grow your own reefer and avoid the costs. I used to do it back home, had a great setup, really good stuff too, albeit a bit strong. For $50 AUD you get a daycent bit down here.

I think there's a serious mozzarella shortage because of some dodgy Italian buffalo-farming practices. The price has rocketed recently.

Edit: that sounds like an excuse for a lousy pun on "rocket", but it isn't really.

Haven't read the whole thread so apologies if this was mentioned already but:-

Computer Magazines. Was looking at a web-design mag in Easons earlier and it was about 11-12 euro. For just a bog standard magazine - and not a particularly thick one either. That's about twice what I would have expect to pay. Madness.

Yeah a lot of magazines are a rip off, and almost evey second page is an ad for something.

I payed €50 euro for a shi*ty blow job last month, fair enough its illegal morally incorrect etc etc, im not judging myself, but my problem is 4 years ago i illicitated the same sexual act from the same guy but for only €35 euro, now if anything this guys mouth would have depreciated in value, no? Not to mention the various vanaerial diseases he would of contracted periodically over that time and the risk i was taking on myself. Consumers just dont dictate the market anymore and thats the problem

the service industry is fu*ked up
