In Galway, finding a place to rest your ass is hard...


Kerry and Tim have been on a mission to find a place to live in their new home city, Galway, Ireland. And a 'mission' it is. The rental market in Perth is mental, but nothing compared to what Kez and her beef eater are faced with each week.

There is a rental paper that comes out weekly for free, but if you like, you can buy it the day before. And, EVERYBODY does. They line-up in masses, as if they were buying tickets to a Nirvana reunion concert complete with Kurt Cobain propped up on a stool at the front.

Then, Kerry and Tim truddle off and inspect several houses. People interview them. Then they get text messages saying "Sorry, we've found someone - good luck looking though!"

It's pretty soul destroying, I imagine.

Well, Miss Kerry has to keep herself happy somehow. So she just simply texts back to thank them for the opportunity:

"No worries! By the way, I heard the people you decided on like staring at you when you sleep".

Word.
