Irish students scumbags??

More knuckle-draggers than scumbags, more having absolutely no regard for other people than being malicious; but what are ya gonna do?

btl scumbags is more apt! i suggest the students squat in the digs.

Poor parenting leading to individuals who in too many cases lack any semblance of discipline or social responsibility... because nobody demanded it of them.
Having been pampered and indulged from the cradle they think the world exists merely to serve their every whim or pleasure.
Yes ,many of them will eventually (be forced to ) grow out of it and become upstanding citizens but the point is they should have grown out of this immature state of social dishevelment long before now.
At home and abroad many Irish 'students' are an embarrassing disgrace as well documented on many continents.

Had this trouble before as a Landlord.  Really wanted to kick the living sh1t out of them. Took pictures of the damage to the house, including the discarded porn collection and sent copies to both their parents and their new employers.

A friend has a beautiful secluded lodge near Killarney, top spec, just a fabulous place...he now refuses to take any Irish guests.  Too many of them wreck the place, he just doesn't take a chance with them any more and relies upon Overseas Guests.

How did you get on ozy did they compensate you,my feelings are the same as yours initially I wanted to do the same to them. I  am well out of pocket,but I have reported the incidents to the gardai so it is on file.

I was thinking of writing to the parents as well.

That " discarded porn collection " was their way of paying you,they knew you well,no wonder they complained about the spy hole.

Ozymandius does reveal a lot about himself and its not pretty.

His first reaction is a desire to inflict violence but his nervousness and cowardice kicks in.
His second reaction is to sneakily try to get them in trouble with their employers.

Its hard to be sympathetic with landlords,they get huge rent always come up with an excuse for keeping the deposit.

How do you expect a group of students to behave,they are untidy,ye surely knew that when ye rented it out,more than likely for some inflated rent.

Poor Norma , shows herself up AGAIN , sent copies to both their parents , AND to their EMPLOYERS , pray tell Norma ,how did they become EMPLOYEES overnight , another load of rubbish from the biggest liar and GOSSIP on here , remember your INTERNATIONAl business ..The only INTERNATIONAL business in history ran from the Irish Forum  . 

I think the friend with the secluded lodge near Killarney is another figment of his fertile imagination.

Fgs Wildman does not believe anyone has a friend, which speak volumes for the man himself

He has one although its probably one he is ashamed off,a Greek scholar and a sums graduate,the Loan Masked Man.

What a lot of baloney and points scoring nonsense from the usual suspects.

His first reaction is a desire to inflict violence but his nervousness and cowardice kicks in.  Simple fact is you give someone a hiding, deserved or not, it's you that is in trouble.  No point going down that road.

His second reaction is to sneakily try to get them in trouble with their employers. I wanted to shame and damage them, they had behaved like animals and I was left to pay for and clean up their mess.  No harm in letting their Managing Partner at Stokes Kennedy whatchamacallit, or wherever it was they had just joined, know exactly what sort of uncouth barbarian they had just hired.  As I recall, I also copied their Dean of Studies on the memo to congratulate him on what fine young men he was turning out.

I think the friend with the secluded lodge near Killarney is another figment of his fertile imagination.

I wish, I wish, it wasn't true,  but it is. Any Irish people who enquire are now told, sorry, fully booked.

How did you get on ozy did they compensate you, Not at all, just all blaming each other.  Just had to grin and bear it and have a lash back at them on the only way I could think of at the time.  They were Pigs, my mistake for letting them in in the first place.  Never again.  Lesson learned.

Ozymandius the man who thinks the word Oriental is racist,the man who scours this forum looking for anything he may deem racist,the man who when he was called a "" Mick " screamed the place down looking for bans is now condoning and approving of discriminatory behaviour.

Ozymandius is naturally against racial profiling unless its done by a friend of his or against his own.

I've long said it,people like Ozymandius hate their own and love the strange.

You repeat yourself ad nauseum on a daily basis, you need to come up with a few new lines to freshen up the act.

My friends business decision came as a result of his experiences over a large sample size. He simply had enough.  German guests would leave the place better than they found it, he found a significant % of Irish families would wreck the place.  He felt he had no option.  Up to you whether you approve of or condone his decision,  I have indicated neither, am merely relaying the story.

Thankfully my properties were out of the price range of students except that one time when I went out of my way to do a deal with them  So thankfully, I never had to discriminate against them going forward, they were simply unable to afford the rent.

Do you condone his decision ?

I find it a terribly sad reflection of my own people.

Many "landlords" would rank right up there for me in terms of people I least admire.

The use of the word "scumbag" may be very popular today but it's reprehensible term.

Having a number of said students in my household I can vouch for rents that are outrageous, a lot of cash-in-hand insisted upon, overcrowding, little done in terms of repairs and maintenance and a general acceptance by the landlords that modest standards of accommodation are not required such is the overheated demand.

God help the needy when it comes to rental accommodation.......

I'm sure you are right, RA, there are bad eggs on both sides of the fence

Ozymandius doing a fair impression of either Mark Kililea or Michael Howard.

A friend of my Father works in security on the University Campus in Limerick, the official University Campus accomodation, 3k per term so pretty well-heeled for Limerick! He said that 99% of it is down to drink and people not holding it well. It is a regular sight out there to see windows smashed and TVs/Couches thrown off Balconies. It's all done while people are drunk. Some have been thrown out of accommodation for the more serious damage.

