    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.

    True.
    'Features include detached, fully furnished, out side patio area, shower, easy to heat, south facing glass open front, parking and cable...etc'

    What is the 'detached' referring to? The shed itself, presumably?
    Gawd, t'is grim, even if there is a second (crying) chair for someone to cry with the
    occupant.

    Crying is about the only thing there'd be space for 2 people to do simultaneously in that gaff!

    I see the pictures a bit different. While it looks like a different apartment I think the pictures were taken a completely different times. The fire extinguisher is a different colour, no mat outside the bedroom door etc.

    I think the door in pic 4 is at an angle which is why its hard to see it in pic 1.

    See my drawing below - and before you ask, YES!, I have a lot of time on my hands today!! :P:D

    This is very good!

    I know we had the discussion before, but are these sheds in the back of somebodys house or garden legal?
    can't recall any definite answer and can't imagine they are. what's with sewage connections for example?
    and do they need planning permission?:confused:

    I reckon that was one of those 'home office' or 'garden room' type affairs and these chancers thought they'd chuck a bed into it and try and scam some poor bastard out of the guts of €500 a month.

    Those chairs are very handy if you're into people watching you have sex.

    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 ....

    Edit: photos added for future reference...

    Yeah, it's not too long since that was on daft. Looks like the new room-mates couldn't hack all the craziness and moved out. You'd be so tempted to arrive in with a pile of friends and a big dirty chipper on your last night there.

    Very big spacious kitchen?
    OR
    Very very small kitchen?

    I can't decide, it's like one of those optical illusions.

    A fully equipped kitchen? :confused: It's an oven, microwave and fridge stuck in the corner of the living room.


    Also advertised as a 4 bed - 2 single and 2 double rooms, yet the information lists just 2 double rooms. Is it too much to expect that the details are proof read?

    That's a strange one alright... must be an optical illusion, I wouldn't consider a kitchen 'fully equipped' without running water and that... maybe I'm being snobby :P

    Fill a bucket in the bathroom or spray cleaner! I don't think you would use it too much anyway, it'd be more ornamental than functional. Have to use paper plates and plastic cutlery - no where to wash or store them.

    ''Excuse me while I go to the bedroom to get you a cup from the wardrobe.'' :rolleyes:

    In fairness my parents let houses to students. You would be surprised when new people move in and they tell you the washing machine or oven isnt working. And when my parents phoned up the old tenants to tell them their deposit is returned. They would tell you they never once used the oven or dryer in 9 months

    not surprising. i have never in 2 years used the dishwasher here and if there were one would not use a drier. used the oven on christmas day only; costs too much in electricity. washing machine for sheets and towels only

    I had a little apartment with a very small kitchen and used to use the bottom dishwasher rack to drain dishes after washing them in the sink :) (the top tray was for wine glasses and stuff that wouldn't fit in the cupboards!)

    A lovely garden shed in Citywest

    Fluorescent light too. The flickering definitely won't get annoying.

    See through "bedside tables" too. :D

    As someone who may be on the rental market in the next few months, some of those ads would be funny if it wasn't such a grim situation :-(
