    2005, Thats a nice ad on the radio. The one with the train set for Barry's Tea. :D

    2006, I heard that nice ad for Barry's Tea on again. Remember, the one with the train set. :)

    2007, I didn't think Barry's Tea would use the train set ad 3 years running. :rolleyes:

    2008, I know we're in a recession now but you'd think Barry's Tea would fork out for a new ad at this stage. :(

    2009, Oh FFS. :mad:

    2010, I'd love to get that friggin train set and wrap it round Barry's head. :mad:

    2011, If I hear that ad this Christmas, I'm gonna boycott Barry's Tea. :mad:

    2012, If I hear that ad once more I'm gonna smash the first train set I see into smithereens. :mad::mad:

    2013, The only good reason for the ESB going on strike would be to spare us from that poxy fucking advert on the radio. :mad::mad::mad:

    2002 - Renting is dead money, buy a shoebox in the middle of nowhere. You have to get onto the ladder.

    2007 - This commute is getting awfully annoying.

    2011 - This renting lark looks a bit better than dead money now.
