    Just curious to know how long it would take the nation to use up 440m worth of coke, would it last a weekend if we all had a little dibble?

    How much is a line? €10? So with 4 million of us, we'd get 11 lines each. What would that be? A heavy day? A full weekend?

    It is not 440 million worth of coke, this figure has been blown away out of preportion by the authorities, In reality it is probably less than 40 million worth. Just as 5000 pills can be bought for about 5k cash yet when the cops get their hands on them they suddenly become e50,000 worth.

    Anyone buying 5000 pills is buying them to sell on. They'd easily be marked up to €10 a pop. Therefore their "street value" is €50,000.

    According to Run to da Hills it's only €40m worth so you can divide your 11 lines by 10, that gives us 1 fat line each.....
    Looks like we wouldn't even make it to the pub before it's all gone....

    Thats assuming everyone was going to take a line.

    Alot of people wouldn't touch the stuff due to its sudden death features so you would have a small numebr of people getting hundreds of lines instead!

    I believe 8 to 10 k is the rate for 5000 pills if they have to be "fronted". Most dealers operate this way.

    Thats a very good price for just 1000 and I would presume that this would be a cash up front deal only.

    The Mods would likely go through that in a weekend, depending on the number of hookers involved.

    You could double that with the amount of cr*p that would be added to the mixture.

    Wooden overcoat....sounds like a good invention. 100% Windproof, cheap to make, resistant to light weaponry, and a bouyancy aid to boot.
