Liffey Blue

Hi,

I'm posting here another piece of footage centered around one of my all time favourite waterways, viz, the River Liffey in my hometown of Dublin, Ireland. As a matter of interest, in his gargantuan novel Finnegans Wake, James Joyce refers to the Liffey as Anna Livia Plurabelle, but I think I'll just stick with plain old Liffey for the purposes of this post. Besides, I ain't no James Joyce.
Anyway, it was on another sunny afternoon (I think that's a song lyric from the nineties) and I found myself upon Capel Street Bridge a.k.a Grattan Bridge for the umpteenth time in my life.
Liking what I saw of the river in the clemency of the day, I whipped out my iPhone and filmed away at the scene for thirty seconds or so.
The music I've added to the piece is Man on the River by Bryan Ingram.

Here is the link to my latest video creation:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVOb2l0wvI0&feature=plcp

Whilst maintaining my code of utmost humility, I must say in all fairness that it does look rather well.

It is my fervent wish that you will enjoy the experience of viewing it.

Humbly, until the next time,

Brian

PS The film was shot last Friday, August 10th, 2012.

Refugee Effigy Punch-Drunk in Bludgeon Pub

                                      (Taken from The Evening Lies 07/07/2017 by reporter Todd Flesk) Proud pub landlord Ronan Colreavy spoke yesterday of his delight at an effigy of a refugee he has displayed in his bar The Wife Beater in Bludgeon city centre. “The reaction has been fantastic, my regulars love it and it’s great for business,” gushed Ronan, licking his lips and showing euro signs in his eyes. The idea was hit upon by a few of ‘The Lads’, as the pub regulars are known. They had been drinking all day, after an important Premiership morning clash, when Dano Scutts (a drinker at The Wife Beater for over 20 years) got onto the subject of refugees. He said he was sick of seeing blacks all over the place and that they had ruined whole streets with their stinking shops. Jimbo Rancid, a stalwart patron of The Wife , stated that he was starting...
