Building castles in the air
Nothing is happening.
Nothing happened yesterday, nothing happened today.
So in a fit of something I did a bit of before and after.
As things used to be:
Then along came Disney and their fucking Princess Castle:
And now:
That’s only the half of it. And they have to rebuild all the shops and houses yet to make them look like some fucking fantasy land.
I have eavesdropped overheard heard some interesting comments from non-locals [and even some locals] as to the purpose of the structure. The common consensus is that it’s an apartment block or a new hotel. If anyone were to ask me I would say I heard it was a new drug rehabilitation centre.
Unfortunately, they haven’t asked me.
Yet.
Well Grandad, just because they haven't asked you yet that doesn't prevent you from giving them an ear full.
Somebody, somewhere is getting oodles of EU yuoros for building environmentally friendly, affordable housing for poor immigrants.
That's a good rumour to start.
Or, your wee village is going to be the next European City of culture.
Or Sleepy Joe, with his Irish roots dating back to before his election, is having a retirement home built by his avid supporters and backers. Only he does not know it yet. "Yes, Joe, and this device that looks like a Whoopee Cushion is the cunningly disguised Anti Ruskie Nookular Almageddn Arctirvaton Button. So you be very careful not to sit on it."
I'll tell 'em that it's a wee retirement home for Leo Varadkar.
It's an awful building because, as we all know, Disney is a Micky Mouse outfit…
OK, I'll get my coat.
