1, 2, 3 – SLUMP!

  • by

It’s official, not that I haven’t known it for some time anyway, but the ESRI have finally sent chills down the spine of every estate agent and recent property investor in Ireland. C’mon lads we’ve been telling you for ages! Yes, houses in Ireland are massively overvalued, yes supply will now ease off to try… Read More »1, 2, 3 – SLUMP!

Equality…

…somebody wrote the rule book 50 years ago and never bothered releasing a second edition!

Luciano Pavarotti RIP

In the early hours of this morning, opera legend Luciano Pavarotti lost his battle with cancer and passed away. Pavarotti, who landed in most people’s homes for the first time during the Italia 90 World Cup when he and Josep Carreras and Plácido Domingo formed The Three Tenors to sing the anthem of the World… Read More »Luciano Pavarotti RIP
