Isnt there a law coming in a few months that is supposed to outlaw a 'bedsit'?
i'd well believe it, seen some horrible places in the 90's, never thought i'd see it again.

as for the law, they'd probably just try and rename it to 'studio'

a 'contemporary' studio, all modern cons, cons indeed.

My 1st flat was 140 a week back in 2005

its was 2 rooms- kitchen and sitting room together- and bedroom and bathroom together- there was literly a room divider (the chinese ones) between the bed and the toilet

at the time i didnt care cos i was 18 and thick and i just wanted freeddom but now looking back i was some dope paying that for that flat!

and heres a sketch think of a big country kitchen- and that was the size of the whole place

I remember my houseshare, Near DCU in 2006...

80 quid a week. bills included.

the sitting room was converted into a bedroom for 2,
garage was a bedroom for two,
there was a single bed in with the boiler...
think we had 12 persons 'living' there. More if we take into account the revolving door policy. I moved in half an hour before the girl moved out.
Thankfully downstairs loo had a shower installed, so us living on the ground floor didnt have to go up stairs ever!
Tiniest kitchen. learned to eat stuff a student shouldnt have to, just from lack of cooking time and cooking utensils.
Pasta and burgers cooked in same pot+water not a rare sight.

Mental not even the word.

That's what happens when you have shíte public representative's.
It is being scrapped? Since when? There has been no amendment to the Statutory Instrument.

I'm sorry, but I would rather live in a tent or a hostel than fork over that amount on pure principle, especially these days with everyone fleeing this sinking country.

The knife sticking out of the wall in the first picture is amusing

I like this one, although why can't they just take photos of what the place actually looks like although I like the photographers eye for detail I don't care how lonely the first image looks.

Also I'm pretty sure I've seen that bed shot somewhere before..

It appears to be a shed, there's a knife stuck into the front of it and whoever is renting it out didn't even bother cleaning up.

Also, where the hoover is gave us a few giggles.
