Question of the day
Senators will have to move to the Natural History Museum while reconstruction work takes place on Leinster House - is this because neither Fossett’s Circus or Jim Henson’s studio were available?

Nice one Chane and quick off the mark. I thought they moved to the Natural History Museum because that’s where that undemocratic chamber should be consigned.
(And other such Merrion Square-based jibes. )

Comment by Damien Mulley | February 15, 2008 at 9:12 ami’d like to think it’s because neither Fossett’s Circus nor Jim Henson’s Studio would have them-
Comment by David | February 15, 2008 at 9:21 amThey have standards to uphold-
isn’t there reconstruction work taking place on the museum too?
Comment by UnaRocks | February 15, 2008 at 10:06 amIf only Emmet Stag was a senator. Though I suppose he’s suffered enough with puns what with all those deer in the Phoenix Park.
Comment by Steve K | February 15, 2008 at 10:17 amToo few of the members of the Seanad have a full vaccination’s history to be allowed into Fossett’s and speaking after a hastily arranged chapel meeting of the staff of Jim Henson productions, Elmo, Fozzy bear and the Bald Eagle said that any such association would almost certainly result in their work being ridiculed.
Ed note: Kermit as most know left last year to work on a Web 2.0 project (which is failing badly) and Ms. Piggy is in and out of rehab.
Comment by Dan Sullivan | February 15, 2008 at 11:11 amDo people really pay attention to the Seanad, regardless of where it is?
Make them convene up at The Hell Fire Club, I say.
Comment by Sinead | February 15, 2008 at 11:25 amSinead, I’m afraid I have to plead guilty to paying attention to it. There again I’m a fan of Thomas Dolby, the early glam work of Japan and the sporting efforts of Crystal Palace so I’m well used to what are widely termed ‘minority interests’.
Comment by Dan Sullivan | February 15, 2008 at 12:33 pmThe reason why it was chosen is because the museum is an anagram of “Uh, it rum senator asylum”.
Comment by JD | February 15, 2008 at 12:44 pmJD - Well done to you.
Everyone - It won’t surprise any of you to know that our Leters page is being swamped with waggish comments on this subject.
