Saint Simeon the Stylite faces greatest challenge yet.

He’s giving the Spire its blessing, God knows its going to need all the help it can get.

These pictures are in-spire-ing.

I think the statue of Father Matthew is trying to exorcise O’Connell Street of all its mingers!

He was, after all, the founder of the Irish Temperance movement. He wouldn’t like loads of alco’s hanging around the Spike I guess. Funny, the words “Irish” and “Temperance” aren’t really synonomous!

Nah, If Matt Talbot was still around he would be rallying around the troops – every wino in Dublin chained to the spike.

Aside: Vlad Tepes, and his Son, Vlad Dracul could have used this kind of technology in Sighisoara and the surrounding Tranalvania Alps. Those old wooden impaling rods were awful messy yokes for sinking into the mud.

“Left a bit, right a bit. Gunner Milligan, put that down. We’ll never win the war if you don’t hurry up”

Matt the Thrasher plays the Savoy.

‘Bout time ye’s cleaned this Kip up’ you lazy idle ignorant bastards…..how about that one.

He’s missing a few fingers too on his mauler, shot off by gunner eyed Pierce in the 1916 rebellion no doubt. Have they ever been found I wonder so as too stick em back on. Maybe someone is wearing them round their necks as relics…..poor sods.

…..it’s an awful bloody statue is’nt it. Could have had those robes more flowing like in a Hollywood Charlton Heston epic. Pity the sculptor was never aware of Bernini, that great dramatic sculptor of the Baroque.

“Careful Now. Up with this sort of thing!”

Oi! Green Party – sod off!
