All I hear anymore is doom and beeping gloom. Literally EVERYWHERE. Our economy is falling down the crapper, the public sector are actually going to have to contribute to their pensions( I'm getting the violins out), Sean Fitzpatrick isn't facing criminal charges(WTF!!), the banks are being run by total f**ktards playing russian roulette with OUR money and our government consists of a plethora of nitwits who couldn't find their way out of a f**king paper bag, let alone an economic crisis.
Yet in these times of global financial hardship one must find a silver lining. The silver lining I am clinging to is that things are finally becoming a weeny bit cheaper. Like I might actually be able to one day afford a house, Tesco, over the weekend, had 25% off all beer and cider(getting drunk will make me forget all about this recession lark), cars are becoming more affordable(though petrol isn't) AND in Superquinn Butlers ice cream was reduced from 7.15 to just 3euro- Happy Days!
Yet Sunday just gone, I went down to THE ORCHARD by Rathfarnham Shopping Centre for a spot of lunch. Being hungover I decided to splash out the the extra 70cent for a pint of Blackcurrant as opposed to water. Little did I know they were actually going to take me out back and rape me over the price of a pint of blackcurrant. Gentle Readers, I paid FOUR EURO for two pints of blackcurrant. That's TWO EURO for one pint of blackcurrant, the whole f**king bottle of blackcurrant costs LESS than TWO EURO. WTF????! It's yet another example of our society's preference to getting rich quick as opposed to possessing a moral backbone.
THE ORCHARD by RATHFARNHAM SHOPPING CENTRE you have been NAMED AND SHAMED for INSANO PRICES in times when people don't have cash to throw about on pints of blackcurrant(well not anymore) you have ripped off your customer.
I hope you're ashamed. Punk.
