    Hey all,

    O.k. so I'm leaving my old apartment in Galway and i have roughly 500 plastic bottles in my house left over from the whole water scare.

    My Question is, does anyone have any suggestions as to what i could do with them all??

    Please bear in mind that i will recycle them afterwards but i just wanna do something fun first!

    SO, Go crazy!

    Cheers.

    Fill them with tap water and hurl them at passing cars, bicycles and enemies.

    1: Put all the tops on the bottles and lay them out in a line.
    2: Tape all the bottles together
    3: Wrap the bottles all around your body to form huge plastic cushion
    4: Find big hill
    5: ????????
    6: PROFIT

    Ok!!! you allowed about 500 waterbottles to accumulate in your apartment and didn't think about disposal until you were leaving.

    :eek: Right Okeydoke... you sound like one fun guy sure enough.

    I'll think about it;)

    Building a raft is the only normal thing you can do.

    Bonus points if you can get all the way to England.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,699 ✭✭✭ronaneire


    Bring them back to the shop and say you dont need them anymore


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    Bottle rockets. Many bottle rockets.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 168 ✭✭corkhero

    Get a cheap flight to Germany and return all the plastic bottles to a shop and collect the deposit/pfand.

    That's 25 quid!
    Less the cost of the flight

    Hmmm a tad harsh...:p

    I dunno they just kinda kept piling up and up, i didn't notice until they got in the way of my daily life. i noticed it was finally time to do something when small swarms of children started following me around calling me 'the bottle man . . . .(tear)' children can be so cruel...

    I am quite drawn to the idea of filling them with water and throwing them at cars....

    Thanks for the answers!

    I am sure that there are some homeless fish that would appreciate a new gaff.

    Is the water safe now? If not, bring them somewhere else, fill them, and sell them in Galway :P

    WTF, you're gonna throw 1/2 (min) kilo bottles of water at cars:confused::mad:

    Why not just throw bricks, you'd damage just as many:rolleyes:




    Bring 1 a day into work and strategically place it around the office. See how many you can get before the cleaners decide to remove them.

    Go back in time.

    Buy one waterbottle.

    And recycle that bottle!!

    You probably wasted yourself the guts of €500.

    But he couldnt recycle the water bottle because the problem was the tap water so he had to buy bottled water. Were you even paying attention? Next time you sit up the front where I can keep an eye on you :mad:
