  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 380 ✭✭Poutbutton


    Flights to Perth via Malaysia asap no questions asked. Why only a thousand? Too little to play with! Now if you had said €4000 I'd give you an itinerary to die for! I will take a grand regardless though...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,898 ✭✭✭✭seanybiker


    another motorbike or maybe just streetfigther the one I already have


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,692 ✭✭✭✭OPENROAD


    Invest it in Burberry shares.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,674 ✭✭✭Dangerous Man


    Well - with the extra four grand I'd easily afford my old guitar and a hell of a lot besides. I'd probably use the extra to put towards renting / furnishing an apartment. Or health insurance. Am I still a Celtic Tiger Scum?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 101 ✭✭IQDENIED


    put it all on 32 red..

    5000x36= ****ing sweet amt of cash * coke and hookers for all who posted in this thread! :D

    You could spend five grand in the blink of an eye in there.

    Gold.
    Was listening to an economics discussion on BBC Radio 4 this morning and the general consensus is that one of the worst things you can do, is invest in gold at the current prices.
    They all agreed that the bubble on that is heading towards bursting at some point.
    Don't say you weren't warned! :o
