Sebastien Tellier - La Ritournelle (Mr Dan's Magic Wand Mix)
In my defence, £16 minus a beer equals not a very good cricket set.
Also I would have missed the chance to set up in the garden on a summer evening, and send down a few googlies to me old mum. And feel like I was 8 again. Can't really put a price on that.
(This particular piece of uncharacteristic soppiness and nostalgia I will put down to this bloody piece of music + video which despite myself I can't stop listening to + watching. It's from 2005 so apologies if it's old news.)

Of course, I've got the self-employed mentality: I'd also take into account lost time. You probably wasted a good four hours, which to a self-employed man is a good 100€ lost.
This is a beautifully pointless argument. I did indeed waste 5 weekend hours, although were I still self employed I could easily have been resourceful enough to whip out my laptop while travelling.
As it was I read a book, The Man Who Was Thursday (A Nightmare), by GK Chesterton, which I thoroughly recommend.
So there.
I don't a uniquely self-employed mentality to be honest: more and more I'm looking at the "how much is my time worth?" argument. In this one, as previously noted, I did question the value of this.
A £4/hour gross valuation seems pretty sound, especially as once one had purchased another cricket set this would have cost about the same - and if the original one was quite a good or expensive one, significant moneyage was saved. Train journeys can be quite therapeutic too, unless you do it regularly and/or you have to travel through MK. Reading a good book/flirting with a bint on the train is also better for one than an afternoon on the computer, and significantly better than an afternoon injecting one's self with heroin. The decision is one of the better ones he could have made.
I appear to be supporting Macatumbas. Must insult quickly and indiscriminately.
You smell of hammers.
