    Thanks, I'm glad... I have a few more too.

    Sneak in and rob some for me. :)
    (his meat is a little that way too).

    That's how we have Burdocks here.... because of bad meat on the Russian battleship Potemkin..... Mr Burdock was one of the mutineers so I heard.... then he legged it to Ireland.
    Is that parliament st.looking down to caple st.?

    Well spotted! The photographer was probably standing on that balcony outside City Hall.
    Are they all the same car in that pic.? Well the four in foreground.

    I wouldn't say so... I think there were only a few car models back then.

    Lets go back to 1929 now.....

    Janey I guessed that right but took my orietation from point of view of standing across the road from Conways looking towards O'connell st then onto where Fibbers is (or ivy rooms(la Mirage downstairs,smurfland before that again!) for the older among us).

    Get off the ramp! that's what the bouncers would say if you weren't getting in and they wanted you to move along. Friend of mine got into an awful lotta trouble for one night there way back...dodgy hooker, dodgy room rates and INLA...a whole lotta trouble came outta that equation. Did you ever work with Conor O'Sullivan?

    The name doesn't mean a thing, but I've worked with hundreds of doormen over the year's & La Mirage was such a long time ago.

    One of the lads from way back then is fronting the door of Tamagos now!.

    A bloke i used to work with owned the land where the white building is now.It used to be a tailor's shop but it was burnt down by people looking for protection money.Next door to it was a healthfood shop called Nature's Grace which according to him indulged in some bizzarre practises with thier food!

    And in 1975 (do you know whose funeral?)

    drumcondra park

    Fairview Park 1954. The flood waters are receding... during the height (or depth?) of that flood my father took me in a boat around the roads of East Wall. Just look at the Tolka... looks to be ready to flood again!

    Faiviewflood1954.jpg

    city centre

    Thought I'd throw this one in. It's a very rare pic of the flag of the Republic flying above the GPO. Pic taken during the height of the fighting, Easter Week 1916.
