Shiny Kit Syndrome

This is a disease chaps suffer from.

You know you have it when you make absurd self justifying claims for things you don't need.

Man maths applies.

You know how the converstation goes.

"Selling the astra and buying a porsche will save us money in the long run dear..."

"I need a 7L 300bar twin set with air integrated computer and O2 cleaning -its a question of safety.."

"I need the macbook pro - its about productivity"

Recent research has proven this is not solely confined to the male of the species.

Women are not usually afflicted by shiny kit syndrome - some do indeed glaze over when faced with new gadgets. They then make the same claims to "need" things.

The question is does it extend beyond shoes and handbags?

Depends on the lady in question. It can be books, jewels, spondulicks etc. Some of the Ladies even profess to understand motorcars.
