Moving to the sticks (1 Viewer)

[rettucs]

Or at least out of/far (ish) away from Dublin.

Anyone have any thoughts of doing this? I'm currently 60/40 on it, specifically to Kilkenny. Already started looking at gaffs there. The idea being that theres 10 years left on the mortgage on the gaff in Dublin but there's enough paid off to be able to sell up, clear the rest of the mortgage and buy something outright, or close to outright. And, get a bigger gaff and live closer to the city.

In a lot of ways its a no-brainer. The only possible spanner in the works could be the work situation. I'm currently fully remote and will be for as long as I'm in this company. But its unlikely this company will be around a year from now. It'll either go to shit, or get bought out.

anyways, anyone else ever think of doing anything similar?

The bang of J.M. Synge off that.

I've never seen a farmed goat. I know two people who owned donkeys, only one owned a cart. The grandparents did have geese. Geese are total pricks.

Also, around 02:35: See! There's been McMansions around for ages! Em.....

the woman and the kids at the start are very good looking. The woman is obviously fairly affluent but the dress of the kids suggests they are not. Simple times but its not long since some of those people have left us (possibly some still even with us)

Getting this back on track. Have found the perfect house. Just need to see if I can get it to work out.

But since starting this thread I am convinced that I am done with Dublin 100%.

I can't believe we've gotten to page 13 on this, and I've forgotten the phrase we used back in laois to describe the ultima thule of 'the sticks'...

'where the crow ate the man'

That’s a great phrase!

 

[JohnnyRaz]

That’s a great phrase!

my addition to the 2023 resolutions list is to use this more often.

along with 'a ball of hair' to describe something vague and poorly defined.

That’s honestly brilliant news, and it’s going to work out.
It has to, this thread l’ll turn in to a property version of the horn thread.
