The Americans didn't do this. Leave them alone.
We did this to our grotty selves.

All the Americans ever did for us was bring peace up the north by standing up to the Brits and employ half the tech sector.
Let them have a gawk. They're nice.

‘‘Twas a dirty forint did this particular one I thought?

But all the other vandalism over the years has been home grown.

We do do destruction of common amenities very well

Yeah, he's a Romanian that had form for this up the north I think?

It's been strange listen to a lot of people including BlindBoy devalue what we have cos Americans like it.
Americans being a synonym for 'clueless cunts with money' in this situation.
Cos we're so perfect.

Anyways. Happy Friday.

Did the tour last year and it was deadly, its a fuckin shame.
Recently did a tour of crypts in Vienna and it was full of headbangers, one woman who kept interrupting to ask exact details of how everything looks/smells inside the urns, And some lad who tried to prise the lid off an urn to prove to his girlfriend how they were empty and it was all some sort of conspiracy.
I'm not really sure why I expected a tour revolving around looking at old dead fuckers not to be full of oddballs

That's what I've read alright.

I wasn't specifically trying to target American's - I very nearly typed 'pawed by schoolchildren'

but agree with your point ..

In the heights of GOThrones era Joffrey showed up at one of our gigs, I was big into the show at the time.

I photobombed him at a gig

I've done both. Michans is great, the tour guide lad was a legend.
The Vienna Imperial one is class, but there were no melters there when I went.

I mean talk about a finely-honed act

He had that thing down to a science

The brother did it once and it was just him solo. Said it felt a little off one-on-one. I'd have loved that.

I've done Michans at least 3 times with different visitors to Dublin, always loved it.

It's the first thing I recommend to people visiting

Like just the pure unusualness of it alone

The Vienna one is pretty cool alright.

Have been to the ones in Paris and Rome. The one under st Peter's is pretty class. We had an excellent tour guide for that though, I know someone who did and had a poor one.

Aw, missed that Vatican one when I was there! Think they weren't running it because it was just coming out of covid times.

 

[magicbastarder]

You have to apply in advance for that one too. It's limited to something like 120 people a day

Back in the very early 90s my uncle lived in rome, and he brought an 11 year old me here.

The Crypt

museoecriptacappuccini.it

I had seen so much baroque plasterwork at that point (he was a Franciscan) that I thought it was all sculptures, only afterwards was it explained they were bodies.

This was just before the beginning of mass tourism so we were pretty much the only ones there!

 

[magicbastarder]

is that the capucin place?

blindboy posted this, ref the fire in michan's, and pointed out that the remains in question are pre-christian.

there is an obvious dichotomy there, if they shouldn't be shared on social media because they're human remains, what makes them special?
i've no idea whether the footage shows horseplay by archaeologists or someone having broken into the site at night, say, and interfering with a dig. given the garda involvement, i suspect it's more likely to be the latter.
