    Tesco Value - 14.99
    Lidl probably have something similar.

    I do not however endorse the drinking of sh1te whiskey.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,227 ✭✭✭✭Sparky

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,092 ✭✭✭✭Tusky

    I was going into Gamestop a week or so ago to collect my Xbox 360 Premium package with Perfect Dark Zero.

    My parents said if I could hold off until the 25th, they'd pay the 500 odd quid for me. Works for me. Ah so I can't play it for another 2 weeks. But I'm not down 500 as I originally thought.

    Its a win win win situation!

    Sorry Sofa but Sparky's been asking for Elisha since 24 season 1 and this is the first year we've managed to get the chloraform to weight ratio right, so Sparky gets first dibs.

    Of course Sparky did ask for Angelina Jolie aswell for a threesome, but as she's unavailable I'm sure he'll be happy enough if you offered to take her place !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,082 ✭✭✭Tobias Greeshman


    Well I'd love an iPod Nano or one of those new cool Sony Walkman Mp3 players or someone to pay off all my debts... Ah well I suppose a few surprises would do nicely, as they normally are...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Well, what I'd really love to get is this, but something tells me Santa has brought me all that he's going to at this stage.

    Ask me about obscure Belgian beers aswell. :v:

    Hah, the Belgians have a beer for everyday of the year (and more!)

    My Uncle lives in Belgium. I had a chat with him recently, where he told me about some weird tendencies the school he sends his daughter to has. At 1pm, the school gives the kids a little shot glass of beer to drink. Strange strange. He advised the school that when this happens, he wants them to give his daughter a glass of water - the school had no problem with this.

    I found the story fascinating.

    Anyway, Belgian beers are lovely. I usually go to the Belgian beer festival in Cork, which runs for a weekend. My favourite beer by far is Warsteiner (a German beer, as you should now).

    Money money money ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭Seraphina


    ram upgrade for my laptop \o/ a whole gigidey gigidey!
    couldn't really think of anything else tbh. clothes and other random bits will appear as well im sure. actually i've already picked out a lovely purple corset top and a nice fluffy warm blue jumper, but everything else should be a surprise.
    driving lessons perhaps? who knows?
    i like a few surprises on the morning :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Never heard that, but quite fascinating altogether, do you know the reason behind giving the kids little shots of beer?

    I generally find that drinking in Belgium is totally different to drinking here in Ireland though, it's far more chilled, relaxed and they seem to enjoy it a lot more, unlike the hordes of goobers who just go out and drink whatever will get them drunk fast enough. In Belguim you'd see an old granny stopping off for a pint in the pub while she's out for her shopping.

    I generally blame the piss-poor excuse for alcohol we get served here in pubs and clubs, as there's pretty much no way you can actually enjoy a pint of Budweiser, or Heiniken, or suchlike filth, especially not in the same way you can pour yourself a nice Trappist Ale and really enjoy everything it has to offer.

    my 21st is just after the new year, so its mostly gonna be money, because:

    1. i hate surprises
    and
    2. i seriously cant think of anything i really want

    im gonna buy some dvd's(futurama, house m.d., dead like me, farscape, carnivale, wonderfalls)
    concert tickets(obituary, cryptopsy, hypocrisy, dismember etc...)
    and im currently saving up for a laptop.

    planning to head to Wacken this year too!(Emperor and Celtic frost!!! wheee)

    Yeah, hope to head there myself aswell, Emperor are to music what Midleton is to alcohol. One to miss at my infinite regret, I say.

    I'm getting a baby.

    Alas, I have to give birth to it, rather than buy it off eBay :(

    He just said they thought it was good for them.

    It's totally different. If you look in some cafes etc in the mornings, alot of people have a glass of beer with their breakfast, before they begin their day.
    And drink driving? They all do it over there, but you see, they only have two or three drinks and that's them happy enough. They don't generally drink it to get sloshed. Their drinking culture is totally different to here.

    Definately, the quality of beers here is terrible. Absolutely diabolical. The Fansiscan Well in Cork is an exception though.
