Dyeing the liffey blue all year round

Adolf Hipster

Roses are red
Water is blue
dubs are dirty bastards
and so are you.

Just clean the f*cking thing. I'd rather it be green and clean, then blue and still have all that other sh!te that you tend to see in it. It's filthy and looks like sewege. People would think we just dump all our crap into it and are happy about it.

Turn on your tap. Tell me if the stuff that comes out is blue.

Water IS blue, but the colour is so faint that you need substantial volumes of the stuff to see the blue, like in a swimming pool or a large tank in an aquarium.

The Liffey may not have an alluring colour but it is pretty clean these days compared to the 1970s and 80s when, as that Bagatelle song goes, "it stank like hell.":pac:

City council should do much more to clear the river bed of shopping trollies, road cones, bikes and other assorted junk. It doesn't look good at low tide.

It can be transparent and have colour, to be truly clear it wouldn't reflect light so wouldn't have a colour.

What colour is the wind...........daddy ?

My name is URL

I think the government should just drug the OP so that he sees everything as being blue

Dry ice. Wet water. Moist moisture.

No it's not. Pour yourself a glass of water and tell me what colour it is.

I THINK it is this time of year you will see them going up the river from any of the city bridges.

Summer salmon (or Grilse as they are known) are probably easier to spot in the city rivers. I regularly see them in the Lee in Cork downstream of the bridges. Although they have a lovely silver colour when out of the water, in the water they have a brown back. Very common if you know what you're looking for.

It is clean. What do you tend to see in it? Last year I saw an otter a few minutes from the city centre. They need fish, fish need clean water.. work it out.

I think we should paint all the junkies faces blue , it would be nice and they wouldnt even notice.

I often wonder how many layers of shopping trolleys and bicycles are in the silt banks and river bed of the Liffey. I mean, there must be bloody bicycles burried down there from 100 years ago!

And slaughter those feck'in seagulls. with their precision guided bird turds.

being shat on by a bird if am not mistaken of peoples superstitions is supposed to be lucky ,if are being shat on by them on a regular basis perhaps they are trying to spread extra luck or are under a 'hit' contract within the seagull underworld.

more likely we need a organised cull of humans-they knowingly spread more crap & disease than anyone else and will quite often call lesser developed more vulnerable species such as rats and pigeons the vermin for unknowingly doing the same thing when they do not have the understanding nor facilities to help themselves.


as for the liffey dyeing,we have our own dyeing system in place in the manchester ship canal,its called pollution dumping, shopping trolleys ,burnt out cars and all sorts of other manky water reactive crap that currently sleeps with the non existant fishes.
its a bit like one of those hypercolor tshirts,it changes colour depending on the heat and sunlight direction.:pac:

Urban myth. It is actually blue.

A dyed blue river running through the city would look strange, the rivers fine as is and seems fairly clean already.Leave it be.:)

I just have to mention here that dry ice is frozen Carbon Dioxide, so not water....

Whatever about dying it; they could clean it up. It's a wonderful natural resource in the City which would look great it taken care of. Particularly up near Huston where the level is quite low and has yukky muck bank with trollys showing.

I always found it odd that it wasn't better looked after.
