Re: Re: college green/ o’connell street plaza and pedestrians

Yes it’s a trophy isn’t it – I couldn’t put my finger on the term. It’s a breathtaking display of decadence and ostentation consuming prime urban land at the ceremonial heart of the capital/country with a manicured lawn. Of course the ingenuity of the whole concept is that it is just that – a manicured lawn; so completely unassuming and reticent that it couldn’t possibly be working towards such nefarious or underhand ends :p
And I absolutely love it – feck off gunter with your manky students! Off to the Bashery with you.

Completely agree about the planters outside the Berkeley notjim – I like to think of them as a subtle piss-take, just to avoid the mortification that they’re actually serious.
