Good news

September 17th, 2009

At last there is some good news from the home front.

First of all, I’m delighted to see that there was a full turnout by Fianna Fail for the debate on NAMA.

But the most exciting news is the Dublin Transport Authority has finally integrated the bus and Luas services.

Judging by the crowds, it seems to be a popular move?

    If you can’t laugh you’d have to cry.

    I walked by the crash scene last night at around 8:30 pm. People were still there scratching their head and taking snapshots. Something eye-catching always happens back home when you go abroad, doesn’t it?

    Liv – Well, at least they can’t blame me for that one.  Doubtless, they’ll try though.

    I love your angle on it.

    Who is the statue of ?

  8. Grandad FRANCEon 17 Sep 2009 at 7:12 pm

    Susan – It is quite a nice angle, isn’t it?  Though I don’t think the Luas is supposed to bend quite that much?

    TT – That’s Daniel O’Connell who was named after the street where his statue is.  Not to be confused with Daniel O’Donnell who is just a twat.

    I think it’s safer to flash a pair of ‘stars & stripes’ tattoed knockers from underneath your burka in Kabul, than travel on the feckin LUAS.
    Statistically speaking.

    I think the statue is of the Last Honest Banker, obviously it is a very old statue…

    Is O’Connell’s statue not black?
    Isn’t that the public toilets man or some other worthy?

    the statue is one William Smith O’Brien, whoever the fuck he is. O’Connell is at the bridge, full of bullet holes from the 16 skirmish.

    Smith O’Brien is one of those names that looms at you out of A Level history.
    He stands in front of the Luas wires as you look up the street towards the spike.

    Ah yes.  My mistake.  O’Connell is the one surrounded by tarts with wings.  Yer man doesn’t have them.  Maybe he’s an eighteenth centuary Luas engineer?
