Grand job, from the list I see on Daft avoid the one thats down as Legion Terrace (Rough enough area), Fee Court apartment is a handy area but I know alot of the lads that rented the apartment beside that and because it was rentals most those apts are in rag order. Sandy lane is a block or party apartments and the same goes for hibernian court.

Cheers for the info.

Longford Lettings

Boss lady is out of the office today, so will give them a shout come Monday when I am on the way up to view a few from Daft. Other letting agents seem to be tapped out at the moment.

Tullow is still top. Although our position could be threatened next season as financial fair play is really hampering us in this transfer window. It's tough operating sell to buy in Carlow.

Transformers Devastation (was free a while ago on PS Plus) was actually fairly enjoyable for what it was. Kind of like a Bayonetta/DMC game with some minimal item/rpg/speccing elements. Finished it in 2 sittings, was pretty decent

Got attacked by a dog in real life on Saturday. Real life is scary. Managed to smite the beast with my kindle I was carrying at the time. Owner gave me a real dirty look. FFS it was her dog that started it.

Or was the dirty look just the look she gives when she wants to bed you :P

Ouch... What kind of dog? Did it do any damage?

gimli2112

it was some kind of mix, mainly poodle I think. It was quite big but not too scary. It just snapped at me which I managed to avoid and backed off once I smacked it but it really went for me. So no harm. My barber told me after it's normally quite a docile dog. I'm getting f-all sympathy from anyone I tell. It was early morning and I was sober.

Those little yappy ones are the worst, mainly due to the fact, the owners tend to treat them like babies - rather than dogs. So they never get trained properly, or disciplined. They're terrible to have around kids too.

I'm picturing a drunk gimli walking down the street, checking out some Paris Hilton wanna-be, and makes a lewd comment.
Then her chihuahua dives out of her handbag, locks onto gimli's neck and he's running around in circles trying to bat it off with a Kindle.

Didn't have much luck getting places to view today. Went up with the mother (who really just wanted to see the cathedral, it burnt down few years ago).

The first was ****e, smelled of damp, dog, and damp dog. A two bed apartment squeezed into the ground floor of a house.

The second, we didn't actually view, it was a bit out from the centre of town, not so bad, but the boarded up houses, the ****ty looking building, and the like. As soon as we pulled up outside it, we both said nope, and got just left.

The third, and final, was a bloody lovely apartment, just off main street. And thanks to some ****ery by some couple that said they would pay extra for it, it looks like I am moving in on the weekend.

Mother****ing Goldilocks over here.

Yeah the first place you were out I think I know where that place is. Most the rentals around the town were just young fellas and young ones renting them for a party place etc hence why they stink haha. Ah I take it you found a place at the back of the hotel then?

I've heard the guy telling the story on the Joe Rogan podcast before, and I may have seen a kind of South Park Style animated version of it. But I never knew the guys name, so just looking at the title of the video I was thinking "Please be the Machine."
