Jan. 3rd, 2005 03:53 pmWell, I got given vouchers. What else can you do?
They don't have much there these days that I wouldn't rather get somewhere else (they played some Le Tigre while I was in, but that's more of an Avalanche purchase, I think). I got the Banshees B-side box, though (as none of you bastards thought to get it me for Christmas - it was exactly the same story with the Joy Division set five or so years back - I even got it for someone else rather than myself and was left cursing afterwards when it was sold out everywhere . . .) and some cheap DVDs. Not that that was the intention, of course - I spent several minutes agonising over whether to pay for a full-price copy of the 4+ hour miniseries version of Das Boot, but when I got to the till they rang it up and there was a tenner off. I am inadvertently a very miserly shopper, apparently.
No drawers. The shop on Princes Street doesn't do furniture, so I have to go to the Glasgow one to see if I like them.
