    All the cool kids are mining for their own coal now.

    Christ no, 40kg of coal is around €15, briquettes should be around a fiver, and you'd get logs (depending on size) for anywhere from 4-6 quid.

    Wait, you can't just download the coal from Facebook?

    What's the point then?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 990 ✭✭✭Ted111


    Is the coal new or used?

    €15 for 40kg coal? It must be house coal.

    I only use organic coal handpicked by West Virginian hillbillies.

    We're fine for coal, thanks.

    Why not save the cash you'd normally spend on coal by stealing it from someone else?

    Simply destroy the evidence by burning it-the perfect crime.

    Tried that sh1te.No heat and found a load of rocks in the fire next morning.
    For the extra 3 euro it's worth getting the premium Polish.

    How is it a good deal when it's more expensive?! Does not compute.
    Fly around in the car and fill up on a few bags of coal, logs and briquettes (if you need them), and you'll save yourself a good few quid.

    Careful, the coal may be hot.

    I heat my whole house for the year for €300 and maybe 150 hours of refreshingly vigorous work.

    Coal is for wimps.

    This is true for things other than coal, too.

    Ballyshannon, Donegal. You'd get it for that around Leitrim too.
