The Bugle does not aspire to comprehensive coverage of anything in particular. So it’s not a revelation that we didn’t get around to all of our ideas for blog posts about Ireland. When we moved from our home in Dublin, we took with us a long list of experiences that we still want to share.
Beyond that, our interest in Irish affairs is hardly over. For example, we followed the second vote on the Lisbon Treaty, which took place last Friday. (The referendum passed.)
For good reasons, then, we will continue to write about Ireland.
In a moment of serendipity, our staff developed the following brand during a seminar on branding at the Bastelengebläers HQ:
To launch the brand, the staff chose a tasty sample to whet your appetite for old stories from our time in Ireland. The following photo from the mean streets of South Dublin contains shocking content, so you may want to send the children to play outside before you scroll down.

Okay, maybe that photo isn’t staggering. Let’s zoom in a little — scroll down to see the shocking close-up.

That’s a Missouri license plate! In Ireland! (Is your mind boggling?) Let’s go to the CSI-cam for the incontrovertible proof that will impel the perp to confess spontaneously, er, I mean, that will help you understand our shock at the time.
Anita and Will spent the next hour speculating about the means, motive and opportunity that would bring a car from Missouri to Dublin, Ireland. Not to mention the hazards of being on the wrong driver’s side. And is a Missouri plate even legally meaningful in Ireland?
That’s it for today. You can look forward to posts in the future about:
- Things we miss about Ireland and from Ireland, such as: lamb on the grill, super-sugary chocolates, clear skies just moments after rain, the oceanfront at Dublin Bay.
- Photosets that somehow failed to make it to Flickr
- Minor adventures in the Irish countryside
- and probably
much muchnot much more!
