But there’s still a lot of suspicion that wasn’t the building of interest
If you mean the building in Moore Street, Nurse O’Farrell picked it out as the one she walked out of to the British barricade.
It’s also accepted as authentic by the National Graves Association.

What about this? The city council’s Roads Maintenance Division have just laid those studded pavement tiles here in the middle of Temple Bar to help the visually impaired cross the road …
Seems like they’re leading the visually impaired into a pole! 😮

I love that Coke ad – especially as I used to work as a graphic designer using the legendary DPaint, the 16 colour drawing program used.
Amiga A500 memories. Thank you.:)

i have to ask – hot buttered eggs?
I don’t blame you for asking. I’ve wondered about them too. They were neither hot nor buttered, but as I recall they were larger than any other eggs in the shop and were prominently displayed and labled as Hot Buttered Eggs.
One of life’s little mysteries. Unless someone else can add something to it?

The Monument Creamery was one of a small chain of grocery stores in Dublin when I was a lad, very similar to the Liptons or Home & Colonial Stores chains at the time. This is the era before self service. Afraid I have no particular location in my mind, doubtless findeable in Thoms Directory, but they were not particularly milk, cream or ice cream oriented, despite the name. ( Was there one in Talbot St also?)
I’d say we’re of an age. Remember the Big Bear too in Talbot St.
The only Monument Creamery that I remember was the one in Parnell St on that stretch between O’Connell St and Marlborough St — about 3 or 4 doors from O’Connell St.
I never knew them to sell ice cream, but I do remember they sold milk, butter and were well known for their hot buttered eggs. In fact at the time I’m remembering TB patients used to receive a voucher for milk, butter and eggs to be collected free of charge from ‘The Monument’, as we knew it.

Where on O’Connell Street was ‘The Monument Creamery’ does any one know? . . . and was it also an ice-cream parlour?
The only ‘The Monument Creamery’ in that area that I remember was the one just around the corner in Parnell Street, and it wasn’t an ice cream parlour. I think it closed about 1960 or thereabouts.
The curbside panels are downright ugly, destroying the streetscape into the bargain.
Perhaps it would be better if they went back to sandwich boards, and I’m not joking.

any one know how to save movies from u tube
Install Real Player (free) and each time you view a You Tube video you will be presented with an option (just above the video window) of dowloading the clip.
Then download the free FLV Player to view the clips on your own computer.

Is Langrishe Place the narrow street that has some really attractive tall red bricks that were in very poor condition a couple of years back?
As I remember Langrishe Place it had 2 story houses on both sides. If you go into Summerhill from Parnell St it would be the first turn on the left.
At least thats how I remember it. As a kid, nearly 50 years ago, my pals and I used to race our ‘trollies’ down the hill of Langrishe Place and into Summerhill. 🙂
Just to remain on topic I’ll post a pic very soon. 😉 I like this topic. 🙂

Langrishe Place, Yes. . . . but someone got it right on the last page.
Sorry. 🙁 But I saw only a guess at it being in Hill St, which is about a 1/4th of a mile away from Langrishe Place. 🙂

This looks like an old church . . .
I believe that’s at the top of Langrishe Place off Summerhill.:confused:
