18 worrying signs that the Celtic Tiger is back

RAARRRRRRR.

1. Nobody can afford anywhere to live

DailyEdge DailyEdge

2. Even MiWadi is priced at gourmet levels

Enda Boland Enda Boland

3. And you can get stuck in a yacht jam

4. Probably on your way to buy this

5. Parking your helicopter is a total ‘mare

6. Gerald Kean and Lisa Murphy are a thing again

Mark Stedman / Photocall Ireland Mark Stedman / Photocall Ireland / Photocall Ireland

Goss.ie Goss.ie

7. Conversations like this are a reality

8. Supermarkets are actually raising prices to attract customers

9. But look, a rising tide lifts all boats

Irish Independent Irish Independent

10. Even the graffiti is middle-class now

richiemccormack richiemccormack

11. The headlines would raise your blood pressure

Lovin Dublin Lovin Dublin

12. *throbbing*

13. The world is in love with Ireland again. We’re even on Countdown.

14. Dublin’s giant new ‘Nespresso Boutique’ doesn’t sell coffee…

… it sells ‘Grands Crus’.

15. Not that you’d be drinking them anyway. What is this, 2007?

16. Even the smallest purchases will send you to the cash machine

17. Oh.

18. But on the plus side, at least small businesses are taking advantage of the recovery

Enjoy it everyone!

    What! I picked up a Terrys Choc Orange for a euro in Spar. Although it was a Spar in Cabra, Celtic Tiger was never let roam there.

    I could care less. I’m much more concerned about families and others sleeping rough due to not being able to afford rent or mortgage, not a fecking chocolate orange.
