    It is said that when the people of Belfast were told that the Titanic had sunk, the reposte was "well, she was fine when she left here, so she was"...
    I don't think they could claim similar about that, that... effort.
    Not fine, even in situ.

    All I'm saying is, if they were to melt that down they'd have the opportunity to make the Stuff into an actual Thing.

    The Rory Gallagher statue is very disappointing giving him an unrecognizable female looking rounded face and then the boobs, very poor crafting by whoever did it and an insult to Rory's memory, if I had commissioned the statue I'd sue the person who made it for the money back or make them completely recast it properly, I really hope the townspeople raise a real fuss about this. Their ridiculous agendas has really gone too far now, if you can't see any resemblance in the statue to the real person at all what BS. The statue looks more like Tiny Tim rather than Rory just replace the guitar with a ukelele. This must have cost a huge bundle of cash for this crap.

    Makes me wonder where pride in craftsmanship has disappeared to.

    Maybe Rory was actually a chick, and those sideburns are stuck on.
