    As for the lad above who said someone paid €45 for a parking space, this bint paid €45k :D

    Oh no you didn't!

    I bet Alison's daddy wakes up in a cold sweat every morning thinking about the mortgage he's been left paying on that shoebox.

    Bank bailout 2008 - "Mr Lenihan said the guarantee was "the cheapest bailout" compared with bank rescues in other countries, including the UK and the US, where "billions and billions of taxpayers' money are being poured into financial institutions."

    oxygen bars (only ever saw it on holidays) a dude charging like 3 euro to give you a blast of oxygen.....

    :confused:

    depends on how long the blast is

    €3 to feel euphoric sounds like a bargain to me.........................(as long as you don't spend so long your lungs forget how to extract it from the air)

    I paid €8 to feel mildly bored @ captain america recently

    Thread would be way more interesting if it would be " your biggest waste of money ".

    As now it's just usual, now boring moan on social warfare and , wait for it, banks!

    The money spent so far ill-advisedly on the American drug wars!

    Not to mention the cost of life, something mad like 30,000 people a year lately.

    you are gravely mistaken if you think a " your biggest waste of money " wouldn't descend into a boring moan on social welfare + banks

    eg: Q: whats your biggest waste of money

    sample answer: paying my fcukin taxes for them to be wasted on layabouts etc

    reply: fcuk u ...they are not all layabouts...let the flame war commence!

    CIE.

    The abandonment of a perfect good national fleet of MK3 coaches (Orange carriages that you see lying up all over the country) and the subsequent replacement with inferior MK4's and 22,000 DMU sets.

    @ sake lads!
    Why don't we drastically reduce size by instigated ranger wing style training and washout rates that reflect this.Because why not have 500/600+ world class soldiers who are fully mechanised more transport helo's etc.
