Ok...
Did you know it was my 21st birthday just recently?
You could get me a nice present?

Oriel

Buy something really boring. Like a weekend break to the Scottish Highlands or something.

Or a tweed jacket with leather elbow pads.

...or something which you have no use for whatsoever. e.g. A single car wheel.

skipn_easy

A pony?

Victor

I'd go for the digital camera - no more buying film.

aidan_dunne

A hundred euros worth of socks and underwear! You can never have enough clean socks and underwear!

A hundred euros worth of pizza, curry, chips, Pringles and peanut M&M's.

DVD box sets of series 1 and 2 of "24."

Then, take the phone off the hook, board up all the doors and windows, flush your mobile down the jacks and sit for 48 hours non-stop on the couch watching your "24" DVD's wearing just your new, fresh, shiny underwear, eating your pizza, curry, chips, Pringles and M&M's.

And whatever is left after all that, you can send to me in the post. Cheque or postal order will be fine, thanks!

My God - you should be awarded a medal for the sheer brilliance of that idea.

Someday - someday I will make it to that level of sheer luxury (but watching Sopranos instead of 24)

aidan_dunne

Hey Jeff, you think it's easy being that much of a slob? It's not. Believe me, it actually takes a hell of a lot of hard work to be that much of a slob!

superconor

i would buy an MP3 Player, and then spend the rest on yummy yummy DVD's.
Fawlty Towers, Beverly Hills Cop, Jackie Chan, Family Guy, Simpsons, Friends, Scrubs Box sets.
/creams

Tusky

get a surround sound system ! got one recently and its just great - one of my best buys

Repli

If u don't have a console get an XboX and about 20 games
Or a cool mp3 player with loads of memory (20Gb or so)

rabbitinlights

A fish Tank. (plus some fish)

Not your usual Idea when you have money to blow but its soooo relaxing and cool to watch when your....... ston....... i mean Tired.

Or

A good bed, a really fancy one, cus you spend a ship loads of time in it!!

If thats not your thing then PORN:

www.buydvdporn.com

Mark

A minituare canoe, a purple lava lamp, 356 euro worth of Sour Tongues (nyom), a red carpet tile, a garden gnome, a giant poster of the Berlin Wall in 1978 and a hamster.

Or if you wanted to be testicle tighteningly exciting, put it in a bank! Talk about hardkoer like.

That said you could probaly get in a boyslave fairly cheap from Thailand if you went through the proper channels. Talk to my people, we fix you up, eh?*



*Not that I condone this sort of filth of course

kamobe

yellum

Same situation myself. Was given a cheque for a grand yesterday. Think I'm going to buy a slimline digital camera. You know the creditcard size ones ?

p.pete

Invest in an off-shore bank account?

skipn_easy

What about donating it to a good cause?

That would be 550euro's worth of good feeling that a camera or other material object would never give you.

nadir

You should pay for a hair transplant for AW for his 21st

TacT

Or you could pay for me to go scuba-diving in the Skelligs
For my 25th Birthday present!

Gordon

Save it for when you know what you want.

Lol, funniest suggestion yet.

Im in a slightly similiar situation, I have a fair bit of money in the bank for my age (18) and I dont know whether to blow it on nice stuff I want, or be sensible and save it for my holiday booze money and college booze money...Hmmm

Gordon

You will thank us one day, I promise!

blondie83

I'd have to agree with u Aidan, but make it Sex in the City instead of 24:cool::cool:

aidan_dunne

Oh jaysus blondie83, not "Sex In The City"! Bunch of 'aul ones moaning and bitching about their "issues." Nah, give me "24" any day. Jack Bauer running around blowing stuff up and killing people. What more could you possibly want?

And, even though she must be the dumbest of the dumb blondes in the entire world (no offence! ), you've gotta admit Kim sure is nice to look at. Very easy on the eye. Nyom!

blondie83

Once you get past Carrie ****eing on about whatever comes into her head its really funny! Samantha/Kym is hillarious, she has the exact personality of one of my friends which is scary enough:( The other too are okay as well. I'm not against running around and blowing stuff up either though, that can be highly amusing! maybe there's some happy medium between the two:cool:

Buy something you want, and will have for posterity. I have spent a lot of money drinking in college and find that you'll drink as much as you have, and you'll always get by somehow even if the cash isn't bountiful. So, instead of having nothing to show for it, purchase something of tangible benefit..
