A strange room for rent

left_behind

I dont know if this is brilliant or strange but i thought id share.
Currently looking for a house and this is what i found

milehip1

think it'll be a little uncomfortable when you room mate showers in the mornings!

I was in a friend of a friends house recently and there were two of them living in the room which had a shower, counter and oven in it. Was rather odd to say the least.

serious? that's unbelievably awesome. getting up would be a hell of a lot easier! condensation must be a problem though..

In my friends old house in Renmore ya had to walk throught the bathroom to get to one of the bedrooms! Like a hall/bathroom with 2 doors in to it!

i was at a house party before with a similar setup, guy who lived in the room was giving guests the guided - and extremely drunken - tour, he notices that the door is locked, and casually shoves his weight against it, breaking the fragile bolt on the other side. "Come on guys, my room's through here" he casually waves, walking through the bathroom to his room....completely oblivious to the horrified guy sitting on the toilet....

I don't know what you were told dude, but that wasn't a house....it was a fcuking caravan.

Jeez, I'd say the poor guy nearly shít himself !

Some half-assed effort for an en suite, tis the recession I suppose :pac:

Ya gotta post the link to that place.

fifib

alot of hotels are doing this too these days..no lie!

DonnieScribbles

It looks like a room I viewed in Gort na Glaise on Sandy Road a few years ago. I remember thinking it was great, then thinking it was impractical and strange... Didn't take the room!

Unless I am very much mistaken, this is a room in a flat in a city centre location. This is a famous flat and has been visited by many 'celebs' over the years.

Illegal? Hardly... Retarded? Most definitely.

Ha ha ha ha! This is comletely ridiculous, surely the room would fill up with steam and get all damp everytime you used the shower?!

However, there is small consolation in the fact that a specially designed shelf for holding exactly two rolls of toilet paper has been installed beside bed A.

From this angle I'm guessing that the photograph was taken by someone sitting on the toilet bowl in the corner of the room.

Strange.

Onthe3rdDay

Remember 2 friends in Dublin who were living in a tiny flat. In their living room/Kitchen there was a cupboard which contained the shower.

Used to impress lady guests greatly:D

I long for the days when a shower will come equipped with a toilet, so you can take a dump as you clean yourself.

Genius, whenever this .....showlet or toiler is invented...........we will now that the pinnacle of modern engineering has been reached!

You could have an entire sub-forum on strange rooms and flats to rent in galway.

Where's that 'rents in galway' thread gone?

mrpig

Unless the OP would care to correct me, I believe that this flat is owned by a man who was once one of Galway's most colourful characters. Unless this type of interior design is more common than I thought....

You're not supposed to have appliances and light switches inside a bathroom, clearly there are plug sockets and switches inside the bedroom with this shower.

Skerries

have you ever been on one of those Shannon boat trips, the toilets are also a shower so you could have a shower and a dump at the same time

padraig71

At least it has a window! I once looked at a room in a flat on Merchants Road that had none at all - it wasn't till I'd left the place that I realised why it had seemed so strange.

I stil don't get the 'reason' why - every bathroom on the continent has light switches and sockets and I doubt there have been too many stupid accidents (not more then here when you have to drag your hair dryer into the bathroom with an extension cord...)

Cos water, electricity and either a hangover or being drunk is a lethal combination! And Ireland and England have over protective safety laws with regards to AC thats why you can buy a cool little notebook with a tiny power adapter and the bulkiest component is still the three pin plug! Altough their is a design for a foldeing plug out there that I can't wait to see go into production.

The plug that came with my desktop computer was kind of fold-ey...

If it's as cool as this where did you get it?

not that cool - it's not meant to be folded in and out each time like that one.

That's really neat. I wish they'd start making plugs like that - ever stood on a plug with the points up? I thought I was going to die.

Da_Chief

I'm 99% my mate used to live there. There is a separate flat at the side, which actually has a door into the main house. He stayed in the small room from what I can remember and didn't really know the two girls he lived with so doubt he would have known about shower bedroom combo.

Decent sized house in fairness.

Hopefully they will make it into production too class an idea not to. Another reason to ban current plugs under the Geniva convention is how much they hurt when you step on them!! (managed to avoid it myself so far but can imagine how much it hurts)

Not the place I was thinking of. Christ there are at least 2 of these love palaces about town!

LadyMayBelle

I know that place!!

A group of friends of mine moved in about ten years ago, and I would hang out there a lot but don't remember that shower being in that room?? Which is odd that they would have installed it. Actually it's odd to have ever installed it.

I have just emailed one of the girls about it, so stay tuned...:)

In one of the other rooms you can see a sink, which was quite common in bedrooms back in the day. Anyway, obviously there was a sink in that room too and someone had the questionable idea of putting a shower there instead of the sink as the water supply was already there.

Lordee it reminds me of some of the 'Bedsits' in Dublin during College years.
Hotplate in the corner, one had a loo/kitchen combo. Totally illegal!

Our voltage is higher here than the States, so shocks are a little more nasty here.

I stood on a plug once, and bit a chunk out my lip from the shock, then tripped and broke the lamp - it was SO 'bad comedy' (not at all funny at the time!):rolleyes:

Either the recession is over or this must be the dearest house to rent in Galway ever www.daft.ie/2912447

thefeatheredcat

lol this is too funny but sadly very, very true in Galway. I wonder how many times they've repainted that room to cover the mould from the shower instead of treating the mould??

I'm not at all surprised with the landlords these days, not with the horrors of houses I've seen around Galway.
particularly Renmore when they used to get students in before the villages and they'd be a pervy landlord squashing in nearly 15 girls in a 4 bed house. a bit of a run for the hills moment

Stayed overnight in an etap hotel in Derby last year and the there was a shower just like that in a room half the size. Oddly enough every room is equipped for three people as standard!

Used to go out with a girl before that was living in one of the old houses in wellpark. There was 7 of them living there and they only had the upstairs of the house. The only good thing about it was lots of bodies meant there wasn't much heating needed in the winter.
