on buying The Boosh for the second time

Two years ago I had surgery to remove precancerous cells from my cervix.
(already this is an excellent story)
In my convalescence, my friend Dave lent me series 1 and 2 of the Mighty Boosh, and I promptly fell in love.
With someone else's, maybe my mum's, maybe Robert's, credit card, I bought my own copies of The Mighty Boosh series 1 and 2 from amazon. Dot co, dot ewe kay.

I have watched the shit out of those dvds.

This morning I'm looking at my gmails, and I see that I can preorder the COMPLETE mighty boosh series 1, 2 and 3, at a 26% discount from amazon etc. It has heaps of awesome extra shiz with it, like stickers. 25 pounds and 98 pence, rather than 34.99.

I actually, genuinely have to buy this.

Being the opportunist that I am, I look to see what other bargains I can get. Lo and behold, if I buy the Boosh book at the same time it'll only cost me 33 pounds and and 97 pence FOR THEM BOTH.
This is way too much of a bargain. I am genuinely salivating.

On to my trusted currency converter, and I see that 33 pounds and 97 pence converts to about 90 NZD.
$90.
More than the price of my prescription sunglasses, although that is it's own unique bargain.

Plus I can tack on the Mighty Boosh 2009 calendar for only 4 pounds and 99 pence.

I did some quick maths. With the discounts and the buying-them-together and all that other malarchy, I'm saving 24 pounds on a purchase I would most definitely have otherwise made.

This is absurd. I'm buying it right now. I'll just pretend my brain works in pounds...

Boosh party at my house, just as soon as that shiz arrives... Oh yeah, Christmas present to myself...

Damn the fact I really need a new laptop...
