So happy with that. Expect all the soul destroying comparisons to mc Gregor but fuck it. Poirier looking good after his last two fights, great match up.

Went nutso (maybe) on the mattress. Heavily discounted to €900 (jaysus, €900. It seems like a lot of cash for a mattress). Has about a 1,000 pocket springs with memory foam moose. Feels rather spectacular. Although the process of picking a mattress seems a bit like Top Trumps. Some win on the number of pocket springs. Some have moose, latex fillings. Some promise different summer / winter experiences. But its hard to know what to weight most in the decision making.
Also tried a €400 mattress and it felt just about the same. So a bit confused by that, but assumed we weren't sophisticated enough to know the luxury we were experiencing on the more expensive one and shelled out the extra in the hope we'll eventually work it out.

A somewhat sensible gov elected next year and things should be rather pleasant in the medium term.

Is the idea that house prices will come down a bit so people renting will be able to buy and reduce competition?
I guess if that's the idea then there will be a shortish term problem with people who were set to buy under the old rules not having quite the full deposit available under the new rules clogging it up for a while.
It's crazy looking at the sort of kip €1100-1200 a month gets you almost anywhere in the city. Even looking out to the likes of Leixlip and Maynooth the prices don't go down. A pro landlord was chatting to a mate of mine who told him if you're looking you should either live in Carlow or live in Ballsbridge, because the reduction in prices for moving out to the sticks is pathetic.

A few positives of the CB rule change;
There should be some consolidation of households in the short term, friends/family who previously would have taken a 95% mortgage instead move in with other friends/family to share the bills etc whilst saving up for a proper deposit, freeing up some houses.
The steadying of the property market ought to allow people to assess their situation a bit better and so we might see some more stock come onto the market that people are trying to 'get out of' (investment properties). This is probably a small enough group again though.
Those who've been renting peacefully for some time have an opportunity to 'get onto the property ladder' [sic] Those who could afford to buy (now) instead of rent (but chose to rent in Bubble1 time) may make the move if the costs of renting become relative to buying increase much more.
There are negatives, especially the freezing/slowing down of mobility from Renters -> Buyers as you've pointed out. Not sure how to quantify it all though. I'm absolutely running on guesswork.
The BTL squeeze (mortgage holders not paying their mortgage), could also result in some consolidation of landlords, which should help in improving the quality stock (though not the amount of houses!).
Ultimately though, there is a supply issue that CB rules etc can't really do anything about. We need to get the lads out of NAMA and building houses again . A steady market wont see huge growth and thousands of buildings, but it should see less nonsensical building at the same time.
Currently, the Dublin rental market seems to have the following problems- a lack of supply of stock (quantity)
- a problem with value of stock (quality)
- an abundance of demand for anything
Not really sure that any (growing) city has ever not had these issues though!
Anyway, thoughts over.

Definitely true though, my sister and her husband moved into my great-aunt's house when she passed away. The woman was extremely poor (tiny pension), except for a house that she couldn't bear to sell or the effort of finding somewhere else to move to.
I assume there are some insurance type organisations offering to 'take' houses in return for a reasonable annuity and relocation? If not, start it.Last edited by Emmet; 29-07-15, 12:49.

In order to get the best price some fake illness, try and look incredibly feeble etc.
It's another way also to avoid your kids getting your property as inheritance and you get the cash and go and spend it before you croak.
it's surprisingly popular.

Problem in Dublin is most of the apartments and houses are shite, other places I have looked at can be expensive like here and similar size wise but it's not got fucking patterned carpet and a 30 year old bathroom with crumbling walls.
I love the dutch studio apartments where all your bills etc are included, new buildings of hundreds of apartments keep being pumped out with underfloor heating, soundproofing, great views, good decor, keeps the student scum in one place etc. When you are picking somewhere to live it's likely you are just waiting for building to finish they are that new.

Only have 1 700ml bottle of water to do me have to figure out a way of getting a second bottle mounted to my bike, have one of the smaller frames which doesn't incorporate a second holder.

You could stick a litre bottle on there instead of 700ml.

How does this curse thing work?Dublin have a job to do against Fermanagh this weekend. It’s not a difficult job and there’s no real doubt as to whether they’ll be fit for it or not. We can talk around it all we like but in the end we know that they’re going to beat Fermanagh
