You get both! The star because you are setting a good example for the weaker members (not mention any names Stephen) and the extra big magic CUP(S) cake for helping me out with that wand business.

Blapsing Beard, that is one of the typical sympoms of a CUPS sufferer! They always convince themselves that their bank breaking purchases are worth it :roll:!

As this is now running into 9 pages surely this thread deserves it's own forum?

By the way I sated my CUPS on some 1960's Antique Handcuffs last night, although thinking about it these could be useful in resisting future purchases... :wink:

Well said Flash, I totally agree! This thread does deserve it's own forum!
As we all very well know that CUPS is something all members can relate to! Whether your a junior or senior member or whether your into coins, cards, ropes or even handcuffs :shock: you still most probably suffer from this terrible disorder :cry:.

Yes, a CUPS forum! I can see it now... a place where all brothers (and a few sisters) join together to fight this terrible problem that is destroying our livelihood, our families, even our neighbours dog! A place free of reviews and relentless advertising! A place full of tranquillity where members can cry on each other shoulders and sooth their pain with magic cakes, cups of tea and a little ale (note: too much of the latter and you will be seeking an additional support group :wink:)!

I walk down the Strand most days, and the temptation to walk into Davenports is huge. The only thing that puts me off is that the Charing Cross market area smells of wee.

Yes it does. That is all down to a man we should all call our friend, The CUPS Tramp.

It is a little know fact that the CUPS Tramp (or the Great Blagini as he was known) is an ex magician who actually went bankrupt from his CUPS addiction, and now he roams the hallowed halls of the Charing Cross Arcade, trying to save new budding magicians from a similar fate.

He of couse does this by weeing outside the shop (and it has be rumoured on the occasional customer)

So next time you are there - spare a thought for Blagini, and maybe give him a a few coins and ask him to show you a trick...

I'd wondered whether he might have been magic. I've certainly seen him making some cheap cider disappear.

There is of course the wierd muscle shop at the other end of the arcade. Possibly we should have to do 100 pressups in there, and buy some obscure piece of gym equipment before going into Davenport's. If we had to hand over one of those "high energy, low carb, diet energy bars" (hmm...) in order to get in, it might help the CUPS sufferers.

I bet some poor fools suffer from CUPS for that excercise c*** (not the best).

Hello everyone... My name's Maddened and I have CUPS. Mostly for books, since I'm into mentalism, and as I've learnt, the less gimmicks the better. But as I've also learnt, mentalism material are some of the most expensive ones out there... I'm lusting after Wonder Words for no logical reason! :(

I just managed to get my dealer to hold off a couple of orders of mine for a month (till I'm richer) which comes up to about 50 pounds... but just a couple of minutes ago, I'm already itching to add in another book to the hold-list. :cry:

May I have a magic cake please?

Sorry, Stephen pawned the oven for C.U.P.S. money (sounding like something out of Friends now :D). As such we have no ways to make the cakes. However, the Great Blagini had also urinated on a lot of the ones previously made, so you're not missing out on much :D.

In need of magic cookies as I have been away since Friday with NO internet shopping access. I never thought I had C.U.P.S this bad.

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.
