Go to O'Donoughes Pub and have a pint. Turn right on leaving the pub and keep walking straight ahead for about ten minutes. When you come to Baggot Street bridge - over the Grand Canal - turn right along the canal path before crossing the bridge. The bench is about fifty yards along the path.SteveShaw wrote:I'm going to Dublin for the first time next month and I want a picture of me sitting next to him.

We could make it a given that any Chiffer going to Dublin gets a pic taken at the bench and posts it up. We'll soon have our own CP thread going.
Here's mine
His original bench was right here and if you look over to the right hand of the shot you can see the sculpture.
When you get a few pics, turn back around and go back to O'Donoughes for another few pints.
Mission accomplished.

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

Seriously, great photo and I'll see what I can do...

He jested, quaff'd and swore."
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!

I don't care if I'm 33 years old . . . I LOVE Peep!
It's the sweetest kids program on the Learning channel, narrated by Joan Cusack, about a chicken, a robin, and a duck, learning all about the Big Wide World. It's just cute and simple but not infantile.
And it's got birdies!!

I sing the birdie tune
It makes the birdies swoon
It sends them to the moon
Just like a big balloon

I rotate through various whimsical scottie images. This is the one I always come back to; the imagery has deep personal meaning, but also it exemplifies the spirit of the breed: The wee Scot waiting faithfully --yet impatiently (you can tell by the posture, and the ears)--for a loved one.
That raises the question: I wonder if there's any way of figuring out who has the oldest avatar on the board? After perusal of the 'posters by date' list, I'd guess it's Rich... perhaps some of the veterans would remember; has he ever had another? ...Umm...we know it ain't Dale.Tyghress wrote:Its probably one of the oldest avatars on the board, as I have never changed it....

I'm pretty sure Peeplj's predates Rich's. Rich had a different one before this, that was a photograph.scottielvr wrote:That raises the question: I wonder if there's any way of figuring out who has the oldest avatar on the board?

Ah yes, the good doctor!
You wouldn't happen to look like Robert Picardo by some sick irony, would you?
