    Default Statues

    I am sure the Russians or some other faction are putting something in the drinking water, half the idiots are going round tearing down statues from long ago, and the other half are creating new statues, this is the latest, kt

    I think what the students union are pizzed of about the £24k could have been put behind the bar for Pizz up.
    I am sure she is full of good intentions and seems to be a very clever girl. At 17 years old maybe a bit soon for the statue.
    I have a friend who has Aspergers and as bikers we have travelled all over the UK , Ireland and lots of Europe. He always said he was not a morning person , he forgot to add as well if he did not get his own way he would sulk for days. A nice lad on a bike but on the beer a complete arsehole.

    I have seen statues all over and tended to find out more about them, my first trip to Dublin alone was an experience,
    O'Connell Street holds one that I will not mention fully to avoid any row but, The Wellington Monument (Irish: Leacht
    Wellington) eg, or more correctly the Wellington Testimonial, is an obelisk located in the Phoenix Park.

    I had not realised until then that the Duke was Irish. Air brushing these things is simply denying history.

    I recall as a young lad my uncle coming home late at night and my aunt saying,
    'Statue Bob'?
