Yeah expensive and according to that article the average salary of residents is just over 35k a year which can't be right. I assume nobody netting 2.4k a month is willing to pay 1.4k for a room+bills

Sounds like it would be snapped up by tech companies for staff moving to Ireland.

Bills are included in the rent price according to the Indo article.

Rents in the order of €1,350 per person per month will include all bills

I'd guess the average €35K earnings figure is official day job, but the node living concept will probably attract people who double job with bar work, waitressing, music, etc and it will likely be a good place to network with other like minded people to get that sort of extra cash-in-hand.

I said room+bills for 1.4k which is what I assume nobody is willing to pay.

Is there many people logging a 35k a year job and working a 2nd job?

Really, I didnt see it attracting those types at all, figured yanks and other non irish coming over to work tech jobs would be the target market

[eamonhonda]

Irish people wont pay it anyway, theres nowhere near enough drinking/having fun money left after that rent. We dont value our comfort that high

Ah, I read your post as 'pay €1400, plus bills'.

I definitely know a few people who'd have normal decent paying jobs and do a kind of hipstery second job a few nights a week or at weekends - bar work, running yoga/pilates classes, an afternoon in one of those ye olde vinyl record shops, a stall in Georges St Market, selling their own jewellery/tshirt design stuff. I even know a postman who has a decent side making candles at the weekend.

I think some of these people would love the node concept, although they'd be too old for it now. But I think that's the sort it would attract.

Stewards Enquiry a thing in this?

The communal spaces with a Bean an Ti as the Independent is calling it is an interesting idea. I have a mate who was living in a similar space in London and recommended it for exactly it's intended target audience, young professional new to the city/country etc.

1350-1875pp per month all inclusive

Man Trump is such a proper weirdo, aside from all his other flaws. Who the fck thinks a shiteating grin + thumbs up gesture is the right decorum for an event about the murder of 17 schoolkids?

10 of the nurses and doctors next to him? (Well the smile part anyway)

There was probably just some friendly words said to make everyone feel comfortable and having the President Trump there would be giving the hard working staff a short mental break from a difficult period. Some people will pick flaws in everything.

It's the actual Olympic Games, I'd expect us to have some reporters there even if we'd zero competitors. The days of doing everything from a box-room in Montrose are gone.

There's probably a valid argument for never sending anyone anywhere (news or sport) and just piggybacking off other broadcasters, but I like the current way.

Any money saved by not sending them would just disappear into a black hole anyway, rather than solving homelessness or giving little Timmy his operation. I hope the two of them enjoy themselves.

It’s the Winter Olympics,it’s beyond niche in this country.a box room dub over job would do fine. Never said anything about the homeless,RTÉ are losing money and have given up on six nations and I think some World Cup games next year because of that so I think in light of that it is an interesting choice

lols. so you think that is the appropriate decorum then for a mass murder event? Its very very weird and he's a very very weird dude.

I don't agree its weird to smile for a photo its actually a very normal thing to do.

i watched you've been trumped yesterday. Low budget documentary about the golf course in Scotland which Trump is building and the ongoing fight with the locals. It was filmed before Trump was president. Now i'm sure this type of battle happens with every developer and every big deal, but Trump really comes across as a petty and horrible little man.

It's quite sad he was allowed to build it though, and in a way, it just feels like it's going to be an abject failure.

He tweeted it himself at the time, his twitter being the only source of real news with all the fake #MSM. Could have been the wife of a guy who was falsely imprisoned in some country, doesnt matter it was funny, he had the pose of some fella from town meeting Mcgregor.

He could still be the GOATPOTUS and have an inappropriate photo pose, you dont have to defend his every move.

Ya think? I'd use it a fair bit in real life. Usually when someone in work says something stupid 'ahhh duuude' indicating: where did it all go wrong for you? My hip 24-year-old sister uses it loads, so it might just be that you missed it coming back into fashion.

I doubt many here are hip to our jive, turkey

Lamb keftas (last recipe on the page) on the menu tonight from the Persiana cookbook. The smell of the marinating meat is amazing! Made a Greek yogurt, mint and sumac dip that tastes amazing. Sumac is a fascinating ingredient. Read a description of it being the Middle Eastern version of lemon, but that ain't like any lemon I've tried.

There was a program by Nigel Slater doing a food tour of Iran on bbc last night, the bit I saw was very good.

Cunt is a great word. So many layers, so many context and tone dependant meanings to it.

'You're a gas cunt'

It's only really endearing when the cunt is a bloke though.

Has a different tone when the cunt is a woman.

That's the beauty of the word though. Only sound cunts use it when talking about men, it takes a real cunt to use it when referring to women.

There's no better word than cunt to describe a cunt of a woman though.

Sometimes its necessary to really get across your point. Nothing else can work for a real cunt of a woman
