    Silly girl. Should have waited and saved a fortune like her father told her to.

    And to top it off she is paying interest only!!!!

    And she's blaming the banks for giving her a loan lol!

    Yes Sibley what a great start she has had

    Thanks dopester, from your link. (er, I just popped back to check it and read some more and it seems to have disappeared, or did I just imagine it?, a bit odd. Did you just delete it, or perhaps did the mods? Can't find it in anyone else's post or am I just not seeing it? Mmm, mysterious...)

    It’s all going off bigtime and she’s boosted her career and is now larging it up in more media and (hopefully) laughing all the way to the bank. Here’s a quick sample of what some of them are saying in Eire/Ireland :

    Nemi : “I was down that part of town today, and saw Negative Equity Villas looming above me. Her interview is 22 minutes 30 seconds into this link

    The Morning Show - TV3

    I know this is all sh1te, but its compulsive sh1te. She sounds so rehearsed and superficial, I really wonder what's really going on here. Its vaguely like listening (if anyone can remember it) to that Bank of Ireland ad where the student goes on about 'train tracks are, like, ching ching, bit of cash, know what I mean?', only it goes on for over five minutes. She even says 'know what I mean' at least twice.

    I think she's a bit like Flann O'Brien's fictional savant de Selby. The greatest joy in reading the work of de Selby was to realise, of all the fools in the world, one is not the greatest.”

    Yes, turns out she's already got a lodger - and the lodger's a nudie!!! A nudie lodger running amok in your gaff, omigod, whatever next. And they do hair pulling and screaming! What, in their birthday suits? Oo, very visual, quick, get the cameras out. Hilarious. It's all coming out now, truth will out, warts and all. Fantastic, what a soap opera, this one's going to run and run. You couldn't make it up, it's an absolute classic. And the English are supposed to be eccentric and weird. Oh yeah? Well, that's as maybe but this is right up there, I can see a book and then part 2 about this coming soon. And you could even re enact it all on the radio and telly and youtube, very topical, very funny, very human interest and gossip and all that. Very tragi-comedy satire in all the best traditions, full of grotesques and loonies and hidden truth peeping out in dribs and drabs. Little cliff hangers to keep you waiting for the next instalment, building the tension and interest. Then what, a big denouement at some point? Followed by fall out and yet more characters jumping on the gravy train bandwagon. Keep it coming everyone, I look forward to the next instalment.
