      Walked into Dubray then on the way back and was horrified to see it was actually €27.99.

      Please explain the magical properties of 30 quid Coriander? Does it grow into a big Coriander stalk to the sky for adventure climbing through the clouds to a fairyland of giants and treasure ? Mad Ted mad .

              Aftersun was the perfect antidote to last nights abomination. A beautiful slow evocative movie. Melancholia done right. 4 out of 5 Wombats.

                  Aha, a fella texted me saying 'Willie here, you still doing the blinds?'

                  I texted back thinking it was you and hadn't heard back. Has just dawned on me now though who it must be.

Its not great but its decent and will be good after editing. My main point - fucking hell, if I could bottle that type of enthusiasm. 900 fucking words in 30 minutes. How are there sometimes months with nothing and then minutes with everything.

                        Not sure there's any point at all in trying to engage in debate online. This place the rare exception, although I'm sure Jbravado would say this is an echo chamber.

                        I think the hostile nature of online debate naturally gravitates people to safe echo chambers. Personally I try to curate my social media experience, wholesale blocking etc for the sake of my mental wellbeing, shutting out stuff like what's going on in Ballymun, but I'm all over it when it pops up in flesh and bone conversation.
                        Fuck me it's 1am and I'm drinking whiskey and calling Peter Casey a cunt on twitter.

                        Would call him a cunt to his face tbf.

                                  And the best United can do is sign a Burnley reject . Tbf, he is costing peanuts and he suits ETH in a couple of ways. He has a massive workrate in terms of pressing activity and gives a focal point for Bruno, Rashford etc to play off. Not to mention being an ideal target for Eriksen's set piece delivery and plan B over the top of a high press. Time will tell but he's not there to score 15 goals.

                                  More concering for United heads would be the £300m hole in finances for future installments on previous transfers. If ETH doesn't deliver regular Champion's League football then that club is in going to regress. Maybe not destined to be as fubar'd as Barca but someone really needs to toe the line on the finances. Newcastle and any other future oligarch/state funded club can easily leapfrog them. A lot will depend on what happens when/if the Glazers decide to cash out.

                                      I find the amount of time that is wasted discussing transfer fees, agents, wages, debt in soccer is mind numbing.
                                      It just makes the US salary cap model & draft model especially in basketball so much more superior as a spectacle.

                                      Watching teams figure out how they can manipulate caps & contracts and make trades, the subsequent grading of trades remains really interesting without all the negative financial discussion that revolve around soccer.

                                      I understand it’s not apples to apples but I’d imagine that people would find that particular aspect of the NBA to be objectively more interesting than the model in soccer.

                                        How active is the market? I'm guessing if X is your budget you're probably looking at listings that are 20% below that?

                                        Is it worth looking outside daft. Is there a possibility that less-online sellers might not be listed there?

                                          We're at the stage where the lender are doing 'final checks' before drawdown having had all of the documentation for the guts of a week already. I fully expect that process to end on Tuesday, the day after another rate increase comes into effect

                                            "....... [insert problem here] is because of all the bloody foreigners".

                                            What's the best way to respond to this casual racism?
                                            I was out with someone at the weekend who isn't from Ireland. Moved here about ten years ago. And they went on a long monologue about how Ireland needs to set a cap on people coming into the country in line with our housing situation (and it's the second time I've heard this speech from her ). I wasn't sure where to start so just didn't say anything and moved on to something else.

                                              I really like the draft and salary cap model. The whole environment in feeds into it though, from shool -> college -> pro. Being USA only sports/leagues makes it possible.

                                              Soccer being global makes it more difficult to manage in the same way, that's not to say it shouldn't more controlled or regulated. I think we'd all enjoy a bit more chat about the game rather than debt and money pumped into clubs.

                                                Estimated 2% inflation in house prices for 2023. Significant slowdown. Lots of landlords exiting the market, apparently 40% of house sales were as a result of that.

                                                Not sure how acute the slowdown is or will become but using a sample of 1; I’m told our neighbour(most direct comparison to our house) had an offer for 3% above asking back in Oct/Nov, decided to wait, offer gone and has recently sold for 3% below asking.

