    ah some sort of fcuknut faux diamond encrusted handbag by some geebag designer made out of recycled horsedung with a price tag of 40k stored in a glass display case in pretentious whoreville

    (ffs...made me want to vomit that someone would probably shell it out.....especially given it probably would not have much of a resale value compared to say a proper piece of art, classic car etc...)

    depends on how long the blast is

    €3 to feel euphoric sounds like a bargain to me.........................(as long as you don't spend so long your lungs forget how to extract it from the air)

    I paid €8 to feel mildly bored @ captain america recently

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth

    you are gravely mistaken if you think a " your biggest waste of money " wouldn't descend into a boring moan on social welfare + banks

    eg: Q: whats your biggest waste of money

    sample answer: paying my fcukin taxes for them to be wasted on layabouts etc

    reply: fcuk u ...they are not all layabouts...let the flame war commence!
