And finally, our favourite piece of estate agent's guff:

A property like this comes on to the open market but once in a lifetime and this may be your `blue moon' opportunity of acquiring a large private house married to such a convenient and desirable location within the award winning seafaring town of Kinsale, renowned for it charm, beauty and gourmet delights.

Sounds idyllic . . . in fact, it's a big plain house on the outskirts of Kinsale that is for sale at £320,000 through Bowe Auctioneers.
