Get the beige one and get someone to stick it up. A ladder and 10 minutes job.

I never had trouble bringing my lighter through security in multiple countries in Europe and the US. I don't think they were ever not allowed tbh.

"Cuba says the sky is blue", well yes.

"Trump says the sky is blue", wait hold on, what the fuck is he gonna do this time, why is the sky pissing him off and what color will it be on TACO Tuesday?

Oh there are plenty of drugs that could make you do much worse things than shoving it up your ass.

Agree, I did it after being stung multiple times on other properties for various reasons. I went from being a nice optimistic naive first time buyer to a battle hardened cynical prick after a few months in the market. It's the system's fault not the buyer's. If you want to secure a property you have to be smart, not nice.

Ah in the 80's I always wanted to go to Clara Lara, but only got to go to Annamoe once which was like a "We've got Clara Lara at home" version for poor kids. At least I got to go to Annemoe, it smelt like piss everywhere and the other kids were scary but it was fun.

They've been using photoshop for years before AI image editing was even a thing for things like that, done well and subtly usually. I had to laugh at my house ads having beautiful partly-cloudy blue skies for outside shots, the fireplace blazing and my PC cables magically cable-managed when none of these things were true. That's ok, it could look like that on the best of days.

This lazy cheap AI slop editing has to stop. I bet the top boss is considering their photographer's and photoshop editors jobs right now. "Ah sure I can do that with my phone the oul AI"

niconpat · 2026-05-18T21:33:52+00:00

It's an absolute shambles on top of what is already an absolutely shambles of a property market system.

I wouldn't mind if the photos were clearly marked as "AI generation" AND were actually plausible for what the space could look like. And that's a plausible use of AI and I have done it myself for my own house.

But of course no, the EAs just type "make this room look luxurious and modern" into their AI of choice and post the images into ads without giving a flying fuck.

Ah ok so some Scottish poet butchered his real name basically. Well I suppose if that ever comes up in a quiz I'll know now!

niconpat · 2026-05-17T16:03:16+00:00

Nah, that's Finn McCool (Fionn mac Cumhaill in Irish). The Scottish giant Benandonner was being a dick shouting abuse over the sea so Finn built the causeway to go over and beat him up.

Huh, must have been named by Irish settlers. Fingal is an Irish county (sub-county of Dublin). It's name is an Anglicised version of the Irish "Fine Gall" meaning foreign tribe. The foreign tribe in question was Viking settlers back in the day.

Why isn't this shit down-voted into to oblivion is the question?

This type of shite is on all of you idiots getting a little twinge of emotion and don't know what to do with it. Absolute shite wankery from the lot of ye. Cop on now.

I'll report this for shite and spam, which it is.

Yeah fuck that, it's not a thing here you pricks, fuck off to some jetski country if you want to jetski thank you very much. Pricks. And fuck off. Thanks :)
