A haunted house would be great. Spectral occurences are usually accompanied by a marked drop in temperature which could be harnessed by a suitably designed device to generate electricity and save on the power bills.

I'd love to see your pitch on Dragons Den for that one!

Trouble is you might need a demon to drop the temperature in the first place.

Estates I can understand, if they go to pot, but why would anyone just abandon a detached house FFS? Do they believe in ghosts or something?

Mind you, having said that, back in the 60s there were several large abandoned houses in Wimbledon, although it seems unbelievable now when the same kind of houses sell for 10 million. We used to play in them as kids.

For your viewing pleasure Mr Hoot:

Irish Ghost Estates

Be careful about that. 300,000 houses lying empty in Ireland, including 200 'ghost estates'

The RoI has a long way to go yet. The price of a pint in an average pub in Dublin is still near the £6 mark.

Stab city, nice!

Shhhhhh, don't tell him.

Is the bailout going to be a one-off, or an annual event?

Seems like the Irish are ruling out a rise in their corporation tax, which is one of the lowest in Europe and the reason they attract a lot of big companies. However I don't think the Germans etc will be happy if they don't, and I don't think Ireland are in a position to rule out anything.

I hope they don't come crashing down too much as my Dad owns a lovely house over in Dublin and was worth a few bob.
Probably only worth £20 now !

Yes, tell him if he gives me £20, I'll take it off his hands

Well I'm thinking holiday home in all truth. Beautiful country.

I only know Cork and Dublin. Where would anyone recommend near the sea for 150k Euros

You could always go for an Irish cottage

What does this mean for the price of Guinness?

[Troll]

I doubt you'll be able to get anything substantial for 150E.
