I saw two showers in those photos UJ, one very spacious with its own built in seat.

Re: House for Sale on Private Island

I have my own private Island in Kerry, it's a land Island and very peaceful, the only problem I have is when I go out to the Village pub at night I find it a bit confusing getting back to my bed.

Re: House for Sale on Private Island

I can't find my way from the living room to the bathroom after a few Whiskeys, let alone through that maze.

There would only be one thing for it - stay in the pub all the time. Oh well, you have to make sacrifices.

Re: House for Sale on Private Island

It is quite a nice house, but it's slightly smaller than my West Wing, and I'd hate to downsize to such a bijou house.

I did stay in a Village pub all night in my younger days Jim, I had taken too much poteen and I fell asleep on a sofa, the landlady locked up and put a blanket over me, next morning she came down with a full breakfast, tomatoes, sausages, eggs, rashers, black and white pudding and fried bread, I turned green at the sight of it, my stomach was churning, I made my apologies and left, leaving a fiver on the bar for the breakfast. I crawled back to the hotel to face the wife, that's when the real action started.
