A new bridge to be known as The Samuel Beckett Bridge is being erected over the river Liffey See it Here

It will be situated downriver of The James Joyce Bridge. It has been suggested by someone with a sharp sense of Dublin wit that the water that flows between the two bridges be offically designated as 'The Stream of Consciousness' Hee, Hee, you gotta love it.

I thought this thread was about Margaret Beckett. I wonder will she face questions about her earnings. Has anyone any idea what she charges to haunt a house ?

It was delayed for a couple of days in the bay before they could tow it up the river. Some wag said the reason for the delay was that they were 'Waiting for Godot'

Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to call it The Unnamable Bridge?

It's the fight of the century, ladies and gentlemen! In this corner, in the white trunks, is Joltin' Jimmy Joyce and in the other cornerr, in the black trunks, is Slammin' Sammy Beckett. Neither of these fighters have ever met before, but their reputations preceed them. This should be one you'll never forget!

They've shaken hands and now there's the bell. Joltin' Jimmy comes out first and before you can think he's hit Beckett with "riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs. Sir Tristram, violer d'amores, fr'over the short sea, had passencore rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy
isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor
had topsawyer's rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse
to Laurens County's gorgios while they went doublin their jumper
all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to
tauftauf thuartpeatrick: not yet, though venissoon after, had a        
kidscad buttended a bland old isaac: not yet, though all's fair in
vanessy, were sosie sesthers wroth with twone nathandjoe. Rot a        
peck of pa's malt had Jhem or Shen brewed by arclight and rory        
end to the regginbrow was to be seen ringsome on the aquaface."

Beckett's groggy, but game. He's on his feet again, and...there he goes! "I remember the maps of the Holy Land. Coloured they were. Very pretty. The Dead Sea was pale blue. The very look of it made me thirsty. That's where we'll go, I used to say, that's where we'll go for our honeymoon. We'll swim. We'll be happy."

And there's the bell for the end of the first round....
