    Tennis racket.

    I started tennis with high hopes a few years ago and after a good few weeks at it, I was still chopping the ball not only out of the court but out of the fecking park where I "practicing" it.

    €1,555,000 worth of Anglo-Irish bank (assuming the €7 billion thrown into that cesspit is divided equally between the 4.5 million living on this island).

    Unfortunately didn't have a say in it, though.
