on the day though, those thick fuckers.

I agree that Buy Nothing Day is what you make of it.

The article in the paper was a load of bollocks though. It was like: sleep in on saturday and don`t do your crimbo shopping because it`s Buy Nothing Day; you should wait until next weekend.

Well, I'm not going to wait around for everyone else to tell me when to have a Buy Nothing Day. I bought absolutely nothing today, only 2 bus journeys (I paid for my 2 easy the day before). I plan on buying absolutely nothing this weekend either, preferring instead to do some old-fashioned studying (which the rest of you should do too, as this is almost exclusively a college-punx board over the weekdays) I then plan on buying things like groceries and maybe even a luxury item on Monday; then with any luck, back to the protest on Tuesday. I hope to carry out these protests for the rest of my life, although I reserve judgement on which days of the week or month they'll be on.

Wish me luck!

Good luck Oly!

Well, I'm going to the very opposite, I'll get hold of all my food and toys and whatever I can get my greedy hands on withOUT having to pay for them. Oh no, actually I won't, I'll be in Roscommon.
