Thats not half as distracting as the one outside the Hugh Lane.
Slow, rythmic pelvic movements. No wonder I was late this morning
Is she meant to look like a prostitute? I drove past one night and it’s a little startling. It would be better if they were hidden around the city like the one by the Hugh Lane, where they were a bit more unexpected than on the veldt that is O’Connell St.
Great pictures, but you can see from the picture of O’Connell Bridge how big an impediment Trinity was to the Wide Street Commissioners. Two wide streets leading from what was then and now the city’s most important bridge…and both blocked from reaching further south by Trinners.
A lot of Dublin Tourism stock footage used several times in the same video… Great looking place though, Dublin – it seems!!!!
I’m delighted with the effort put in this year… though the collective climaxing over the lights on Grafton st caught me a little by suprise. It’s nice. I know it’s by the people who light the Eiffel Tower but the similarities end there! (btw, when are they lighting the Poolbeg Chimneys).
Personally, I think Henry St, North Earl St, Talbot St has the southside licked. Less garish and more classy than the electric boudoir of our main shopping thoroughfare :p And Johnson’s Court wins hands down. It’s so cozy to have the strings of simple lights just a few feet above the head. I love taking shortcuts that way to the DART nowadays.
Oh, and as a recent patron of Messrs… it’s as nice inside with those lights.But where are the christmas lights on the cranes this year? Is it just me or are there less?
It’s a crazy street to drive along, I’m sure. People weaving in and out of traffic. And I’m as bad as everyone else.. The central median is so low in comparison to the road that this isn’t remotely suprising. It’s an awful one too with the number of buses and trucks up and down it. By all means make our main street pretty but i think that aside, it’ll never be somewhere to go to as a destination in itself.
I think large-scale exhibitions in the central square there are a fine idea. It’s fairly soulless the rest of the time and -seeing the space is itself a feature of the museum- having it empty sort of presses the museum to the walls around it and leaves it feeling sort of incomplete or temporary.

Elsewhere on Westmoreland St…great to see another quality shop appear. The former Barnies Coffee shop (god I miss those muffins)
Apparently there’s one in Clery’s. Best coffee and muffins in the ciry. It was too good value to last.

Much higher – 20-30 storeys. They’ll probably go for 35, the IGS will go bananas coz the view from the jacks window in TCDs 1937 Reading room will be compromised, while Norris is sittin there doin the Crosaire, or some such piffle.
LOL!
Oooooooh! It’s so tacky!
Was an actual sculpture not considered instead? Incidentally, when the Floozie is brought back to, we should start a brutal statue of Dublin tour. There’s a statue of the Virgin Mary by Broadstone as well.
