I’m just getting the hang of this Photobucket image storage crack so this is all I have time for now…you’l be glad to hear!
Slan,
D.
Denny you rogue…I used hyperlinks to give the good folk of the Chiffdom an option, they might have just eaten 
Slan,
D.
Dub, you should not wear Nike hats. They are evil.
dub, nice, who cuts your beard?
So how many sots have sat down on those benches in the late of night and started having conversations the other guy at the end, then get ticked off because the other guy won’t answer.

PS great pics! I had a beard like that once.
I’d be more concerned about what those sots did on the bench last night before I went and sat down on/in it.

No mercy to the recently feed or dial up modem. 
I did shink 'em a bit… 
Hey, D., didn’t get a chance to welcome you back before…couldn’t resist a chance to hoist a glass of the best backatcha. Cheers!
Woah, you two could be step-twins!
Hmp. Cran, dear, I assume you refer to the beverage, the setting, and the joie de vivre, which similarity struck me as amusing–and not to physiognomy. … not that D. isn’t adorable and all, but…well, the beard…
Still, I’d be proud to be D’s step-twin-- I reckon I’d be more of an evil twin, though.
Hey Dub, you’ll have to do all the others now: Molly in Grafton Street, James Joyce by the Spike, the one of Larkin doing the YMCA dance… 
Nike hats are evil? Wicked, maybe…
Nice One Dubh! I came across one of those benches on my first trip to Dublin, many moons ago now, at twilight while I was walking the canal. Gave me quite a turn, I can tell you, and you weren’t even sitting on it.
I had to retire to a bar to restore my nerves.
Well now then..
I’ll never be able to play my favourite fiddle tune again - The Nine points of Roguery - without thinking that eight of the points live cunningly within that smile.
To help you sleep, the beard has been trimmed down so much since then that somebody commented “That’s better, now you like like somebody who has a job, a home and a f***in’ bank account”.
The price of drink in Dublin sez otherwise
Slan,
D.
Beam me up, Scottie! Waooooooooohh!
D., you are gallant, as ever. Mrs. D.'s a lucky lady indeed.
Oh, and for the Canine Points of Roguery and other inspiring tune names, look here:

I’m partial to “Frisky Before Breakfast,” myself.
Ah, the late Philip. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a statue of a Fender P bass…
Oy vey, there’s a lot of statuary going on in Dublin!
Where is that Lynott figure? Believe it or not I’ve never bumped into that one.
SAY NO MORE!
Just thought I’d go ahead and supply the 9th point.
