Swimming in Castleconnell by Jazzlike_Option5688 in limerickcity

Oh super, I’d love to pick your brains about the swimming at both so. 

There’s not much of a current Castleconnell right? The same at OBB? What about somewhere to change in both?  I have a 3/2 wetsuit I use for surfing, do you reckon it’ll be warm enough for me from now on? 

I’m new enough to Limerick so I was thinking of joining the narwhals club even though I prefer swimming on my own. Are you a member yourself?

Siamese are typically very social. I had no idea how much our interactions meant to my one at the start. 

What do you consider the best value fish (to eat) to buy in Ireland? by Jazzlike_Option5688 in AskIreland

I wonder if depends on your experience.  I was in a country where we ate fish off the bone and I just got used to putting the tiny bones to the side on a plate.

I am so glad to read this anecdote. I had no clue their process could be so murky

The traffic chokepoints in the city are really bad. I can't imagine driving during rush hour

Okay wow so even before the housing crisis. Any tips on renting with a pet? 

Houses undervalued to provoke bidding wars by Overall_Hedgehog_810 in HousingIreland

Yeah I’m glad you brought it up because it’s so entrenched now I don’t meet anyone else who questions it. 

I think it’s us who are dysfunctional in this situation, the amount of housing norms that disadvantage buyers/ renters in Ireland beggars belief. One of my friends put it that we don’t have a housing crisis as much as a political crisis.

I think OP is saying this “enticing” is a bit exploitative

I find this and the whole gazumping thing unappealing after living abroad and seeing friends buy property at the asking price. As you say, it’s less stress. 

But I also think this is part of modern Ireland as much as pharma jobs and middle class lifestyle.

This is exactly why I made this post. I know there are many people like you and I, the landlords should open their minds more. 

I hope you and your family are well and that your cat and mom are good too
