    Quoted the wrong quote! Twas meant to be Beautiation! "How can someone with such nice shoes be so stupid?" [I'm not very good at doing this quote thingys']

    I just almost wet myself!!!!!!!!!!!

    Seriously though, fair enough perhaps able to tell the difference between Penney's €15 sandals and whatever names you gave there. [I wouldn't know, I don't buy fancy clothes]

    Actually yer wan on Fair City is wearing a top I have. Dunnes. Even their wages doesn't pay for expensive clothes. Oi Laura, I hope you're nabbing yourself a multi millionaire or the likes? Personally I'd rather have the 30 pairs of shoes I have than paying almost 2 months rent on a pair of shoes that I'd probably break my ankles anyway! :)

    Eh where do you think the water supply we drink comes from?? Is there some magical little water elf that delivers it to these bottling factories and they bottle it and sell it on??
    [/QUOTE]

    I only drink bottled water, french if possible and its usually volcanic water which is much healthier for you. The irish sea is the most radioactive sea in the world fact fans and there is no way i would drink that water. I'd rather pay my 2 euro thank you very much

    Cars, you pay double/triple the price of a car in Ireland than you do in the "Americas". I'm awaiting delivery of a new Ford Edge, total price €20k.

    Good old AH, guaranteed to bring out every ****ing begrudger.

    Heaven forbid she buys 500e shoes.

    What about the guy who spends 500e on a computer part? or some kit for his car?

    ffs. Ignore them Laura, they're getting off to your replies.

    /goes back to his 20c litre of bottled water.

    On topic:

    Chocolate bars should not cost 80c - €1. Arse to that.
    Even bags of crisps, what a jip.

    Or even worse ... when that pair of shoes goes out of fashion.

    Maybe she could donate them to some starving third world girl who might find use for them ? Because when they're out of fashion they're no good any more right ?

    When the starving girl stands in them they'll totally improve her posture and she'll really loose that starving pot belly look.
