That first picture looks like that shite spire on O’Connell Street!
Cool comment but it doesn’t really. Looks like the Dubai tower though. Thats much more dystopic in fairness
…more dystopic… how?
Oh, as a symbol of profligate waste, capitalist excess and vanity. Dystopic to me anyway. Unlike the spire, which is a tall metal spike sculpture and not very suggestive of dystopia. Not to me anyway.
Ah right, gotcha
You’re right it looks like the tower in Dubai which interestingly enough was the recipient of the scrap metal from the old communist parliament in East Berlin when it was demolished.
Any thoughts on where we can send the scrap metal from the spire when we eventually get rid of it?
When the Scottish vote ‘no’ for independence, we should send them the spire and tell them it’s a big needle representing the ‘no’ vote as a confirmation that the two countries are stitched together for more than three hundred years and their shared love of crochet crafts with their English brethren.
And if they vote ‘yes’, we can give it to Scotland so they can poke Northern Ireland with it. Repeatedly.
Northern Ireland might like it
