maybe its used to signify that in the states and in the movies but the shoes that hang from the lines round my way are just thrown up for the craic. defo not thrown up by dealers.

This has been mentioned many times on these and many other boards.

It's a drugs for sale sign.

Obviously, some shoes get thrown up for a laugh at some stages. But, most of them are there for a reason. It's not as if the cops don't know where drugs are being sold. But non-local scummers also need to know.

Ever notce how soon they get taken down after dealers have been "moved on"? How does that happen?

That chimbley's still there. The Swastika's not.

It means drugs are for sale there, according to a politician I heard talking about the social problems in the docklands

Don't be ridiculous. It's simply a harsh reminder of what happens when tightrope walkers have their laces tied together.

These boys were what we consider here streetwise. They could both end up at
the head of some large corporation.'...

Well? where are they now?

 

[flashback]

if you find any photos of the Swastka Laundry chimney in Ballsbridge be sure to post them here. pretty sure it still existed in the early eighties.

That was definitely there well into the eighties, I remember seeing it when I was riding the bike out that direction. I would not have been allowed that far alone until I was 8 or nine I would guess...
I thought i had a photo in a book here but it's just a side note.

 

[flashback]

I was looking for info on that Laundry... and ended up at www.stormfront.org.


Bizzaro shit on that site. They have a House and Homemaking forum, good nazi vegetables to grow, seriously.
Apparently White Shadow heard a rumour that French Restaurants serve *smaller* portions than in the US, and, with blinding scalpel like logic jumped to the hypothesis that this might have something to do with French people generally not having to buy two airplane seats to fit themselves into.
