Much prefer the arrangement above to the Wilde statue I sometimes pass on the way to the Harp bar in London. It's a bit of a sad effort. I pat him on the head in consolation whenever I pass.

Cathy - I realised this week that I need to spend more time in Dublin City with my camera and 're-look' at the sculptures that were part of my childhood. Lola - I was quoting the titles given to the sculpture, certainly not ones I would use. Dublin has a humour all of its own and all sculpture is fondly renamed. WWW - I have another sculpture with quotations coming up in the next week or two.

It makes me cringe and I would hope it has a different connotation in your country. Only bullies use it along with the "n" word. “fag” is a very offensive name in the USA.