                                                    We seem to be looking at, at best, stable house prices. I suppose the big thing is where you are looking. If its a decent enough area of Dublin, then there's simply enough income being earned out there that decent area prices are unlikely to fall. As Terry Gorry mentioned about the old adage: 'buy the best house you can afford in the best area, but even a bad house in a good area is better than a good house in a bad area.', or something along those lines anyway.

                                                      Are things not changing quickly on that front? Ranelagh was a bad area until it wasn't, and then it was Stoneybatter, Inchicore etc.

                                                      I'd just be looking for somewhere convenient and ideally somewhere where when you say the address an older person would wince

                                                        How active is the market? I'm guessing if X is your budget you're probably looking at listings that are 20% below that?

                                                        Is it worth looking outside daft. Is there a possibility that less-online sellers might not be listed there?

                                                        I think Hitch recommended Terry Gorry's book. Is that worth reading?
                                                        Despite my escapades having a place that is 4 times bigger and not paying rent is pretty great, good luck.
                                                        Market has slowed down a bit, supply rose with a lot of LL's selling. The rising interest rates make it harder for people to get their max loan amount but at the same time the basic lending rule going from 3.5x to 4x this month will expand what non struggling people can get too. Banks are currently refusing drawdowns for tech workers sometimes as the underwriters are saying the market is too volatile, which would be a lot of the high earners but I'm sure people will get around that with letters from their work or whatever. There is inflation in construction costs and that's causing a slowdown of building things afaik, so as you can see the factors are all over the place. I'd say especially for houses that need work that massive overbidding will be less of a thing for now, while turn key houses probably still command a premium, mine was 100k over but I'd be surprised if it was still as bad. Apart from daft or myhome, you'd probably need some local knowledge of a place to get a house off market.

                                                            Yeah, I'd say the best area is one that you want to live in, it will all be gentrified pretty fast apart from areas you won't be looking anyway. Where I am was so grim when i moved to dublin, now I get cauliflower wings and tofu scramble in two places next door.

                                                              It should be, build up ffs. But who trusts shite Irish apartments, there needs to be a big overhaul in the process and standards, accountability, be very happy living in apartments in other countries - it's been amazing in the past, not in Ireland for sure. Still lots of horror stories here trying to get damage fixed in apartments, management companies are non existent. A student apartment I lived in in Amsterdam was better than any place in Ireland I've seen, including houses. Place flew up as well, builders lived on the site. They treat apartments properly, better standard, long contracts etc. No idea what new build apartments are like here now, time will tell, they certainly are expensive!

Same as crap you hear of happening at football matches. Online loads again hide behind anonymity to be brave, but if there was ever a face to face, even with zero threat or likelihood of physical repercussions, most would be quiet as a mouse I suspect.

Many areas have bright white street lighting, and this place had dimmer yellow street lighting. Amazing the difference it made.

                                                                          That said on a very small sample size (of two houses) there was a lot of interest in both in terms of numbers of people turning up to view them, although I'm sure there is a certain percentage of tire kickers in every viewing.

                                                                          I think it will come down to area. Houses in so called nice areas will still commend a premium but based on what I saw last weekend, houses in, at best, average areas are still pricey. One of the houses we looked at was on the market for €700K and it looks like it's already gone sale agreed. House was OK, you could move into it right away but you would want to do some work in time but the area wasn't good.

                                                                          We're going to one in Ranelagh tomorrow. Appointment was made earlier in the week and the estate agent told us by the time we get to view it, it might already be sale agreed.

That said we've nothing too expensive bike-wise but it suited us for those and power washer and small space for other small stuff.

Has its own feel as a place, big local budget for area improvements, simple to get into town, but because a lot of 'trades' used to live there there are loads of those former council 82sqm houses available for 400k, that probably can only increase in value, when you modernise and expand the space.

                                                                                            We were thinking we might move into Clonskeagh as the kids gravitate towards their secondary school there, but now thinking almost certainly not as its just rows and rows of houses with nothing - no mountains, no seas, no sense of 'an area'.

                                                                                            Obv the likes of Ranelagh would be tops, but almost impossible to afford there for most people.
