This weirdo in Kilkenny has his garden full of Elvis paraphernalia and gnomes dressed as Elvis. He's always dressed as Elvis too.

I'm gonna take a leap and say he's an Elvis impersonator

We have one in our office!

It has been known to startle visitors and scare small children.

I'll take some pics and upload them later this evening so, just so you folk not familiar with the road know what we're on about

As previous posters have said, the owners must be a right laugh lol.

A house on the road from Ballyhale into Thomastown used to have a Totem pole in the garden

I remember that:D

Used to travel up and down to Dublin a lot 12 years ago, before the motorway. There was this house somewhere along the way, a little back off the road, that had a figure of a man waving at it's gate. At Christmas it was dressed like Santa, it was mad:D. I was gutted when I saw they'd taken it down..

Borris Post office had a jacuzzi outside it yesterday.

TAXPAYERS had to shell out €25,000 to cover the cost of a one-day fair dating back to the 16th Century.

While local authorities around the country are facing huge cuts in government funding to make up for the shortfall in the collection of the household charge, Carlow County Council had to pay out thousands to clean up after the Borris Fair, one of annual highlights of the Travellers' social calendar.

Council workers were out in force at 6am yesterday to ensure there were no complaints from residents about rubbish strewn along the Main Street.

Early risers were greeted with a jacuzzi dumped outside the post office, as well as televisions, vacuum cleaners and mattresses strewn along the street.

A pub in Kerry has a barrel with legs sticking out - as if a drunk just fell in. Inside, the men's toilets is a converted bath

I never even thought of that.. How the hell would he manage it? He's 84 so I doubt he moves everything when the grass needs cutting.. and the lawn is perfectly trimmed all round the garden.

A similar house (on a smaller scale) on the Ballyboden Road Rathfarnham here. I do recall he used to have more stuff than that, even had a phonebox in it at one point I think!

Not necessarily a garden, but surely that wall heading south on the N11 just after Sugarloaf (I think) that always updated has political messages counts? Any frequent commuters from Dublin to Wexford have surely seen it
