    I usually only lurk on boards, but I registered to ask this one simple question.

    Im not usually a gambler, but at just after 6 o clock this morning I won 1,500euro on an absolutely $hite hand in a game of poker :D:D:D:D:D

    So what do I buy. Its the weekend, its really sunny outside, I dont have kids, mortage or car to worry about... no bills. I might take my father to Dublin tomorrow for a day out :) Any other ideas for me boardsies?

    Buy some kids, take out a mortgage or a car.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    A new TV/ laptop?

    Coke and hookers though in all seriousness.

    Use it to pay off a relatively meaningless portion of your no-doubt gargantuan gambling debts.

    If you won that much on one hand, think about how much you'd win on €1,500 worth of hands. You practically can't lose.

    Give a little to charity.

    Blow the rest. You'd get a nice weekend a way somewhere with that.

    Come to Amsterdam. I'll help you spend it.

    ...and then do the dash and keep your 1500.

    The odds of them catching you while surrounded by 20 homeless people are slim.

    You could be a good Samaritan and pay my course fees? Due next week and I don't have a cent!

    While you're here maybe buy him a calendar so he doesn't think it's December 8th.

    Thanks for the advice. Ive decided to visit Dublin. Can anyone tell me is it worth going to Dublin city on a Sunday... Will anywhere be open? I might have a wee look at this book of kells Ive heard so much about. But seriously, is it worth going on a Sunday or should I just wait till the following week? :):D

    Personally, I'd wait for the week just to let the anticipation build.

    Be careful in Dublin, there's lots of cars!! You may not be used to such a metropolis!

    lovely idea.:)


    OP,
    -you could buy a plane ticket as has already been said, get some sun or whatever you're into.

    -buy a pressie for someone special.

    -buy a piece of jewellery, a ring or watch.

    -go to a mad fancy restaurant that you've never been to and don't worry about the bill.

    -give 500 of your winnings to charity and give no thought to how you spend the rest.

    Do your patriotic duty, give your winnings to help pay off the national debt!

    Going to Dublin I hear, go along the boardwalk and meet nice friendly people who will advise you on what to do with your €1,500 ;):D
