Sitting on the Dock

Dear Readers (hilarious!),

Here's a link to some footage I shot at Grand Canal Dock on a blue sky day back in November. Among the buildings you see as I pan around are Boland's Mill (occupied by De Valera's forces during the 1916 uprising) and Google's headquarters in Dublin, a fine building in my view (pictured above), architecturally pleasing on the eye. There's also quite a number of boats bobbing in the basin. As waiters and waitresses are fond of saying when presenting one with a plate: enjoy!

As humble as ever,

Brian

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...
