Those €20 scratch cards - are they actual scratch cards or are they those lotto tickets that they sell a couple of times per year (they only sell something like 300,000 tickets so you have a much better chance of winning, hence the higher cost of the lotto ticket)?

yeah thats what i meant......

only 300,000 sold so 300,000 x 20 = 6 million and the max prize is how much?????

cheap *cough cough*

it might be balooney the specific day but its nice every once and a while i supose....


imagine how much money hes given you over the years..... a fiver here 2 euro there when you were a kid. and paying for everything you owned up till 10 - 15 depending how lazy you were.

im still young so..... might as well ...he could be dead in the morning....and more than likley he had given me the money a few months previous

I'm not usually cheap, I throw him a couple o'hundred euros every few months, but can't at the min, funds are low and might be losing my jerwb next month

My Dad is total legend. The guy rocks my world. I never have to call any DIY types in, and he fixes my car if it gives me any crap. Hes been sketching out little designs for a gazebo type thing for my back garden. Daddies and their daughters eh? :pac:

I've gotten him a card, and I'm heading off to his place in the morning. Gonna make him some breakfast and give him the day off tomorrow A man of few words, but the best Dads usually are.. I don't believe in rushing off to the nearest shop to buy some pre-produced shyte marketed for the day. The personal touch is best, and more appreciated in my experience

Your Da sounds cool. Agree on the man of few words thing. Mines always had the "if you've nothing good to say, don't say it" philosophy too. Unfortunately he's a man of few words for a different reason now!

I think I understand what you mean there..

I suppose my own gift is commercialised but it describes me very well too! When it comes to DIY stuff I'm a hazard!

I didn't mean for it to sound like that tbh.. I just hate how companies make money from us all in this way. But sometimes, they can touch a point thats relevant to your relationship with your Dad / Mother / Aunt etc.

If truth be told, Mum complains a little about him. She thinks he gets 'mad ideas' all of a sudden with what to do in the house or garden. I can never agree with her, and in a respectful way (of course) tell her to stfu. Actually no, thats not true, I do tell her to stfu.. .. Hes a creative guy, and a legend to have drinks with (Mums a bit of a non drinker sort)... my Fathers daughter alright :pac:

Daddies rock!

Ach I, know what you mean.

Pity the poor b*stard who you introduce to him though, "Dad, this is my bf"!

As a 29 yr old, I havent given him too much heart ache The key point there is to keep them apart as long as possible, until both sides have a good idea what makes the other tick. Two intidmidated men is not an easy thing for wimminz to put right
