   My first condom cost me IR£5 for ONE !

   One damn it !

   It was late on a weekend and there was no chemist open at 11 at night and Joe had a few on him, and he knew he had an eager customer caught in a poor supply high demand situation :)

   ( For perspective, I think a pint cost IR£2.50 at the time )

      A pint was about £2.50 – so 1999 then?

               I took a guess at the price in fairness… was it as low as 2? Damn I over paid on that rubber wha’ :)

               Was it good value in the end, though?

               For future reference, a pint of Guinness in the Stables in UL in Sept 1993 cost £1.75.

               Yez can work back/forward from that…

               According to this [finfacts page] the average price of a pint of Guinness in 1993 was €2.24 [£1.73];

               It was an average of £2.50 (€3.17) in 2002; So The Old Boy wasn’t far off.
