It’s a hipster detector. Let the purge begin…..
No self respecting hipster lives in portobello anymore. We’re all in D7 now.
D7 is for hipster wannabes. But nice try.
Seriusly though. Portobello is so 2008.
D7 is for crusties. real hipsters are stil D6/8
The hipsters have taken over D7…bean hat clad scumbags now occupy the pubs in the area….
Scumbags have always been present in D7. The only difference is the hats.
D7. A kip.
Any part of Dublin requiring a number is a kip.
Where in D8 because there is very very few, if any where I live.
East and South East D8. Fumbally Lane to Portobello. It’s hipster central there. And they’re breeding…..
Hipster parents don’t count as true hipsters. That’s what I was saying, so 2008.
It’s a hatchback.
a red one too!
that looks like a microphone. budget government surveilance?
Definitely something you need to worry about
That’s a masturbation detector.
I thought they moved all of those to Maynooth.
Possibly a noise and pollution detector (the black mike bit). The white box is most likely the battery because of a lack of power sources. It could be an idea to contact the local county council to see whats up though…
Noise monitoring in the area. There may be scheduled large development int he area and they’d have to prescribe to keeping the noise down and may need either a base level to work off or are using this to monitor db levels to keep the pesky local complaints in check with some science.
May also have something to do with recent noisy sex complaints in the area…
They’re considering making the whole area a 30km speed limit zone, so they’re monitoring the noise levels for that.
The Israeli Embassy is building its new bunker under the guise of the Jewish Museum around the corner in Walworth Street.
That bin looks suspicious…..
It’s a Dalek!
It’s one of them new fandangiled brain reading things. No tinfoil hat is inpenetrable

+1 for the gunfire locator. Who says the government is doing nothing about gangland violence?
Although a more reasonable guess would be an EM2010 Wireless Environmental Noise Monitor with, of course, the pole mount option.
the noise pollution guesses are good guesses but incorrect. they’re there to record birds. theres a swallow new to the area that shouldnt be there, which happens from time to time, but they dont usually stay for as long as these fellows. we think there’s a mating call attracting them but cant quite figure it out so we’re recording over a period of specific times to get to the bottom of it.
There’s a crow living in that white box and the black thing is his Saorview box.
Crows love telly.
They also adore Kia-Ora although it has been deemed too orangey for them by anti-corvid types.
LOL Tish, Neilo
Cheers, Liam!
VERY good work.

I reckon it’s a transformer.
Robots in disguise

Snip the wire:
You’re Paul Williams, and you still can’t figure out what a box on a pole is??? I’d say the criminils’ are tremblin’…
