The banks spent years giving out money like it was going out of fashion and developers were by and large gamblers who had no money themselves and were out to make a killing at the expense of the ripped off Irish house buyer.

It is figured that house prices will drop by 40% in total before things get any better, good news for a wannabe buyer, bad news for those who have paid €400k for a house that will soon be worth €250k and certainly bad news for the developers who can't make the repayments and will end up, for the rest of their lives, paying back huge fines and penalties on top of regular repayments and interest to Banks stupid enough to give them the money in the first place.

Robomow

Normally when I get back from any few days away around this time of year I am greeted by a jungle in my back garden, which means that even before the bags are unpacked I have to tackle the grass. There is something about an unkept garden that brings me out in a rash!

This year was different though compliments of my new best friend "timmy the robot" more commonly known as Robomow.

Timmy entered my life a few weeks ago and since then has completley transformed it.

Ok it may well be just a remote control grass cutter to many people but to me he's my new "VBF". Timmy is the size of your average King Charles and come with his own little recharging dock in the back garden.

Every other day, like clockwork, he pops out and mows the lawn gobbling it up completley leaving no pesky grass to be bagged or disposed of. Not only that but Timmy also sucks up any dead leaves and mulches them up for refertilisation.

While some people talk to their plants and trees I talk to Timmy, constantly prasing him for a job well done, naming him might sound sad but at least i'm only naming my Robomow, unlike a lot of other men who are in the habit of naming their own personal performing appendages, if you get my drift.
