   They obviously feel 21 is too young to go forward for presidential nomination.

      My first thoughts too :)

      Are there any #nothometovotebutstillwouldlikeayespartysolidarity yokes happening in London tonight?
      1. Don Pidgeoni May 22, 2015 at 11:13 am

         Not sure, havent seen anything. Though any good Irish bar might. The one in Stoke Newington for example?
         1. John E. Bravo May 22, 2015 at 11:21 am

            Good idea.
            1. Don Pidgeoni May 22, 2015 at 11:22 am

               Really, you need a gay Irish pub tomorrow to both celebrate the ref and watch Eurovision. Double whammy (hopefully)!!

               I wouldn’t watch if we were in it I’m afraid. But sinking pints and getting emotional about gayness? I’d be up for that.

               John, they are the same thing!!!

               Blaring ‘Under Pressure’ is as far as I’m willing to go on this subject.

         eurovision and gay marriage in one sitting – my gaydar wouldn’t be able to compute.

            Does Conchita make your brain freeze then?

   The cladding. The eagle on the gatepost. The fleur-du-lys tipped and dipped notions railings. The paved over front garden.

   We know the kind of people they THINK they are and the kind of people they REALLY are.

      Notions!
      1. BA BARACUS May 22, 2015 at 11:35 am

         Notions indeed!! The railings and the eagle are sick, but it’s the cladding that kills me. Truly a vile home in which to live!
4. Martin Heavy-Guy May 22, 2015 at 10:41 am

   It’s an aesthetic choice in Glasnevin. If I had an eagle on my gate-pier I would also leave a big “NO” in the window all the time, just in case.

      I like matching pineapples meself
5. Clampers Outside! May 22, 2015 at 10:42 am

   Oh, I do love a bit of faux brick cladding…. Inspiring, I feel a Madonna song coming on…

   Wanting, needing, cladding
   Will you campify my house
   Hoping, gaying
   Will you campify my house
   .
   .
   .
   Enuff…. this country is too campified for a Friday morning, only two days from next Mass !

   The intimidating bird of prey statue greeting those who dare cross the threshold, matched with the No sign and that cladding, suggests that this is the home of a Skeletor-level supervillain who has had to downsize.

   Don’t worry I’ll be up in Glasnevin later to sort this out. Smells like a Tolka Estate dweller to me.
   1. Bertie Blenkinsop May 22, 2015 at 11:04 am

      I was thinking the very same thing, looks like someone who’d drink in The Cremore.
      1. Jaden May 22, 2015 at 11:28 am

         AFAIK they don’t drink, but if they did, it would be in the Auto – it being a GAA pub and all…..
8. Jaden May 22, 2015 at 10:59 am

   Pretty sure i know that house.The term “Staunchly Catholic” would understate the household.

   Didn’t get a pic of it as I was driving, but I saw one NO sign this morning here in Waterford which read:

   2 BULLS NEVER MADE A HERD – VOTE NO

   It was written on the back of a Martin Cullen (FF) election poster.
   1. Liam from Lixnaw May 22, 2015 at 11:04 am

      its pronounced Waaaaaaaaaa-ford boi
10. Jane May 22, 2015 at 11:07 am

    Why has nobody mentioned the faux carriage lamps?

    Anyway, I’m impressed with how they’ve accessorised their NO sign with tasteful knicknacks. Brings a touch of Boyers to proceedings.
11. Mysterymeat May 22, 2015 at 11:12 am

    Canvassed that No house last night. Or rather attempted to. He was having none of it.
    1. Jane May 22, 2015 at 11:28 am

       I’d say he’s still giving out about it this morning, you pup.
    2. Mr. T. May 22, 2015 at 12:29 pm

       I bet you didn’t.
       1. Mysterymeat May 22, 2015 at 12:50 pm

          I’m pretty sure I did.
          Did you stand out on doorsteps for your convictions?
12. Mikeyfex May 22, 2015 at 11:29 am

    Maybe it says OFF on the other side?
    1. yrtnuocecnareviled May 22, 2015 at 12:35 pm

       This guy right here ; )

    On that ‘No in the Window’ photo. Who has stone pigeons on their gate pillars? Eagles maybe, but pigeons?
