poor jonah.

You should hear that being breathed lustily into your ear in Portuguese.

Interestingly, they don't pronounce "R" or "W" the same as us, though. So, anyway, this particular girl, she thought I looked like actor Rob Lowe.

So she'd call me "Hob Lov".

Tis difficult to keep it up in such a situation, I can tell you.

Good use of the word lustily there

 

[hermie]

Was she blind?
Might explain the heighten sensory of touch.

Boom! This is great

Actually, I also look nothing like Rob Lowe.

Hob Lov is a great name, though. I might start calling myself that.

What is my best advice for an American friend moving to Dublin that needs to share an apartment?
Daft.ie?

She's going to art school.

 

[Reets]

I suppose it's too late for "don't do it"?
That or daft.ie

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

"don't do it"

I was not consulted. I would have counseled strongly along those lines.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

She is really lovely and I'd love to help make it as least shit as it can be.

 

[hermie]

Show her this thread

Ah ffs

 

[nooleen]

'no private bath'

i'll bet

 

[therealjohnny]

ugh

for fucks sake

 

[therealjohnny]

That was an expression of my distaste for the ad, not for the shared bath shenanigans

unless they are lax in their cleaning regime..in which case.."ugh"

 

[jonah]

When is she moving over exactly? and for how long?

When is she moving over exactly? and for how long?

She arrives end of December

Starting college in January

A somewhat long term thing as she will be going to school there

Is she set on a share? Or would she live alone? Because if you recall my clamper/sofa thing the flat I was helping people move into was intended as a rental and they don't have a tenant yet.

I'm not sure. She reached out on FB.

She probably wants to be in the city. But I'm not sure what her budget is.

 

[Reets]

Most of my friends renting in town are passing between 500 and 600 for a share. They're mainly in dolphins barn and Smithfield, so not hugely swanky either.

 

[Jill Hives]

My old place went up a couple hundred after I left.
It's getting expensive again.

Is it the NCAD up in Thomas St?

I'd say tell her things are a bit shit in Dublin at the moment, but not to panic. If she can't sort something before travelling that you're sure you'd be able to sort something temporary for her (*) and she could look around while she was here.

No one moving to Dublin should be stuck in the 'burbs but at the same time she doesn't want to be jumping at the first thing she comes across, given the prices etc.

(*) I've a spare room like. Its small, I'm not in town, but if I can help at all. If its temporary like.
