Some amount of shooting stars this morning

I think he would be called a great uncle. Some kind of exception to the 'normal' rule...

I think you just need to pay tax on the income

Herdquitter made a comment previously about brains not being used.

There's other species without brains but it doesn't stop them.😀

Anyone know how much capital gains tax is on selling entitlements that you built up without purchasing?

May sound stupid but how about keeping front facade and replacing back wall with a few steel uprights, could store fert spreader or the like then. might get some use if spending money.

Bungalow blitzkrieg 😉😉

Yourself or a builder?

Ah poor Jethro, I enjoyed his comedy, granted it wouldn't be everyones taste and some of it could offend 1 or two but it was harmless enough..

Watched the bungalow show there - 500k on a holiday home… Now, it was a savage job in all fairness…

I haven’t seen the other episodes, but from what I read of them, it was high money as well…

This, along with maybe a few other comments on other threads - it makes me wonder, is it I’m out of step with the world? 😉

Are wages that high that people can afford half a million holiday homes? Like, are most households now bringing in 100k plus?

Is it cos farming pays so little, that has us (or maybe just me) half conditioned to think people don’t get paid as much as they do?

I do wonder the same thing myself I can't grasp it myself the money that is being spent in certain situations the one thing that i can't get my head around is the unreal amount of high end cars that are around the place

Same thing if you're an architect on the show you want the nation to see something special. The figures are up there too. (Well total spend). But you're not going to do yourself down on spend on national television for Jim walking in off the street to the office and calling for a similar house for similar money.

When you've high spend you've room to work on for the next project. When you've low, you're letting yourself down as an architect and the building industry as whole down on national television.

Rumour in work the fella paying €1000-1500/month rent for a two bed apartment supposedly dropped €800 on a pair of runners lately hasnt been confirmed or denied yet but ye cant have smoke without fire and i wouldnt be one bit surprised at it either. I reckon tis just lads from rural/farming backgrounds have more appreciation and respect for money than some townies. There was also a nice few pound spent on a communion with him recently too, wouldnt see the inside of a church one end ofvm the year to another (same as myself) but they had to be seen to be flash as f#ck on the day if it in front of everyone else. None of us "thick mutton headed culchies" here can make head nor tails of it nor do i really want to either.

There definitely seems to be more respect for money from rural people than there is with town people. Hard to know who’s right or who’s wrong, as the saying goes “there’s no towbar on a hearse so you can’t bring it with you!”

But you would hope that same man, if he has that type of money to waste on runners, would have a few pound put away for the rainy day, but sometimes impressing the neighbours is worth more to lads.

Herself was only talking about a woman she knows from town the other day that’s after spending €900 or something like that on a new iPhone for her 12 yr old daughter for Christmas. The same woman will be on to the Vincent de Paul to get a donation for the Christmas dinner or looking for briquettes for the fire so i don’t think that’s right either.

We stopped giving to the vincent de Paul. Donate to go fund me pages now of genuine cases.
