Who'd live in a house like this? Part 2

If that chimney belongs to another flat then that means you'll either have free heat, or basically no control over the temperature of your accommodation.

I think whats after happening is that there is no other 'flat' as such. Just some cute hoor whose house you have to go through in order to your accomodation


Shur you know the type. Uppity lad/gal who heard about people making 'stupid money' renting out spare rooms and the like and decides to herd a few very cheap but not so cheerful tradesmen into their attic to convert it on a shoestring with the hope of making lots of money quickly.



First time you pay the rent they'll be delighted to see the money. Second month perhaps will be OK but the third month they'll be secretly getting really annoyed and resentful about the fact that you're sharing the building with them and they'll start with the friendly requests. Make a little less noise when you come in, do this, do that, do the next thing


Few more months will pass and internally they'll be seething with hatred towards you but still tolerating you. They'll start to blackguard you, come into your room while you're gone, f*ck with your stuff, give out to you over completely unreasonable stuff and things will get ugly. If they're lucky you'll fcuk off at this point and they'll hope to rent to some no life quiet loner with an OCD cleaning obsession. This will fail. After a year or two they'll be left with a sh1tty attic conversion they never really wanted without breaking even

Edit: They'll refuse to fix stuff like that hanging socket because they're hell bent on making money. If the place starts to fall apart they'll blame you. On the way out they'll meticulously scrutinise the place for a reason to keep your deposit and fulfill their landed gentry fantasy

Do the "ladies" come with the house?

Asking for a friend. Right?

We're entering month three of lockdown. I know at this stage they'd be my best friends. Except for Lucy. Lucy's a bitch.

Whatever about the lovely ladies, the fecking gravestone angels on your sitting room hearth - shudder!!!


That is just outstandingly bonkers!!

Just noticed this one's feet are the wrong way around...

Maybe that's why the Virgin Mary is praying for her.

Or it could be the "lady" who seems to have fallen over with no pants on and has a small bunny rabbit peeking over her arse.

I do like that the gentleman in blue is politely averting his eyes

the kitchen table and chairs are wrapped in plastic, bit unusual looking also. They are leather so it should be easy to clean anyway

Three of the 10 property features are:

• CLOSE TO TOWN CENTER
• TOWN CENTER LOCATION
• EXCELLENT LOCATION

That house is so full of... culture

RTE could do a special Home of the Year for people with similar homes.

14 pictures in before the first sight of the Virgin Mary.
I was starting to doubt.

Just to play devil's advocate for a minute, that house is a lot nicer than most of the places where people of this particular culture tend to live.

That's a pretty low bar you're setting

So much concrete on the outside, not a bit of grass! Grim. (The house itself is quite nice, at least on the outside). Some madman put up a cross on the radiator too.

From my personal 9 year experience of dealing with a certain ethnic group, I found that the houses could be immaculate but only if they were the type to live in the caravans parked outside. From my personal experience, it's 50/50 between an immaculate house they don't live in vs something you'd see in an RTE report into the state of council housing.

Wheels sink in grass. I'm saying this as (my personally based) fact by the way, not having a go. As per the thread title, I definitely wouldn't live there anyway.

Im laughing at this just because it is so true. Landlords who rent out rooms in their own house want your money but they dont want you actually living there.

I remember a few years back nearly renting in one of these places until the landlady said a condition was I couldnt cook any food or use the kitchen in any way whatsoever. Stupid bint thought she could charge 750 a month and then expect me to also soak up the cost of eating out 21 times a week just to suit herself, eh no thanks missus and good luck finding the idiot who would accept that.

Brilliant. Great spot for college tbf. Nothing like a lovely warm shower while sitting on the pot dying hungover.

Five bedrooms and only one bathroom - sounds like it might not be enough?


No problem, they've thought of that...:eek:

Not seen anything like that since i was in Xiamen..

Yeah thats pretty common in Asia.
Places I lived in in SK had the full bathroom as the shower, not dividing screen or anything as it was too small

Going back to that boss of a place in Rathkeale, I'm wondering what the bottom of the fridge says.
