So, my only options are to either drive to Letterkenny or Longford tomorrow afternoon to get to Argos (who sell a huge variety of them) which is both expensive (petrol wise) & annoying (time / hassle wise). I could always shave the beard off entirely, but I've invested 2 months into cultivating it.

starbelgrade wrote: » Yep - and we're currently organising a "Yes to Argos" gig. Come to think of it, if we lived in a proper democracy, there'd be a referendum in Sligo over the Argos issue. But then again, we the people, are far to dumb to understand the intricacies of the issue & would just vote "No" because we don't understand what the hell's going on. Best to leave the decision making to the likes of politicians as they're so much more intelligent & better educated than ourselves. In fact, if we'd any sense, we'd give up the constitution altogether.

(for the cheap sweets and music) Its a symbol alright but not a symbol of the kind of sligo I would have been dreaming bout.
