Put it all on a 5/1 bet so that you can afford some car insurance.
Put it on a 100/1 bet so you can get insurance and a nice car along with it.
Nob two strippers in some of the shadier lapdancing clubs(yep,500 euro a time just so you know that the prossie isnt one who is sticking needles in her arm with your cash)
Buy a grand worth of cocaine and sell it for 5 times the profit in some provincial hicktown where it hasnt yet taken off
Convert it to crack and sell it to some skangers for a nice profit

TomTom

WhiteWashMan

bury it and dig it back up when its worth something

Tazzle

keep it in an account until some day you see something you really like and must get, that way you won't regret buying something on the spur of the moment simply because you suddenly got alot of money.

red_ice

give it to me?

Repli

Put it all on federico to be evicted on friday
I would!

May be only because I have a slight gambling problem, don't listen to me

Funky

buy 100000 penny sweets

Lyconix

Computer upgrade if you're into gaming...

If theres nothing in particular you want at the moment... stash it and wait!

Pugsley

Throw it in a bank account for just it, collect it when your 50 and see how much you got then

Antisocialiser

Put it all on federico to be evicted on friday

Smb repli, him and jon are the only two with a bit of character and not conforming and being inoffensive to every1 else :P

I wud use the money to persuade bb to evict only one housemate i.e cameron

You cant get penny sweets any more. Remember them 10 penny bags, they're now a euro.

if you were suddenly given a grand would you invest...?
i think not...
I was thinking a mini fridge...
its like a fridge except mini...
oooOOOHHHHhhh
I dunno any good dvds...or books...or games...or foolish investments(like enron i hear they're a fine company)...
Maybe boards.ie needs some money...
no they're rich

i managed to spend a grand/just over over that weekend there (thurs-->monday)

its alot easier than you think...

€350 on new computer stuff as i fried the main stuff inside my old one

€200 sent back home to my parents to pay off their mastercard that i was abusing

€400 on a all weekend binge session (although 150 of this was lent to my brother to come out with me)

€100 to make my dvd collection look even better than it is

and rent & bills ofcourse which is mandatory..

a grand/couple of grans seems like alot of money till you manage to blow it in a few days.. I would say to take care with it, but then i would just be hypocritical

your 18, go out and enjoy yaself.. I know the last thing on my mind would be to "put it in a savings account" back when i was your age (or even now for that matter..)

use it to go on a holiday..
you could get a great last minute deal for next to nothing.
then you'd have spending money for when you get there and money to buy some snazzy new clothes too!

Perhaps I should have done this last year when my dad won 70,000 .

They just went and spent it on things like mortgage repayment.

... and that home cinema BUT I DONT GET TO USE IT!!!

Tyrrial

get a shít load of lotto tickets!
that way you can't loose...!

Nemici

go to the top of a very large building on sheriff street and throw it off the top and you can watch the heroin heads go freakin nuts.

film it and send it to worlds scariest riots and get five grand for most violent and disturbing video.

all profit.

I think the hroin addict one would be funnier if i threw down monopoly money so i could watch them cry .....
Is there any cool gadgets out at the monet that i could buy!??

Unfortunaly its not even enough to hang yourself after you realise you've spent a grand on a cable.

Praetorian

€1000 is so little these days

I've somehow blown 2.5 k this month...and I haven't even went on holidays yet!

neohoki
