    Nice traditional signwriting in Image C…of which ye don’t see much of anymore.

    This is true. ๐Ÿ™‚

    That it is. Note you admit your cheating; darn – should have spotted the phone no. when dubbing out. Between your cheating, and my cock-up, back of the class for both of us ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    Still, it’s nice to be able to get your cigars and tobacco blended while waiting to see the doctor ๐Ÿ˜€

    Is Image B Hume Street / Stephen’s Green? (with the pastiche redevelopment built by Sam Stephenson on the corner)

    Oi! You! GregF – you don’t get off that easy; back of the class for you too – you can’t get away with slyly editing your post subsequently…

    And if that was pastiche by Sam, then he did a mighty fine job… but it’s not ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Aha! Give that man a choc ice.

    Now why have I chosen that view in particular?

    Something to do with JCDecaux? ๐Ÿ˜€ Or misleading road signage?

    I got A & B, but C eludes me. Possibly Temple Bar Square?

    While I’m here:

    (gunter- I’m giving the others a 24 hour head start over you, if you don’t mind. ๐Ÿ˜‰ You could presumably answer this one in your sleep.)

    are we just naming boozers now? P.Ryan of Baggot Street? ๐Ÿ™‚
    I reckon Ha’Penny inn is a good bet though… can’t think of many green pubs

    Cigarettes, reckless driving, and booze? Is the theme: hutton’s triangle of vice? Maslow’s hierarchy of needs? (or would that be hier-archi?) :p

    Lovely 1903 relief. Stumped, however, on that one. In the meantime, here’s three more:

    E

    F

    G

    e and g are too easy….

    Can you clarify the prize fund? Hutton is offering cyber sweeties, I didn’t catch what ctesiphon and manifest were offering.

    I don’t know about other posters, but gunter doesn’t get out of bed for less than virtual candy.

    Can we assume that all legal boundaries have been observed (Rules & Procedures, Vols. 1 – 17, 2008 amended edition) and that the 1903 is within the canals?

    Gunter: always one for the details. From me one may expect, for the correct delivery of answers, and the avoidance of accusations of the dumbing-down of the forum (I’m aghast), a tray of virtual sweets culled from the finest confectioners, intelligently melted, molded, and cooled free of charge, to be e-delivered to the clever recipient at manifesta’s earliest convenience.

    I also top them off with instant ego gratification sauce, if you say something nice about the pictures.

    E: Pearse Street (Beside Luce Hall)
    F: Opposite the Black Church
    G: Dental Hospital

    I think, anyway.

    If I just admire the pictures, can I get the sauce without the sweets? Nice photos!

    Anyway, Paul got E and G (we presume), whilst I know F. I should say, I think F is no longer in situ, though it was there a year ago. I’ll leave it for others to have a go, as you could say I have an unfair advantage regarding that particular location.

    As for mine (which is being called D, I presume), it most certainly is within the canals, and it most certainly is visible from the public highway, though it’s a quiet street. And Yes, it might have been photographed on the same wander as the possible Billy on Cork Street as posted elsewhere recently. Maybe I’ll put up another map showing the cycle route again?

    As for a prize? I’ve been told I give good bike tours, so a chaperoned excursion to the lucky winner, perhaps? (Bicycle to be provided.) Failing that, a plate of coddle, a pint of porter and a wearying disquisition on Dublin in the rare ould times*- take your pick!

    *This, for me, extends back to Grafton Street with cars on it and Wood Quay when it were all just fields (of mud and archaeology).

    Edit: phil- I think you might be onto something. (And hello stranger!)

    Is G the former Richmond Hospital, now a courthouse?

    For C, I’d go with the Ha’penny Bridge Inn as well!

    All correct. Cyber sweeties-a-plenty ๐Ÿ™‚

    And of course the notion was odd or mischief signs – N11 is a mile off course, liqueur/ liquor is misspelt, etc.

    D, E, and Missarchi’s most recent addition have all got me…

    Agree – and it is still en situ, was til last week anyway…
