1.ESB electricity meter reading you have to take the reading every month!?

2.Chef-speed veg chopping A pint of blood down, I can confirm this is definitely best left to the professionals

3.Opera Singing, in a foreign language. For hours. Face it, we’re all peasants.

5.Suede shoes Gorgeous – until it rains. Then we cry.

7.Linen dresses-shirts-pants-anything So chic on the catwalk. So crumpled in real life.

8.Skirts that ride up Demure standing up, pornographic sitting down. Bad for job interviews.

9.Airport costs A euro for a tiny plastic bag, 40 to print a boarding pass, 90 in duty free. Broke before even leaving the Departures.
