Oh I believe you all right.

It's just that coming on boards to highlight the fact leads me to certain conclusions, none of them complimentary.


Sorry 'bout that, but that's the way she crumbles.

Jealousy is alive and well in AH.

No not jealousy, just a bit of common sense needed in these situations.

How do you think people who recently lost their jobs feel if they read this??

Ok it's no major deal, but ffs have a bit of cop on here.

Jealous?

I was in Berlin about three weeks ago, you can ride a prostitute in the bushes (park area) for €50. So €10,000, that's like 200 rides in the bushes, how many people besides sheep shaggers can claim that???;)

Buy a horse

sure everyone's doing it, think of the savings! You'll never need a car/lawnmower/fertiliser again!

But I lost my job recently, so I know exactly how it feels. Pretty ****ty to be perfectly honest. I also know how it feels to have no money having been a totally broke student for a number of years, and recently being unable to spend what I had, due to fear of the future. Its also pretty ****ty. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the size of my lump sum, but that was to give an idea of what people could suggest I do. Insensitive maybe, but its nothing new that some people in this country have spare money to hand, if people are offended by it I apologise. It would have been worse if I had said "I have a lot of money, and need ideas on how to spend it". Maybe I shouldn't have opened the thread at all.

I thought by showing the fact that there is work out there even in construction should give people hope. Its not all doom and gloom.

Why don't you go here? It's Chernobyl, you don't need to be a soldier and it's a really interesting place to visit.

Keep the money safe.
Chances are you will be out of a job again at 1 point and then use this money to travel for a longer period.
1 month just doesnt sound long enough to me to spend the 10k.
Not that you wouldnt be able to spend 10k in a month but it is enough to travel around in Asia or South America for months. Sounds nicer to me than a month.

Use some of it to hire someone who has what is called common sense.

You need to do this because anyone who comes on to boards with that kind of cock and bull bull**** needs it badly.

Use the other 8k to buy some cop on.

So any ideas on how I can lighten my pockets in the intervening period and have as much fun as possible. 21 male and single if that helps with your ideas.

Go onto www.alibaba.com and buy a wind turbine direct from China (easy to do).... a good one will set you back $700. Have it installed at your folk's place a a present so they can avail of free electricty... or at least half their esb bill.

Then, order a bio diesel generator (€1200)... this converts waste vegetable oil into diesel you can run your car on.

These two purchases alone will make you thousands in saved money

Looks like a case of easy come easy go. Next year you will be posting what can be done to get you out of debt.

Go on a 2000euro holiday and save the rest.

Dave!

My uncle works in the Global Financial Division of HSIT, and he gave me a tip-off about a stock that's about to skyrocket. It's kinda sekret stuff, but if you send me the 10k I will pass it straight on to my uncle and you'll be set for life.

Just PM me your bank details and I'll sort out the rest

he doesn't want to be doing that, we are a high cost economy and its too costly to export your female friend to the far east. he should get a female friend* in the far east for any bit of rendering.

Well seeng as its your salary, I would cover all my monthly expenses, put some savings aside and budget your cash flow for the following month. If after that you have some spare money, I suggest you buy your misses a nice present. Perhaps take her for a weekend away if you both have the spare time, she would probably like that.

if the money is something you see as something to be gotten rid of, why don't you give it to a charity that helps kids with cancer live out their days in as pain free and dignified manner as possible?


lol, only kidding, coke and hookers man. 100%

€10,000 worth of them will only cost €10,000. Your buying the amount which is worth €10,000. Not buying 10,000 tickets.
