Now I know where mr. kenju picked up his pronunciation of whore. He has said 'hoor" for all the time I've known him. I bet even he doesn't know where it came from! He has Irish on both sides of his family. Well. Now I know where mr. kenju picked up his pronunciation of whore. He has said ‘hoor” for all the time I’ve known him.

The old washing up liquid in the fountain trick! Hope it was bio-degradable. If 'tweren't for Nelson we inhabitants of these islands might be all frenchified...oh horrors! Mind you Dublin wasn't the most sensitive place to put up a statue to the old adulterer...and there's me having lived in his home village at one time. Ah!

I remember the day well when it was blown up. @Baino - I was in one of those auto carwashes many years ago when the brushes took on a life of their own. I was stuck in there for an age and nobody responded to me banging on the cars horn! Give me real Toyboys to do it anyday! ;) Philip - I remember the debris going to St Anne's Park, Raheny. I will come back to the Pillar over the next week or so. @Nancy - I may well write a piece about it over the holidays. I remember the day well when it was blown up.
