Limerick is the big, sophisticated metropolis for my lot, sw. The journey from Kilteely to Pallas Green is considered a major undertaking.Quote:

Why on earth has this purveyor of anodyne mediocrity been honoured with a statue. Lynott's statue is equally as appalling but he was a fúckin' rocker maaan!!

I was there last November - hooked up with a pal to watch Utd v Arsenal. I got to Limerick early so I could have a look around and found it rather bleak and scruffy. The market, which I had been advised was not to be missed, had about twenty five stalls :-(
My friend also cautioned me to keep shtum if Arsenal scored as most of the local pikies were all ardent Utd fans.
They must have been on the far bank of the Shannon to applaud that monstrosityQuote:

All day long, a queue of mainly Yanks waiting to sing the song while a few deviants will get up and rub her breasts.
