I found this on Firewalker's thread.

Texting ........... Texting ............. have you injected tonight yet Kit? How's your blood sugars?

Tiger Prawns were yummy SW - I just spiced them up with sort of barbeque sauce and had them in a wholemeal bagel, with cheese melted on them - Monday is the only night we eat bread these days really, so we like a nice tasty filling - very filling though :eek:

Yum. dont know they were jolly low earlier so i injected v late after a 5.30 sandwich supper. Probably a bit high but it is ok they have been low recently so that might be good.

I feel happy Susan. I hope it lasts.

Hey i show this to my students as part of the AS Economics syllabus. Dude you are studying Economics now!!!! Fab video. Lots of points for contentious debate there but in essence i agree with it.

Now will it inspire any of us to avoid material/branded products?

Didn't we have this on Ann's thread ages ago? Glad it is still being watched.

Never seen it before,

I agree that there are some contentious issues that are not that straight forward. The clip is potraying everything as black and white, but the major point it is trying to get across is right.

We just buy loads of stuff, we are lemmings falling off a cliff

Veblen argued that consumers were active participants in conspicuous consumption. Kudos was obtained from buying certain elite brands and keeping up with the neighbours. It is stupid but we all do it to a certain degree. I reckon i am a simple soul but in comparison to a female living in the third world most of the stuff in my house is about maintaining wants rather than satisfying needs. It is quite humbling. I have learned so much since i have joined MSE. I was also frittering money away on garbage i didn't need with nothing to show for it. I still have a way to go.

Match is finished with no goals - stalemate :mad: Never mind, better than a loss
