I wonder does he still own Oscar Wilde’s family home (Moytura House) in Cong, Co Sligo which he bought a decade or more ago.

We’re all different, but we’re all the same. I collect stamps and Bono collects historical mansions.

I can’t believe he’s looking at this place as a personal residence of any kind, he must have something cooking in that dear brain of his to have it as a museum or historical center or something to do with Yeats. (which begs the question: didn’t WB ever visit anyone in a two bedroom semi-detached?) But whatever he has in mind, I hereby volunteer to put one of those disused cottages on the property to very good use, and I will leave my binoculars at home…no, really, I swear!

ANOTHER home?! Sigh. I always thought a country estate in Ireland was the one thing he needed for his collection. I’m sure it’s beautiful there. I’d rather have this than the NYC pad and I bet it’s cheaper!
Yes, Adam is the dorky one. I don’t know where all the posh stuff comes from. Maybe stuck up old man posh, but not cool posh.

Ha! 3 million for that house? You can’t even see the most important parts…the kitchen and the baths! Hmf. It isn’t even landscaped. The appraisers must be Irish historians.
However, you can fit all of U2’s recording equipment inside it. Is it wired for electricity?
