Floozies In Their Jacuzzies...

[sandyRoe]

A thread last night about Birmingham saw a mention of their Floozie in the Jacuzzi. She certainly is a statuesque figure and in my opinion wouldn't look out of place in some provincial town in Russia during the Communist era. In contrast, the Dublin floozie has a more sinuous, almost sensual, form. Which do you prefer?

Definitely our Brummie Floozie, sandy.

There's no accounting for taste. :-)

The second one actually looks a bit creepy. She looks melted. The first one is 'normal'.

This is our 'Floozie' - she scared the living daylights out of a very very drunk friend of mine one night. http://website.lineone.net/~johnaferguson/phpc80.jpg

After a few Pints of Lowenbrau's at the German Market the Brum one looks rather appealing ! :-))

Good man, Red. You know it makes sense.

[tonyav]

wolf, she doesn't look very floozie to me !.

[sandyRoe]

The Brum one looks as though she might box your ears if you came back a bit the worse for drink.

Wolf, the second one is supposed to represent the flowing river Liffey.

The lady is a river - that's Irish.

The second one looks like a mermaid cadavour!

the pigeons appear to have voiced their opinion re the brummie floozie

Dublin's. Dubliners have a knack for renaming street art. Oscar Wilde's statue is The Fag on the Crag, for example. What they call the enormous phallic object put up in O'Connell Street can best be imagined. I'm sure it is not the polite version that tour guides give.
