Elizabrit poster 'vandalised'
seen on 11 Sixty Nine And Counting….. NOT APPRECIATED ! YIELD TO A BRITISH MONARCH! The above poster - all seventy foot of it - was recently erected on the side of a building in Dublin which hires itself out for functions/gigs etc. No doubt in an effort to secure free publicity for some upcoming event or other , the owners/promoters decided to try and ’stir things up’ by using a controversial image in the hope of selling more tickets for whatever gig it is they’re trying to advertise. It seems that not everyone appreciated their efforts - WE NEED A NEW POSTER…. Could we suggest that if the owners/promoters of said venue/gig wish to use an image of a British monarch to obtain free publicity for a planned event , they use an image which more properly represents the legacy which said monarch has visited on this isle , such as the following picture represents - LEGACY OF THE CROWN. - it might not help with ticket sales but , as well as being more honest , it could save a few bob on poster repairs….. (UPDATE : Radio station news reports have stated that the torn poster has been further damaged by at least two petrol bombs which were thrown at it. More information and , hopefully , a picture or two will follow if and when we receive same.) Sharon.

At first I thought that whole poster thing was a joke... But good news anyway! ;)

Well done :clap: :FlagWaver:

A number of Dublin radio stations last night reported that, when asked, a security man on duty at the site said that ''men dressed as builders climbed a ladder and slashed the poster a number of times with blades.'' He also said that a few hours later, ''in broad daylight, 2 petrol bombs were thrown at the poster by youths covering their faces with scarves.''

I love this story. :D :D :D :D

Howyis ! Fairly busy here for those of us wha' prefer the wireless to the Silly Lantern ! Ruairi Mór was on RTE radio for an hour t'other night and he was on the telly just before that - so I'm told , anyway , as I've not got much of a liking for the TV - and young Dessie D was on Dublin City FM radio on the same day that Ruairi was on for his hour on RTE 1 radio ! Good range of issues covered by Ruairi and Dessie - Paisleys visit , some talk 'bout some God-awful poster on the quays in Dublin (!) , and the Stormont Treaty , amongst others ! It all helps to spread the word :P ! Slan Anois ! Ireland.
