    Income tax, tv licence, car tax, health insurance, and coffee in a place that serves you a cup of foam, for €3.50.

    Ask for your coffee with less foam! Or just get a late, its pretty much a cappuccino with less foam and no chocolate sprinkled on it!

    The reason for the foam - it acts as an insulator and helps retain the heat of the liquid, allowing it to stay hotter longer (from Wikipedia)

    Tadaaa!

    SKY+ HD with full HD lcd is amazing and a huge difference in quality!

    One thing I've always wondered is why anybody spends money on jewelry.

    It doesn't even do anything! Complete waste of money.

    And what a lot of people consider to be 'art'. Yeah, a lot of that 'art' stuff is really just a load of expensive bollix. :pac:

    For me:

    OTT weddings. Go to the Registry Office and have a weekend in Donegal to follow.

    Boy Racers. Whats wrong with a 3 grand car?

    State of the art HDTVs Can you really tell the difference enough to justify the extra cost between that and a normal one?

    Sky +. No explanation needed.

    Any herbal. alternative, holistic, homeopathic therapy or drug. There are a load of charlatans charging 50 quid an hour for utter sh!te.

    Organic food. Meh. Grow your own.

    Extended Warranties. Just say no.

    Pets.


    3 grand, that's a lot of money to spend on a car in this current economy... we will all be driving old banger's like we used to before the celtic tiger came along.. ye, those were the days

    cars. cars get you from A to B and you can get decent ones for 4,000 to 10,000. i wouldn spend a cent more. people who go off and spend 25,000 on a piece of tin should be shot.
