That rings a bell!

Except that Vicky forgot the special tools which have to be bought so
that they can fix the 'thing' when it breaks, the spares don't fit and
the 'thing' itself is now not made any more. Then there's the matches
that will have to be bought to set fire to the expletive deleted
'thing' when it ends up on the bonfire! ;-)

Oh /I/ would be so lucky! If the damned things ended on a bonfire at
least they wouldn't keep cluttering up my damned house!!
