Student: I Want a Free House
Block Clocking:Irish students have a legendary reputation for being as tight as a coiled spring - but one academic is taking scrounging to the next level.
Not for him the occasional fag or the cadged pint. Nope, Shane Murphy wants a free house.
How does he plan to get it ? Well he's built a website containing 2500 blocks each of which can be sponsored by companies for €100 each. 2500 blocks x 100 euro equals a quarter of a million euro which in theory equals Shane's free house.
Simple as that, except it's not. With interest rates on the rise, most Irish people can't afford to pay their own mortgage nevermind someone else's, so customers might be in short supply - meaning Shane could find it hard to get his free house - in fact, he may have to settle for a house of cards.
