    What are your interests?

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    What are your interests?

    I'm studying architecture so that would be big interest. Music, gym, xbox and the walking dead would be my other interests.

    Was going to suggest a cat but that might not be your bag. Pre-owned Xbox One?

    Limited edition vinyl would be my call. Get a collectors piece of an album you really love.

    Coke and hookers ;)








    Why not some personal training sessions. You could get 6 weeks of 2 per week. Push yourself that little bit more and maybe break the plateau?

    If you're into music and listen to it mostly on the go, defo get a decent pair of headphones unless you already have some. You'd pick up a pair of AKG K451 (i have them, top drawer stuff) for about 70 quid and still have money left over for a nespresso or a watch, e.g. a G Shock. Alternatively, get a decent Bluetooth speaker....check out richersounds or somewhere like that which will only stock quality stuff......where sound is concerned, from personal experience you pay for what you get so consider pumping money into something decent....

    Tablet?
    Nice watch?
    Good pair of headphones?
    Fitbit?
    Cufflinks?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 511 ✭✭✭TheBiz


    Why not keep it until something you want pops up?

    a good leatherman or similar. I bought myself a good one probably 8 years ago now and to this day it still comes everywhere with me.

    Wouldn't go bringing it into nightclubs but yeah, they're class


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,028 ✭✭✭H3llR4iser


    OP, if you need to look hard and ask for suggestions, it means the money is better staying in your pocket until something you really want comes up.

    Of the stuff proposed here, the only I'd go for was the Nespresso machine, if I didn't already have one :D

    Also, that money would pay for a flight lesson or new front brake discs (after I'd cook the current ones on the Alfa around a track!) for my car - but that's just me getting my blood pumping behind the yoke of an airplane or belting it around a track, you might not be into the same stuff ;)

    Travel to a city that is full of architectural wonderment. Valencia & Augsburg are two lesser known places which will impress.

    If you are into movies you could get this.

    If not you can buy it for me.

    :cool:

    Get a projector to hook up to your xbox, it's hard to beat a bit of gaming when it is projected on to the wall at about 88 inches diagonally.

    You can also connect your sky box, tablet, laptop etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,512 ✭✭✭BigDuffman


    A solid time piece. Or a pocket watch.
