Arnotts window displays

spurious

Anyone else notice them - most of them have overturned chairs and broken plates etc. and then you come to this window (at least you did last night...)

Good advertising imo.. More memorable than just a window with clothes models.. What it means however I have no idea, something to do with passion perhaps???

Hmmm, strange one alright. Maybe it's meant to be symbolic in some way. Like, she's laying on the table, legs wide open and up in the air waiting to be treated like a turkey, i.e. given a good stuffing! [Sid James laugh] - "Yah, yah, yah!"[/Sid James laugh]

Okay, okay, I'll get me coat!

That's excellent! Good display, very po-mo, but no doubt someone's been on to Mr. Gerry Ryan about it.

I don't spend much time in Dublin to be honest xzanti but I do think that the shops should have more of a Christmas theme going on, I mean thats the general idea of Christmas anyway. I've seen some shop window displays and you wouldn't think they had done anything to celebrate Christmas except these "designer" or "trendy" themes. They look like crap to me anyway.:(

Has anyone seen the window of Brown Thomas lately... Its like a Halloween theme.. Witches etc... Weird

I done all my xmas shopping yesterday

Not one assistant on the tills wished me a Merry Xmas when I was paying till I

did it.

One assistant nearly fainted when I wished her a merry xmas

Christmas spirit is dead.

Evident in the window displays
