Doing a JollyBob - see OOUI.

OOUI - Ordering Online Under the Influence, meaning purchasing or making bid on wargames related objects on the web while inebriated. Usage example

Damn! I hadn't read this thread until now and you've gone and made me immortal!  lol Oh, I hope it catches on... I can see myself browsing a yet to be created forum in a few years time and finding somebody moaning that they appear to have JollyBobbed a load of figures they didn't really want...
