Conference calls, the spud gobblers are well behind the times
Can you hear me? ok lets reschedule.

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 ââ"âaffordableâ""" units about. I canât 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 doesnât appear to have impacted anyone on TFK apart from the loonball of a Limerick poster who gives out that weâre 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 shouldnât buy what you canât 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 itâs getting more boomier again thanks to the long term policies of enda kenny

Stabbing people at race meetings, they have the Micks well beat at that.
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, weâve 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 Iâve never been to Blackpool or the East coast.
Weymouth is the pick of the bunch that Iâve 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 weâre only in the haâpenny place.
The seaside in oireland and britain is shit. Two foggy grey rocks on the edge of europe
I wouldnât 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.
