What's the best 20 Euro you ever spent?

joeKel73 · 17-09-2018 2:14pm

A few years ago Citylink and Go Bus were at war in Galway and Citylink were offering a few €1 bus fares on each bus. At the same time Ryanair were doing a €2 seat sale.

Got an early morning bus from Galway to Shannon airport for €1.
Flight from Shannon to London for €2. Arrived around 8.30am.
Spend the day in London, checking out mostly free museums and sights. Got an all-you-can-eat Chinese in Chinatown for £5.
Flight back that night (around 9pm) for €2.
Bus back up to Galway for €1.

All for around €11.50 each. Can't remember what the airport-city bus cost but might have been covered by the €8.50 change. :P

Got a link to the book?

Argh you got me on the hop there and now I have blanked on which book it is - as I have read so many. But I think it was NLP & Magic, other secrets by Mathieu Bich. But I probably draw on others books like Reality Is Plastic: The Art of Impromptu Hypnosis by Anthony Jacquin.

Thanks!

This might sound odd but some guy with amazing patter just got me to buy it for you. So, just PM your address so I can send it and maybe I can still get to my wife and kids in time.

Was only €20 in Superquinn.

The boom times are back again folks!

Best 20 quid I spent was probably the 2003 gold Celtic shirt I got on sale when I was a kid, not so much of Celtic fan these days but it's still a gorgeous kit and still have it.

Can you use them to watch video on an Android device without an audio/video lag?

Never knew how much wired earphones annoyed me until I got these.

€18 for a ticket to see The Dickies playing in the Thomas House last July .... waited a lifetime to see them live and then they pop up in a pub on Thomas St. Amazing , sweaty, fun filled night of po-going :cool:

Probably went I got lost in Slovakia drunk, phone dead, only brought out cash with me for beer. No idea where I was or my friends, no taxis around anywhere at 3am.

After four hours of wandering around I finally made it home and went to a bar near where I was staying and had 7 or 8 pints. Best 20 quid I ever spent

We're counting on ye and Dundalk to get to the cup final again cause 4th will get Waterford into Europe next year

Don't mess up in the semi final, tough draw for ye though

I definitely won't be spending €20 on a bet that City will reach the final again this year

Not the only one, debatable whether I get another season ticket,,the agony/ecstacy of bring a CCFC supporter

Was so raging that I only found out about this gig after it happened. Devastated.

A train from Aachen to Frankfurt. Got talking to a beautiful blonde who really liked me. Some few days in Frankfurt.

A pair of boots in Stradbally at a market during the week on Thursday after finishing working my four shifts for advanced volunteering at Electric Picnic, my old boots disintegrating and spotting a great pair of new walking boots for twenty Euro. Perfect for the next three days of lots of walking through the festival site.
