artfoley - some guidance for my one would be appreciated too please. An old school and college pal but one I don’t see all that often these days. Would probably go for pints 3 or 4 times a year with the wider old group. How much?
Overnight in a hotel? Country or city?
Overnight, staying in the reception hotel in Co Wicklow…
That’s a terrible name for a hotel…
Hundred quid not a cent more
Art- a very good mate getting married in Jine- I wont be returning to potatoland for the wedding- how much?
TDB or Croppy?
200 should do the trick
Burgers?
On a somewhat related topic, what is the going rate to give a nephew/neice for their confirmation?
No, Burgers is married.
Dunno, gave my niece 20 and a silver bracelet for her communion but that was from me and wife so I spose a score would do
Was thinking of sticking a tonne in a card, just so I look like a big shot.
Stingy cunt
50 will do I’d say, if you have a few other the tonne could be a pain In the hole to follow up, if there’s only a handful go nuts billy big balls.
I gave Mac €150 in the card. He didn’t look too impressed.
You should catch her a crow
No wonder this country is ruined… A slice of cake and a glass of pop along with a 5 Euro note should be enough for any kid. It’s a retarded fucking tradition, calling around to people’s houses or having a party to collect money… No one gives a fuck about the religious side of it.
You Christians are a fucked up bunch of hypocritical bastards.
Does this carry on go on in other catholic countries?

I bought a BMX with my communion money if memory serves me correctly, presume the old pair subsidized it a bit, memories gone to shit to be honest. Savage machine 
Two others at the moment but both are 4 or under. Might wait and see what the other brother is giving and double it
