Around the begining of December, myself and herself were having a quiet drink
in our local hotel. After a while an elderly couple came and sat near us. We chatted
and they seemed very nice. They told me that they wanted to move down the coast but they were unable to sell their house. At one stage he said "If I could only get what we paid for it!"

Buying another round of drinks and thinking like a weasel, I braved "What did ya pay for it so?"
"€38k" he replied. I offered him €40k (half joking) "Give us €5k today" and the rest in the new year.

right, thing is, 1 he hasnt e-mailed me since the 8th of December and
2 where is Carrickstown as its not showing on our Google earth v1.1?
