The Dublin Assault with a LED Keychain Light
November 8th 2008:
It was a case of taking the train up to Dublin for the weekend to
For those who know what I'm getting at - heh, I'm such a bitch....
And yes, I have friends....but nobody else wanted to go.
And yes, I have friends....but nobody else wanted to go.
Naturally, there wasn't any trouble. (Crazy P is where the cool kids are at :p). For the "Out-For-the-Music-Creatures", there's no room for lame-o pick up lines like, "So, do you come here often...?"
The verdict? A soundbite for you to decide -
I'm afraid the magic is lost with the poor sound quality on the video cam....
May it be known for public record that I'm gonna have babies with them - never mind what I said in my London 24 Hours Crazy Party People post a while back; and to the guy who asked me which one, I say babies with ALL of them. Yes, including the chick. (She's the coolest of the bunch. :p)
Chick from Crazy P? Call me. We can share hair products :D
Crazy P aside, Dublin is a classic example of a nondescript (bigger) European city. Trademark features of this include the following:
1) European-ish looking buildings
2) A river running through the city
3) Romanian gypsies begging on the streets with their empty paper cups; (that or they're throwing "babies" at you or walking around with slips of paper asking if you speak English).
3) Chinatown (yeah, those damn Asians get around :p)
4) European high street chain stores including: Costa, Neros, H&M, Dorothy Perkins, Mango, Zara, Starbucks
5) A red city sightseeing "hop on hop off" tour bus doing a continuous loop around the city centre.
6) A melting pot of people from different countries, and different walks of life, thanks to the relaxing of immigration boarders, as the result of the European Union. Take a walk on the streets and you'd hear the sounds of people speaking anything from English, Italian, Spanish and Cantonese.
Dig a little deeper and of course you'd soon realise you're in Dublin with Irish bars named "Murphy's" or "O'Something", and of course, the Guiness Storehouse.
The Guiness storehouse is somewhat of an interesting tribute to the most famous of Irish stouts. Guinness is derived simply from water, barley, hops & yeast. Try and stretch this Guiness story out in a large, expansive eight storey building and well, you'd be struggling after level three.
There was the extensive display of empty Guinness bottles, the "artistic" waterfall and the barrels.....and after a while, you kinda got the feeling that they were really clutching at straws with the old fashion harp in the display cabinet (apparently a part of the Guinness emblem), the torpedo that apparently hit some submarine that had some Guinness on board..... Level seven was devoted entirely to the anti-drinking campagin (conveniently located just before the Velocity bar).
But then, if drinking until you're blind drunk & vomiting all over the street is your kind of thing? Then by all means, Dublin is the city for you.

Most strangest sight in Dublin that weekend? The Indian "Santa" busker strumming his sitar to hindi music.
There's just something not quite right with that picture.....
