Ah yeah. I started a thread a while ago describing the anti-male discrimination I suffered at the hands of a land lord. That thread didn’t get to 60-odd posts.



You lot, pfft. “Ooooh, some possible racism, goody. Saddle up on the bandwagon, this moral indignance ain’t gonna display itself! YEEEEEHAA!”









I’m joking, of course.

As in "I went to get a sandwich in Spar and the girl at the deli didn't understand the word 'bread'"

When Roxy gets back and sees what youse lot have been saying, there is going to be trouble. Big trouble!

i've been looking on daft.ie last few days and i cannot BELIEVE the amount of ads that say

"NO FRENCH, BRAZILIAN, CZECH, POLISH, ETC"

welcome to ireland. now get out.

pricks.

when i was looking a couple of years ago, my absolute favourite, for a place that rented per person and not per room:

"POLISH WELCOME! LIVE WITH FRIENDS!"

 

[La La]

but it was certainly an *interesting* topic and sparked some (i think) valid responses.

the last few posts have been more about the anti-certain races sentiment from daft.ie more than anything else.

i don't see the problem.

Were these ads you saw flat sharing, or renting the whole flat?

the ones i saw were for flat sharing - im not sure if that sentiment exists among people renting out whole properties, you'd have to check!

also I got a commsion from Channel 6 to pilot a sit-com based on the misadventures of Jean Luc Sigund Kowalski Ronaldo and his ill fated, hilarious, and oft touching, attempts to find an apartment in Dublin. It's called...

NO FRENCH, BRAZILIAN, CZECH, POLISH, ETC

stay tuned!

Well like, then it has nowt to do with a landlord, its the people who live there looking for someone with whom to share their home. It's a different kettle of fish.
