   Flipper. . . as I once said back in the day about an uncooperative girlfriend

   He’s looking for the Barn.

      I looked up why it’s called Dolphin’s Barn as it never dawned on me before to wonder at it.
      The following is listed as one of DB’s main attractions (sort of):
      The Dublin marathon passes down South Circular Road in Dolphin’s Barn.

         My house is made of Dolphin’s Barn bricks, from the old factory. An architect friend assures me that if I were to take one of the bricks out there would be an imprint of a dolphin marking it out as such. Unfortunately I need my bricks to hold up my house, so I can’t test her on it.

            Wow: that’s very interesting.

            I was wondering if it had something to do with the Dauphin or summink. Totally wrong.

            I remember hearing that the extension on Fagan’s was built from the bricks they salvaged from The ‘Joy but that might be a spoof (as well as dull)

               “bertie…” I see you referencing Fagan’s: You’re not…..you know….are you?

               God forbid!

               what, a southsider?

               Reviewing the situation?

      Or the Glass Bottlenose site.

         Today’s most underrated comment Hoop.

   That’s pretty interesting.
   Also please turn phone 90° in which ever direction suits.

   I went down to watch him for about 15 minutes with about 50-60 other. He’s almost impossible to photograph as he keeps popping up in different spots. I got a great buzz of him though!

   Are those two orcas still hanging around the Poolbeg towers? Fish supper tonight, wha.
   1. millie st murderlark November 28, 2018 at 3:11 pm

      *straightens pedantic hat*

      Orcas rarely eat other dolphins. Seals and other smaller mammals, yes, but other dolphins, not so much.

         Needed a good well, actually there
         1. millie st murderlark November 28, 2018 at 6:28 pm

            Damn it, you’re right.
            1. Nigel November 28, 2018 at 6:43 pm

               ROTIDE JUST MANSPLAINED MANSPLAINING

               OH NO

               and I thought we were enjoying a moment of shared pedantry.
            3. Nigel November 28, 2018 at 8:22 pm

               YOU WERE! It was beautiful.
6. Dub Spot November 28, 2018 at 2:44 pm

   WHAT?!!!

   Unnecessary journey, putting the lives of our emergency commenters at risk. Coming over here, taking Irish fish…
   1. Spaghetti Hoop November 28, 2018 at 5:12 pm

      And for what porpoise?

   Forget Brexit, Ukraine and Trump. This and the big aussie steer are the only stories anyone is going to care about.
9. dhaughton99 November 28, 2018 at 3:11 pm

   Actually, Is there any fish in that end of the Liffey?

   I remember you could see some big groups of mullet around the Ha Penny when tide is low but that was donkey years ago.
   1. Dub Spot November 28, 2018 at 3:15 pm

      True. Corner boy hair styles are much shorter these days.
   2. Spaghetti Hoop November 28, 2018 at 3:21 pm

      Think that was when Duran Duran played the Point.

    Up yours Dingle – now there is truly no reason to leave the Pale.

       Funghie: “Get up to Dublin with yourself and get a job! tit-tee-tit-tah-tit-toe”
       Maybe check for the reddish/pink patch in front of the dorsel?

       FIN ;-)

       Unless drinking and driving is part of your dolphin experience.
