: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)

If you lump it all together
Well, youve got a recipe for a get-along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true
You know, you know..

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the punters and all its got
Keep it stiring for a hundred years or more
and Turn out JC recipe’s by the score

daggers in the fires
Nita and the lulu’s
We had the sgt and the chuckles
A long time ago (its true)
But then it really didnt matter
What chatter you choose
No no no

Mick and bunny faithful
And everyone whos graceful
You know the living could be tasteful
Why dont we all get together in a JC lovin machine
Id better call up the has beens
Its only fair you add ugoooo
You know, you know..

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world and all its got
Keep it stiring for a hundred years or more
and Turn out JC recipe’s by the score

btw I heard he’s been demoted to Corporal now.
It seems he’s been tampering with his uniform.
Pink doesn’t work so well on the parade ground . :lol:

Pretentious… Moi? 8)

Anyroad.. I went with the second option, though at times it is borderline – what with some of the silly stuff nowadays.
I think it would be most odd of me to say Absolutely NOT, for if that were the case I could be wearing all manner of hilarious stuff – A fedora on top of a yellow cardigan on top of blue hose on top of green platforms for instance.. Hmm… then again :-k .

Surely to TOTALLY dismiss the fashion of the current time or any time (eg any of the various “Retro” looks) would be a curious peculiarity , no?
