Clothes.

I can't believe people actually buy shirts at like £50-£150. I recently bought a beauty of a Nike polo shirt for £19.99 and felt awful.

I'd rather buy a £25 dress from Sainsburys that fit well and showed off my curves, than buy a £500 dress that didn't hug my incredible body.

People that buy labels just because it's trendy are pathetic in my opinion.

Incredible body my arse.

Before I retired I had to wear a shirt and tie, when I retired I kept a bout 20 dress shirts and gave 75 to the Salvation Army. Currently have about 30 suits, 10 blazers and sports coats and 60 pairs of dress pants. I wear polo shirts and jeans most of the time, actually have over 300 polo shirts. Keep all the shirts and suits in 5 closets and have a separate closet which only has black clothes in it, one for sweatshirts, one for sweaters and another which has only Bolton shirts (65 of them) in it - that is in my 'Bolton Wanderers Room'. Had a decorator in a couple of years ago and he asked why I had so many clothes as I would never wear them all. Keep saying I'm not buying anymore, but then I see one I like and it ends up in a closet. I have some shirts which must be over 3 years old which I still haven't worn.

So your hobby is shopping Wayne? My missus would love you.

Don't know if it's a 'hobby' , just in a position where if I see something I like I get it. I'm also a bit of a collector. I have over 1500 items of Bolton Wanderers memorabilia, have over 30,000 Silver age comics (mostly Marvel, but some DC), a large collection of cigarette football cards, over 400 Star Wars figures (unopened), about the same amount of Marvel and Spawn figures, approximately 600 pieces of Royal commemortives, over 200 beer steins and over 2000 music CD's. Everything is cataloged and insured, started as a hobby, then considered it as something which would fund my retirement. By the time I retired I found I didn't need to sell any of it and in fact I just added a Queen Elizabeth Coronation plate last week.

Out of interest, do you get your collections out and play with them from time to time? Or do they just gather dust in the attic?

I bet he still plays with his star wars figures.

All the things you could have done and you chose to collect comics. FFS, God should ask for a refund.

When you're stood at the Pearly Gates you're going to feel a right tit explaining the highlight of your life was a Marvel comic from 1965.
