What's a "Caravan converter" when it's at home?

Must be the s**test Transformer of them all that one.

Maybe it's one of the guys from Brainiac!

This one is close to the mark.

Custardpi · 03-05-2014 11:27pm

From 2000, surely a suitable soundtrack to the crying chair phenomenon.

It's probably the same block.
The chair just moves hovel to hovel!

I reckon its a bit like the film The Ring but instead of viewing a video / the chair condemns anyone who sits on it to a perpetual twilight existence in a 'studio bedsit' forever ....

Absolutely horrible house for rent in Mount Hawthorn. Anyone ever lived in a house full of FAS boys?, well this is it but theirs no one there anymore. Its very old, cold and bold(we reckon it lowers the price of houses around us). Before you waste petrol or taxi money i can give you a visual tour through skype etc.
They are two lads in the house, Im a mechanic and the other lad is gone up to a farm for a while. the other guy is gone home for a while. We are respectful lads who enjoy a good powerful weekend. We are looking for a nice genuine person who can have a laugh.
We have foxtel, internet and a chip pan, along with all the needs for, wait for it...........$100 a week plus two weeks deposit. We want someone asap male or female(irish).
Contact me on 0414652910.

Thats an ad I put up on a facebook page. The ad got over 50 likes and our new tenant is a topless bar girl(skimpy) from Kilkenny:D

F**k sake! The audacity of some people. If anyone actually pays €475 a month for that.. I don't even know.. I'm lost for words.

Thinking the exact same thing. 475 a month for that poxy room/shed. The ad suggests it even has a balcony. The furniture the finishings all suggest cheap greedy slumlord.

Report it to housing standards @ SDCC or the environmental health @ HSE

coffee_cake · 04-05-2014 2:56pm

For stuff like that understair "bed", on the one hand it's totally wtf but on the other hand, if I were really stuck and booted out of somewhere, didn't have a big deposit, was on a waiting list or something for RA or falling between the gaps, it would be good to know there's really cheap stuff out there to do for a while

It's still mad seeing garden sheds though... wonder if it gets really cold

I like how there are no taps on the "kitchen" sink and the waste pipe for same sink runs across the yard. Complete diy job.

Patio in fairness, but the place is still super grim! Not even a proper oven. 'Easy to heat' doesn't sound very convincing - total chancers!

Yeah to be fair it did say patio/balcony. The honest description would have been small paved yard shared with main house.

AlwaysAnyTime · 04-05-2014 4:18pm

Looks like they dragged the garden table and chairs into the "apartment". I can just imagine them furnishing the place.

"Right...hmmm.. they'll need a table and chairs also... ahh feck it.. spare table here in the garden will do"

And the beside lockers too, I use those in my garden shed for storing loose bits and bobs, tools, etc.

Ah I just saw that in the rent.ie description! I think that's the catch-all term for a garden OR patio OR balcony. None of which really feature there!

I googled 'daft.ie crying chair' and that came up from broadsheet.ie.

Some other pretty sad results too.
