    lmfao. Is this the first time you have been abroad? They've been doing that for years. Even in Tunisia 4 years ago they did that.

    Not the first time I've been abroad but the first time I've bothered shopping for drink to bring back. We had 8 spare Euros so ended up with 2 1ltr bottles :D

    @ 8 spare.

    When we went to tunisia we judged the spending money perfectly. The final thing we bought was a pizza & chips from the restaurant next door to the hotel - it left us with about 30p worth of tunisian currency - so we left it as a tip. Job done. We spent EXACTLY ?100 pounds worth of currency in a week between the two of us.

    That reminds me, I've still got a fistful of dibdobs left from Oman. Only about ?2 worth though (yet still about 15 notes and a bagful of coins), so no point changing it.

    Wonder if I could sell it on ebay

    We were all inclusive so only took 50 Euros as we didnt really need any money.
    It turned out that I had to withdraw another 50 as I wanted to buy a BB gun so spent the change on the vodka.

    @ bb gun. everyone always has to buy at least one when they go abroad. its like the law.

    PMSL @ dibdobs.
    Tunisia was like that - we caught a local bus there one day - it took us about 5 miles to a town further inland - it cost the two of us about 5 pence in real money.

    The three-wheeled tuc-tuc thing we got on from the bus station to the shopping area cost us about ?4

    I saw a whole case of them and spent ages deciding which to get.
    Already got a .17 air pistol which is pretty good.

    The one I bought was an air soft sub machine gun with electronic sight, silencer (apparently this improves the range and accuracy) and a laser sight. Its made of plastic but it still ****ing hurts.

    We needed to test it rather sharpish so we took it back to the hotel room for assembly. I then told my gf to shoot me on the back (with a t-shirt on) which I felt but didnt hurt. So I dropped my 3/4 lenght trousers and boxers and asked her to shoot me on the ass. I was promptly running round the room screaming like a girl.

    I had 6000 bb's delivered for it the other day so I can mess around with it in the flat. :D
