    What a work of genius. Even Ian Dempsey recited a bit of it one morning - and I don't think it's even a Today FM client. It's an institution really. I'm from Cork - only in Dublin the last couple of years. But even I knew it before I moved up. Truly art at this stage. Must be doing the rounds about 25 years by now?
    The Cork equivalent: "Wi-ilton Centre: the very best of everything" - not a patch on it.

    "Northside *boom boom*. Northside *boom boom*. The great big shopping centre." As I said, art.

    To make your trip more adventerous walk home via the underground tunnel back to the flats on a dark October night ;)

    Useless fact:The girl that did the ad is now living in Dalkey on the back of all the royalties :)