Apparently any verbal abuse he has suffered, he said about 80% of them come back and apologise the next time they see him.

I think much of the reason why Irish people don't clean rented holiday accomodation is that they spend the week on a bender and wake up hungover the morning they're leaving with the place a sty, there simply isn't the time to clear up.

A very racist thread title imo.
Could u imagine the furore if the thread was titled "African student scumbags"

Not really. It's the in-group licence.
Blacks can use n/n/g/g/e/r and homosexuals can use '****' with general impunity.   
Outsiders using these terms ,unless in a controlled context, risk being excoriated.
So-Irish people can severely criticise aspects of Irish life -but if outsiders do so-many choose to circle the wagons and bristle with defensive indignation.
Strange oul' world but, as the fella said, there you go.

Excellent retort vibiant And so very true.

*Vubiant ffs im half asleep today typos everywhere.

There you go !
Can't even use the term 'REEUQ' in reverse even in a neutral explanatory context.
Yet you can sign up for a course/degree in REEUQ Theory at many universities.
A laughable though sad and sobering indication of the communal craziness at large in Western society.

Very well put, Vubiant

Embarrassing attempt by Borneo trying to play the Racist card.

Think Neill got it bang on,a rake of drink the night before would unfortunately put cleaning way down a lot of peoples priorities the next day.
Can see the disappointment with people disrespecting your property but scumbag is a little strong accolade. Met scumbags galore myself today,1st one was what looked like a 9 year old Roma child giving me a written note that her family was in a dire predicament with the hunger.
No 2 came in the form of a fellow offering his services for E40 to remove all the grass and debris that was alledgedly playing havoc with the gutters. I declined on behalf of my elderly mother,a later inspection of the god love us guttering was the most pristine i came across.
Two prize scumbags.

I had a theory in Uni if a girl invited you back to hers for some and you went back and the place was dirty then leg it no matter how attractive she was. If she could not keep her room tidy then the chances were downstairs was not clean either.

we are not talking abut a mere lack of 'cleaning'.  We are talking about wanton destruction of property, doors hanging off hinges, furniture smashed up and burnt in the fire, piss and **** everywhere etc etc etc.  Animals.

If anything scumbag is far too nice a word.

Lapsy thinks someone destroying your property and causing 1000s of pounds worth of damage is less offensive than a poor little foreign  girl handing you a note asking or a few pence?  FFS...I've heard everything now.

Tis alright boss, twas da demon drink that did it   Is it any wonder the country is in the state it is?

'twas the hypocrisy card I was playing.

I believe we have the right to discriminate,I believe in racial profiling.

You however are the forum seeker outer of alleged examples of racism.
You have a history of accusing posters of being racist,this is mostly done to suppress other views.

You dodged a reasonable question as poorly as the most inept politician.

Do ya want me to take out me hankie or what,who gave them the keys? An occupational hazard anyway,people cannot afford houses and hard to feel too sorry for a person that has x number,goverment should intervene and provide at least small houses for people that can't afford them instead of the shambles that is in place at the moment.

You don't have to remind us that you are Racist, you have made that very clear over the years.

people cannot afford houses and hard to feel too sorry for a person that has x number,

Fkin 'ell...Lapsy the downtrodden Socialist....

Norma , now a landlord ,whatever next , she can be whatever pops into her head if you ask me , remember her little sortie on her friends Yacht , she went missing for 3 days , came back and told us she was abroad .  The Yacht must have been berthed in Carlingford Lough . Now this ,what ever next ,maybe she was a consultant with NASA . Pity is a word cropping up everytime I read one of her post.

A landlord, wow!  What a claim to fame.  Imagine... I own some property...such an unusual asset class!

Wonky's grasp of geography remains consisteyly non extisent!  You'd wonder how the lad manages to tie his own shoelaces!  Imagine going trough life as a village idiot!

Norma , you're slipping ,  you fail to see the irony of Carlingford Lough ,Yachts are usually berth in exotic places ,places you have to FLY to get too . You managed to get to your friends and back within 3 days ffs . Pity is the word ,give it up ffs you are becoming boring .If someone put up a thread saying they had climbed MT Everest , you be on saying you had as well and both you and your FRIEND ? had roast chesnuts in camp before acending the summit.

Now that Ozymandius has morphed into Rigsby expect less complaints about racism.

With Rocketfingers occupying the attic and Ozymandius the basement Miss Jones is in no danger.

I've climbed Kilimanjaro if that is any good to you, Wonks?

God help the poor man , its PITIFUL .

Talking of Kilimanjaro -a  lively Derby outsider ?

A fair few young lads round here have got sponsorship to climb Kilimanjaro,they don't actually climb it they walk up as far as they can.

Ozymandius has obviously come across this somewhere so in true Walter fashion he has it that he climbed it.

Quite correct, it is more of a long walk, no technical ability required.

The last day to the summit is very hard work though.  Especially if you have bad weather.  Minus 15 and hail, plus you are climbing, sorry, walking upwards on scree in the dark (to reach the top by sunrise) which is disconcerting in itself.  Many people can't handle the altitude and don't make it (apparently roughly 20% if the weather is good, more if weather bad)

Norma give it over ffs mate , seek help for this , I'm sure you have a FRIEND in the Counciling department of some hospital or other , give the man a shout , you have become the laughing stock of the forum , even your pals ain't backing you anymore .  Its got badly out of hand , seek help asap theres a good fellow..

Now that Ozymandius has morphed into Rigsby
