Dublin research


We are only in Dublin for half a day when we arrive in Ireland but will try to track down and photograph some of these local landmarks.
"The statue in Dublin's O'Connell Street is commonly known as the 'Floozy in the Jacuzzi' while the one at the bottom of Grafton Street is best known as the 'Tart with the Cart'. The women at the Ha'Penny bridge are the"Hags with the bags", James Joyce's statue is called the "Dick with the stick" and the Chimney Stack with the new lift in Smithfield Village is now called the "Flue with the View". As for the Spike Monument in O'Connell Street ( Which nobody wants and is a big waste of money ! ), the commonly known name for that is not printable !"
Found it here with lots of other interesting facts. http://factual.eatmyjoke.com/l-facts-about-dublin.html
Couldn't resist looking to see what the "Floozy in the Jacuzzi" was going to look like. This is what I got on Google image search.
