1206.0. "Where's the floozie ?" by BERN02::BYRNE () Tue Apr 20 1993 06:38

    Is it true that the "Floozie in the Jacuzzi" is being moved to the
    Garden of Remembrance or was it an April Fool's joke !

    Let us all say a prayer for the soul of this Burns character, though 
    it's probably too late!
    
    He's missing from work on Monday and Waco goes up in smoke....inquiring
    minds want to know if there's a connection???

1206.4She Has not moved yetSIOG::BRENNAN_Mfestina lenteWed Apr 21 1993 14:2012
She is still where she was. Glad to see Mr Burns is still
practicing Pyromania. Glad he didnt get any real 
firewater. He would probably have burnt down Boston.

On the same subject one Mick Keyes was seen disappearing
into a certain pub after the Clare Donegal Match on 
Sunday afternoon. Rumour also has it he decided to 
discuss hurling with a certain Customer. Rumour also has
that he is still sick.

Oh what we have to do to make a living

    Mr Brennan knows some interesting Characters!..Sad about Clare
    but think they have had their day.
    
    Tipp to give Cork a lesson on Sunday and limerick to be given a lesson
    on hurling in the final..

1206.7Some Hurling lessonSIOG::BRENNAN_Mfestina lenteMon Apr 26 1993 09:2817
Mike,

Said customer must have put a jinx on Tipp. That was some
lesson they taught Cork. I must admit that the hurling
was a bit too tough for my liking. And thats saying a lot

Wexford put in a workmanlike performance in disposing of
Limerick. Limerick seemed to think that goals are as easy
to get against every team as against Galway. However
Wexford's young goalie was brilliant.

Now that Wexford seem to be getting it together we might
see a good league final and possibly a good run in the 
championship. That should put the hoodoo on them!!!

    re: .7
    
    
    That's what ya get for paying any attention to that Clare man, Mbr.
    
    Then again, what's a Dub anyway, but a Clare man with shoes!
    
    
    :^)
    
    
    Now let us all sing praise to the Boys from the Banks!!!!
    Feel free to join in with Mbr, Mick and Dermot :^))))  
    
    *CORK!*
1206.9The MIGHTY CORK will Prevail!WREATH::DROTTERFri May 14 1993 12:4013

    MBr
    
    I do hope you'll be cheering on the MIGHTY CORK this weekend. I mean, 
    logically, why would you even consider rooting for anyone but CORK?! ;^)
    I mean, let's face it: you know they're going to win!
    
    BTW, quaffing a few MURPHY'S REAL IRISH STOUTS always hits the
    spot when watching the game. :^>
    
    Have a great weekend!
    
1206.10cork need the trainingMACNAS::MKEYESMfg technology 827-5556Tue May 18 1993 14:2219
    .
    
    ..that will be the day when we are reduced to drinking that..that stuff
    -) -).
    
    .Excellent game between Wexford and Cork...a draw again.. Good for Cork to
    get the practice before the meet Tipp (though Dermot may have something
    to say there) match...skin will be flying amd knuckles raw after that
    one.
    
    Good to see Tipp also heading for the munster football final..a little
    mater of Waterford to get by...if that match is televised..methinks a
    visit to hartigans is in order ..Martin you can draw a dividing line
    down the centre of the pub -) -).
    
    saln,
    
    Mick
    
1206.11If you "Tipp" 'em, they fall over!WREATH::DROTTERTue May 18 1993 14:4431
    re: .10
    
    <cork needs the training.
    
    HA! Cork is just *toying* with them, the same way a cat does with a 
    mouse he's just caught!!! 
    
    How about a little wager regarding the hurling match between 
    MIGHTY CORK and the Wexford Chicken Chokers), Mick?!
    
     If MIGHTY CORK wins, you have to buy me a pint next time I'm over, 
    *PLUS* drink a pint of Murphy's. If Wexford wins, I'll buy you a pint 
    of that Liffy water. Fair enough?!
    
    Or, we could make it a little more challenging: If MIGHTY CORK wins, 
    you have to walk thru the streets of Galway wearing Cork's colours, 
    (Blood 'n bandage!) holding a banner that says:
    
               "MIGHTY CORK: The Hurling Capitol of Ireland!"
    
    And if Wexford wins, well, I guess I will walk thru Galway carrying a
    banner praising Tipp's hurling skills.
    
     But I'm sure you realize that MIGHTY CORK is going to win, so, we'll
    just stick to the wager on pints, OK?! 
    
    
     After all: we Leesiders do have a heart you know! ;^) 
    
    especially for you "hurlingly challenged" counties! ;^)
                                                      
1206.12Wouldn;t wear itMACNAS::MKEYESMfg technology 827-5556Tue May 18 1993 15:3711
    
    Joe.
    
    your on!...for the pints bet anyway...
    
    as for the other one...lets make it a bit less painful and just put
    the deeds of a house and car on the table -) -)

1206.13MIGHTY CORK Rules Hurling, OK?!WREATH::DROTTERTue May 18 1993 15:5713
    re: .12
    
    <wouldn't wear it
    
    See, I knew it! Ye wouldn't wear the colours of the greatest hurling
    county in Ireland! So we'll just stick to the bets on pints.
    
    And what's this bit about the deed to the house and car making it "
    a bit less painful", than wearing the blood 'n bandage! 
    
    And here I thought I was offering you the opportunity to wear the 
    colours of a champion, for a change! 
    
1206.14BERN02::BYRNEWed May 19 1993 03:203
    How about answering the ORIGINAL question ?
    
    I didn't know the FLOOZIE was moving to Cork !
1206.15Not in my gardenTALLIS::DARCYWed May 19 1993 10:391
    OK Therese, educate us over here - who's Floozie???
1206.16You mean you don't know ??BERN02::BYRNEThu May 20 1993 03:1312
    The floozie in the Jacuzzi
    
    	or 
    
    The whore in the sewer 
    
    are more popular names for that fountain which was built in O'Connell
    St (Dublin) representing, of course, Dublin. It's supposed to be Anna
    Livia surrounded by the flowing waters of the Liffey - hence the names.
    
    I don't know if anyone knows the real name.
    
1206.17A bad mistake.MACNAS::JDOOLEYWeek 4 Dec 1993Thu May 20 1993 07:586
    Reports have it that this sculptural monstrosity becomes the urinal and
    vomitorium for a large percentage of the drunks of Dublin and is a
    complete failure as a public amenity.
    
    It should be scrapped.

    <<urinal...
