The Cliffs of Moher as we all know and love them

CliffsOfMoher

The Cliffs of Moher as seen on the Aer Lingus website.

Seriously like. Why does the web graphics person think it’s ok to flip an iconic scene like this? It’s even worse then they horizontally flip a persons face for the web or newspaper. It just looks weird…

Took a short evening walk with Dad (recovering well after heart surgery and long stay in hospital) around the pier and harbour area in Wicklow Town yesterday. The place has never looked as well.

Only noticed the Wicklow Town Heritage Trail plinths which were erected some time ago following the efforts of the Wicklow Chamber of Commerce to get funding for them.

Here’s one telling how Wicklow got its name. Looks rather well in the brilliant evening sunshine.

The next point on the trail leads the visitor to the remains of the Black Castle. Here’s how the plaque looks.

Destroyed by local yobs who have no pride in their town or themselves. Makes me sick to see stuff like this. Makes me sick to see people littering. Sick to see dog shit all over the footpaths too.

I cannot understand it and it makes me very sad indeed.

From yesterday’s Irish Daily Star. A couple with 3 children are €13k in arrears with Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council due to husband losing job. Bailiffs arrive with Gardai at seven in the morning to evict them without notice (according to the husband speaking to the Star reporter). Husband says they were making repayments as well.

Count the Gardai. Seven of them in the picture on the bottom right of the report. SEVEN well paid employees of the state to strong arm a 50 year old woman out of her home. Presumably a couple bailiffs were there too.

Sunday and all as it is – What an absolute fucking disgrace.

Only explanation for this Ebay auction is the seller is from Roscommon.

Oh, and I wasn’t searching for anything related to Gerry Ryan on Ebay. Just happened to be browsing through the websites for sale category and it was on the first page of results.
