# Dublin's latest landmark:

More on the real Spike here. To cut a long story short, Dublin (Ireland) is getting a piercing, a 120m stud shot through the middle of O'Connell St. Just the thing to catch those SAS paratroopers next time they come after the GPO!

# a wee bit more serious...
during the 1916 Easter Uprising, the ringleaders held out in the GPO, until the bastard Protestant English captured them and shot them. Half the folk songs in Ireland now have some reference to those brave IRA heroes in the GPO...

That is, and always has been, my reaction to "the troubles in ireland", i'm afraid.

# the only sensible reaction
that's all I know about it, just enough to let me get away in time.

# Dubliners are bound to come up
with some sarky name for it. the statue of Molly Malone is known as The Tart With the Cart, the water statue of Anna Livia is either the Whore in the Sewer or The Floozy in the Jacuzzi etc etc etc

# according to my
ever-so-funny-dublin-tour-bus-driver the Molly Malone one is also known as the Dish with the Fish. Apparently.

I spent New Years Eve in Dublin with my new wife passed out on the bed pissed next to me whilst I read about Irish History in the Rough Guide to Ireland. Aah married life.

# the stump...
... in the dump.
Other landmarks include "the prick with the stick" (James Joyce) and "the hags with the bags" (The Shoppers)
I've been living here for 3 years now, and never cease to be amazed by how _a few_ people really try to live up to every Irish joke you can think of...

# tell me about it...
I'm sick of pubs, and that's it when it comes to social life.

# Thats why most people I know leave...
Although not from Dumpland myself. From the 'other' part of Ireland as the dubs say (ie everywhere else in Ireland but dunpland)
move to the country...its much more fun and more to do...and they actually speak 'English" instead of Dumplandese....Know the Story, Bud?
