    There's no justice in this forum. Have you tried Motors?

    What's a summat? Or is summat a person? An immigrant perhaps?

    What kind of ticket did you get? Was it a ticket for a raffle? Or a show?

    A ticket to the cinema would be really nice.

    It would. I like popcorn.

    Though I prefer nachos with cheese sauce.

    Well if they are giving you a free cinema ticket, I presume they would pay for the food too.

    That would cover a whole weekend in the Stephen's Green car park. Very nice of them. Does it include valet?

    You do realise you couldve gotten a 24 pack bottles of Budweiser from obriens, a doner kebab meal from abrekebabra and a bit of change for the bus home with that 40 euro.
