Your biggest waste of money

policarp

2000 Euro on Eircom shares.
Should've offloaded them after a few weeks. . .

Luap

Soccer player stickers when I was younger. Spent a load trying to get the last one to fill the book.

Looking back now what a load of bollix!

Before starting college ??? New. A4 ?

There's a 1% problem right there

I had been working 45+ hours a week for three years by the time I ordered the car and never spent much money on drinks and nights out as my dad suffered from cancer and I was at home to look after him when I was not at work. As I was living at home and had no car throughout this period so I had a lot of time to save up for it.

+ it wasn't brand new, but an annual car with 1500km mileage.

Dangerous Man

I bought an airline. Then I sold it off in small pieces to the highest bidders and made a lot of money in the process. The only problem was that I kind of manipulated the son of the head of the union at the time to grease the wheels, so to speak. In any case, I promised the son, and the union leader that the sale would be a good thing for them.

When the son discovered that my motives were selfish, and that he was implicated in some less than moral dealings, he hatched a plan to have revenge, which he managed to achieve.

I wish I never bought that airline but I eventually got back into business in 2011 but I don't really know what happened there as I haven't seen the film yet.

The son shows up at a bar with a beautiful woman and asks you if blue horseshoe still loves anacott steel. Then Shia La Beouf says "no no no" alot.

Trust me, you didn't miss much.

Don't remind me of Match Attax - my son had me badgered for months buying these bl**dy stickers, eventually I found the website where I could order individual stickers just to finish off his album. The novelty wore off very quickly!

My biggest waste of money was nearly €300 on MBT trainers. They were a gimmick, supposed to build up your leg muscles and help you lose weight with little effort. They were like heavy blocks on my feet, I could barely walk in them never mind run. They were banned in my workplace because workers fell over wearing them. I have since started more serious running, using Asics at a fraction of the price of MBTs!

These are the worst looking shoes I have ever seen, I wouldn't even spend €3 on them let alone €300...

Well, I got elected to run a country in 1997 after being the finance minister before that.. I managed to turn one of the richest countries in Europe if not the world into one of the poorest. Love Bertie xxx
