Building towers.

I think the newer towers are a great addition to the London skyline. The view across the river back to the Tower of London, taking in the Wilkie talkie, gherkin et al is a great city skyline, and the shard is beautiful. If overseas investors are prepared to back the building of flats and offices in a country then why not? If there is a crash (and one old seem inevitable at some point) there will be many more “”"“affordable”""" units about. I can’t see the problem. The crap that was built in the sixties and seventies is the problem.

Ya the property crash here had very little effect, should be fine

It doesn’t appear to have impacted anyone on TFK apart from the loonball of a Limerick poster who gives out that we’re not building enough houses

Those particular properties appear to be owned by overseas or indigenous investors rather than as a primary residence. Who gives a fuck if they get burned?
In my honest opinion, you shouldn’t buy what you can’t afford. Ireland got screwed badly in equal part because it was so reliant on construction for jobs and tax revenue. It was the loss of jobs that was the main problem for a lot of people. Interest rates went down, not up.

And the boom got less boomier.

But it’s getting more boomier again thanks to the long term policies of enda kenny

Hail Hail

Keeping hold of their currency.

Hurling.

A rare serious one on this thread,
Seaside resorts, all along the south coast of England you have some great beaches with proper entertainment and facilities, same in West Wales, like something out of the Whizzer and Chips, we’ve holidayed in Cornwall, Dorset and Tenby in Wales over the last 5 years and I can say without hesitation that the seaside is better in the UK, and I’ve never been to Blackpool or the East coast.
Weymouth is the pick of the bunch that I’ve been to, punch and judy shows, donkey rides, sandcastle building competitions, professional sand sculptors and mini sports days, merries for the whole of the season, I could go on.
While in Ballybunion yesterday it crossed my mind that we’re only in the ha’penny place.

I wouldn’t hurtle to Blackpool.

The bathroom ware industry is far superior in the UK than it is in Ireland.
The missus wants a Japanese deep soak bathtub and I have to go direct to source on the mainland.
