Typical AH responses


And no i am not a boy... I am female!

I do like toys though(And no not your 'toy'!)

Holmer

It's okay, nothing special.I went a couple of years back. Nothing like the magical hi-tech utopia they always promise on the radio ads. It's actually quite small. They had a cool car exhibition though, and a few scantily clad wimmins doing promotions:D. But it's underwhelming really, you'll see everything in about 90 minutes, unless they've really improved it in the last couple of years.

My name is URL

I bet there'll be a 1-3 ratio of guys wearing 'witty' t-shirts there

It's a load of pony and I wouldn't go again if someone paid me.

Toys for Big Boys is the biggest load of Shoite I have ever seen in my life.

Haha someone was happy to ditch their tickets on to you

I might be exhibiting at it. What's best is we're not trying to flog you anything, just provide ye with information about powerboating in Ireland. Ye can have a look at the boats we use etc. and get info on how to get involved (without even having to buy your own boat)

Fago!

So you wouldn't go if you were paid 8 grand?

You lying TART.

yea yea, that's how it starts, then after a look you'll offer us a great deal on a boat. then when we take the deal, sure we might aswell have somewhere nice to sail it. how about a timeshare in monaco? and for that price sure we might aswell buy our own place...


i'll have six please.

It's incredibly tatty...

The year I went to it even the Scientologists had a stand with clueless slack jawed goons lining up to get their theaton levels measured outside it.

stovelid

I am prejudiced about the typical male attendee because I used to work with a couple of guys that religiously went to the thing.

Going by that yardstick, the only wish I would have re: the event is that the place might hopefully burn down when they're all in there.

thee glitz

I went a couple of years ago (free tickets). It was grand for a look around
for 1-2 hours. There was a fashion show and that was quite good (no, really).
That and a few girls hanging out of cars. There was the wimmins area for their
treatments... It was worth seeing once, I may go again when I've amassed a
large bag of cash.

How did you win tickets?

Danbo!

I met Keith duffy there a few years back. That is all.

mickdw

Was there last year. total crap.
NUmerous stands selling sh1t remote control cars and cheap useless remote control helis etc.
Lots of those stands doing demos with 'magic drill bits' etc
There was a RR phantom & a ferrari which was worth look.
Basically though it was loads of stands selling tacky sh1t.
As for the famous bachelor pad, I was expecting a bit of effort. It had a sofa with holes for drinks, a big telly and F all else

I went to the bike show. Now Ive no more than a passing interest in bikes but it was miles ahead of this crap. I will go to that again but not this.

Is the entire tragedy of Modern Ireland writ large. The reduction of Irish manhood into passive bovine consumers, overweight, bald and pathetically jerking off to the Argos catalogue in the hope that some new, bright, shiny object created by slaves in a Chinese factory will fill the awful emptiness in his soul left by his crap job, overpriced suffocating house, and dumb pink-clad wife, who has little more substance to her soul than a means-tested focus-group conceived shell of a person , created in the image of whatever advertising agencies think she ought to be: A hollow bag of unfillable appetites.

Or something.

Here's to hoping.

I'd love to go for the cars. Went to Top Gear last year (pile of ****) but the car exhibition was awesome!

Oh the irony in your username is epic

ScumLord

It's like every other show in Ireland, the same set up as they'd have for the ideal homes just different types of businesses in the stands. It's no better than the ploughing championships and they take place in a field.

Allot of the businesses there are out to fleece anyone who was foolish enough to walk through the door. There is some good stuff there and if you live close by it might be worth it but definitely not worth spending time driving to.

paconnors

was there once total shoite

Jay D

No it's ****. You go there to be pitched to buy something, think differently and you're an idiot. I worked on various exhibitions there, that's all it is.

End of thread...

dubtom

Went last year, was ok,I'd stay away from the fast food though,it was fast,in one hole and out the other.

Dyr

Our boss dragged us along the first year it was on, we were back out within the hour, wound up antagonising the pushy c**ts trying to flog their tack off on us.."how much is dem?".. "how much is dem?".."dats fierce steep" .."how much is dem?" etc

00112984

It's crap. Wild horses wouldn't get me back.

Kiera

Is there not semi naked hot chicks in there?

brendansmith

Nah just an assortment of anal dildoes designed for fat men.

congo_90

went few times. avoid the over priced food.. unless you need to clear your bowels and everything else inside ya.
some remote helis, a few cars some tramps in way too much makeup to be human and a lotta crap like speed camera detectors with "all the uk camera locations" :rolleyes:

If i remember correctly theres a paint stand too.

Went last year. Feck all to see to be honest. Only two things I was bothered with was a brilliant home cinema setup with a HD projector and some of the nice cars that were there (R8 to be exact). Otherwise its people selling rubbish and cheap crap you would prob get for half the price on moore street.

Can I have some tickets please, I need to light the fire in my stove, its cccccccccold.:p

AnonoBoy

Surely if you are a chick and are into guys that are complete personality-less ar*sewipes then this would be the place to go, no?

NothingMan

Probably worth a look. I happened to be there when some guy was driving around on a one wheeled motorbike doin some pretty cool tricks. But that was a fluke, think he only done 2 shows a day.

I definitely don't think it's worth paying into though. Would you pay 15 squids into a market just because you may or may not see a nike show? No.

But if you win tickets on here then it'd be a nice way to kill a few hours.

swingking

anyone been to it today and what was the verdict?

dotsman

Don't know why anyone would ever pay to go. Have gone twice (second time was not by choice!), and both times tickets were off-loaded onto me. If your idea of a good time is gangs of young knacks, scientologists, little girls dipped in a browney-orange paint and neon clothes, and looking at some overpriced tack, then you might enjoy it.

If, however, you have any one of the following: (class/intelligence/taste/sense/life/maturity/medium-to-large penis), then it's not for you.
