    Go fishing.

    Feed some ducks. (You might have to steal other people's bread)

    Read a book. (Or two!)

    Read a book about feeding ducks.

    Watch national geographic, the history channel and discovery. In 3 weeks, you can tell us all about Lions, Hitler and Volcanos.

    Take the €20 out of the tank before its ruined and spend it on some beer. Whats it doing in there in the first place. No wonder your broke.

    The library is a great way to spend a day. Or the court house on a tuesday or thursday lol.

    Don't mean to sound harsh, but if you gave up smoking and went for a walk, you'd save loads and you won't be so overweight and unfit.....:P

    1) Go fishing.

    Its glorified sitting, which should suit you.

    Its free (make your own rod).

    You save money on food.

    or 2)

    Have an affair, but tell your wife you went fishing.

    Did you ever go there? What was it like?

    Was it like Matlock, or just boring?

    Walking ..... sorry nearly loss weight laughing so much.
    An Affair ... would rather face seanybiker's hard mate then cross the wife
    Library..... three weeks is long enough without making it seem longer.

    Fishing... not bad

    Thanks again lads keep them coming.

    It was one of the most exciting things I've ever done...... lol
    and thats the Library...

    Been to the court house a few times. Its like a mix between father ted and Judge Judy, but without the telly.

    Find some unused pallets, an old tarpaulin or large sheet of plastic a few bungee chords and build yourself a camp down the back garden.... think up a password and dont tell it to the wife n kids.... no password no entry to the camp :D:D

    seriously though.....go walking... take it at your leisure... drive somewhere in the city you've never been... and take a stroll, take advantage of the extra hour of brightness you'l gain tomorrow.

    The Waterford today ran a column everyweek on those roundy blue information signs you see on some buildings... so and so lived here ....or was born here etc etc.... I'd like to go visit all of them...would be interesting

    best things in life are free... enjoy em

    There's plenty to do, but I suppose a lot of it is weather dependant.

    Normally, I would encourage you to explore wonderful places like Stradbally, the Comeraghs, etc - but as walking is ruled out, the best I could suggest for the next three weeks would be porn.

    Collect your old lego bricks and go out and repair some walls.
    Leave a hat beside your work and see if you make some money.

    Help little old ladies across the street even if they don't want to go across the street, you will at least get a laugh.

    Play Thunder and Lightning in your street when it gets dark. Show you kids how to play proper old school games before there was xboxes and playstations. I got caught once because I hid behind the neighbours car. It didn't take him long to find me.

    Go up to a mime and pretend to take money out of your pocket and place it in his hat.That's pisses them off big time.
