    €925 in 2003, actually. I'm a natural sceptic.

    Your main concern is nightclubs? Aye, dead on!

    Your main concern is that you might not get any further than a bit of window shopping!

    What the feck is a leaving cert by the way?

    Amsterdam for 17/18 years olds? Not advised.

    Spent a week there, we spent half an hour in a nightclub at 7 in the morning on our second last day.

    Would advise a weekend (a week of Amsterdam is a bit much) and give yoursleves a few years life experience before heading out, I know guys in their thirites that have been seriously ripped off out there.

    I did two weeks in the Costa del Sol, in hindsight I'd have rather had the money to get more hammered in college.

    Jayz. Myself and a few mates went drinking in one of the lads' attics. Seems to have all gone wrong between myself and Aberdonian Stu doing the Leaving!

    Yep. Fairly accurate timescale, I do think.

    Extrapolating my faultless logic, you probably went on a Carribbean cruise, sipping that vodka with gold flakes in it, probably while trying to experience everything mentioned in that Peter Sarstedt song.

    I can't remember what I did, but it wasn't much; I was pretty introverted at 17. Come to think of it, it wasn't long afterwards that we met while we were both working ****ty summer jobs in Dunnes.

    Nah, he were you on foot alright. Here's a random thread bemoaning his demise. Slightly wonky timeline though, I think.

    God, I hate it when old threads like that come up, there's always something cringeworthy in them...

    I know. I have since read more Terry Pratchett, and have since come across Vetinari in them...

    Leaving Cert holiday? wtf?

    Zakynthos (also known as Zante) should be alright for ye. Though do a bit of research on what town yeer staying in. Some are more targeted toward the 18-30 than others ...well they all are to some extent though some like to pretend they're family friendly as well.

    Some serious advice now -it's apparently roaring up the pop charts in it's bid for the proud title of Absolutely no.1 Sexually Transmitted Infection hotspot of the Mediteranean. Play as hard as you like but play safe ffs ...and run a clean ship.

    Less seriously (though still seriously) you absolutely CANNOT FLUSH TOILET PAPER. It and whatever you've put upon it goes in a waste bin next to the toilet. I bullsh1t you not! How many lads are you rooming with again? Better pick up a few cans of Glade while yeer picking up them slabs of wifebeater.
