:lol: Yeah Dawny, it is kinda odd innit?

Well.. it has been (and still is for many) a cause for much debate here since it was .. umm.. erected. It’s officially called The Spire , though most Dubliners call it The Spike (pronounced Spoike of course), and is quite a feat of construction and sculpture that has won many awards.

It’s curious reflective qualities can be quite beautiful, and in some way I suppose it symbolises a new, cosmopolitan, secular Ireland – whilst also placing the importance of Irish History into current aspirations.
The site on the main thoroughfare – O’Connell Street is just in front of the GPO (General Post Office), the headquarters for The Easter Rising of 1916, a monumental event in Irish History. It’s also where Nelson’s Pillar once stood, a symbol of British Rule that was blown up by the I.R.A. in 1966.
So, as I said, in many ways it represents a new aspirational Ireland.. surviving the nightmare of it’s past, yet signifying it’s importance.

(Sorry, you asked 8-[ lol)

:wink:

No, thank you, I did ask :D
Your City is lovely Sgt and I never tire of hearing about your history and we will visit again very soon :D

I thought he was referring to pikey?

No, what he is saying is Tel showed no response to Pikey’s post (presuming he’s actually read it), yet saw fit to have a bicker at Dawny, and Pete being pete is pointing out the alleged hypocrisy of said act.

I think…. :lol:
