    Cinemas.. astronomical waste of money to, stand in a queue while my cornetto melts, eat popcorn thats pointless without butter, spend god knows how much on a bottle of water when the lidl does them for 49 cent, and finally, get your chair kicked continuously by lil idiots... The film was good-just not THAT good :rolleyes:
    Can people not go to the cinema without buying all that ****e? The best film I ever watched in the cinema (No Country For Old Men) I didn't have a drink or bite to eat throughout as it was so gripping.

    I never go to the cinema without reading at least four or five reviews beforehand.

    In conclusion, the cinema is a waste of money.

    Weddings tbh.

    Couldn't agree more. One of my sisters had her wedding a week ago, another one of my sisters is getting married in a few months time. They've spent a rediculous amount of money on them. If I get married it's gonna be like a midget who uses the same god damned move in fighting games, small and cheap.

    Clothes.

    Like expensive clothes, makes no sense to me how people can spend €100+ on a single piece of clothing.

    In total agreement with the wedding thing. Also I feel kids birthday parties are getting out of hand although the recession should clear that up. Anyone who spends €30 a head on a child's birthday party needs their head examined imho.

    First communion and confirmation - a lot of money is wasted on these.

    A couple of boxes of rice crispies and loads of chocolate so you can make a giant rice crispie bun cake. What more could any child want? That's what I had for one of my birthday parties as a child and it was fúcking brilliant.

    Train tickets. Bus is cheaper, handier and gets me there faster.

    Also shots in a bar/nightclub. 5.67 for Sambuca... F*ck off. When I used to buy them I consoled myself by bringing home the shot glasses.

    Those were the days. A block of HB icecream with a flake crumbled over it and a few candles. But you're right, rice krispie buns ftw.

    no because we will be heading there sometime

    I doubt anyone complains about weather and communications satellites though

    both mars and venus provide models of the greenhouse effect

    if we deflect just one asteroid it would be worth it


    ISS / Space Shuttle is a complete and utter waste of money though

    ISS, I agree, is a complete waste of money. God, what results have come out of it yet?

    The Space Shuttle, however, is a great invention. Sure just look at the last Hubble mission. All these ISS services are just costly, pointless exercises.

    Why the **** are we exploring our own orbit anyway? Start working on sending someone onto Mars and not a space station that's already been done my the Russians.

    Face it America, Russia beat you to it.
    Face it.
    FACE IT DAMN YA
