moving statues at it again

paddy smith · 10-07-2009 10:28AM #1

apparently the one at the top of paddy browns road and another one in cork have been doing a little jig according to some lulas who have nothing better to do.
i have a feeling bus companies and hotels are behind this scam to get a few tours up and running

Wahey! It's just like the 80s all over again. Now all we need is for a bigger heroin epidimic, the Irish football team to go to the World Cup and Bosco to return to TV and we're set.

Recession = ( more ) moving statues

yes, yes it all make sense now .

The rest of the world will laugh it's f...ing head off as usual

Give me 20 minutes, some water, honey syrup, flour or chocolate syrup, some small tubes and a mini pump and I'll make her cry blood!

Strange how nothing "moves" for years but then they some people decide a tree stump looks like Mary :rolleyes: (because they all know exactly what Mary looked like of course) and now we've got statues moving again! People in this country are insane.

Irish people are nowhere near the crazy that can be witnessed in the United States. We have the Virgin Mary in a tree. They have Michael Jackson

The Dublin Spire sways now and again but dont worry .After a few pints of your favorite tipple , most things usually do

The one on Paddy Brown's Road had a "Gone to lunch, Back in 5mins" sign on it.

Bit of a coincindence the statues moving this year tho - last year it was B&Q, Harvey Norman and TK Max

Its the weather. 1985 the year of moving statues was one of the worst summers on record.

But this has been quite a good summer. Way better than last year and better again than the year before. Unless I'm missing something?

I was born summer of '85; guess the gods weren't too happy with my arrival. :pac:

No, work likes to keep us isolated from the outside world.

i wonder if i took a chance of buying 100 blaas, 100 slices of ham and 5 pound of butter,
cost about 100 euro,
and set up stall beside the grotto selling each hang blaa at 3 quid a pop.

spread the word, the statue at belvedere is dancing

For a 5% cut I'll spread the word far and wide. For 10% I'll spread butter as well.

we could be on to something here?
with the glass gone and the resession, it could be an idea to get the town rocking again.

Nah he's right, it was Luke Wadding. But he was dressed up as Tawdy. I can see how you'd get confused.

I swear I've just seen a statue of Our Lady heading towards the Dunmore Road with a can of spray paint in her hand...and an unbuttered blaa in the other!

Feck it Paddy, we've missed a chance there. There's your wan and all she's looking for was a bit of butter and some ham (I'm theorising here) and she couldn't get it. Now she's going to take out her anger on the walls of the Dunmore Road.

merlante · 10-07-2009 02:36PM

Nothing new re Luke Wadding, I live on the same street and I can tell you that this man is done having bottles of Miller put into his hand. He pulled some youngfella down the steps and bet the **** out of 'em last weekend. The guards came down but sure me man was back up on his pedestal like nothing ever happened... they never noticed his quill still on the ground.

It's times like this I despair of the human race.

Naw, it's human nature....the country is in depression, the world is in recession, there's no end in sight just yet, people are looking to their political leaders for answers and they're getting none, school's out for summer.

divine intervention, your only answer, or another huricane Charlie.!

The blaa idea is a good one though, I fancy one now myself.

Yeah that's what worries me. If it's human nature for groups of people to carry on like this, that makes me despair of the human race! Not to start a theological debate but seeing what you want to see in a tree stump/statue/damp patch on a wall is ridiculous.

Divine intervention at all or is it just a dog's arse? hahahahahahaahahahahaha
