I’m back from the wedding in Dublin and can tell you that everything I’d heard about the charm of the Irish was true. Everyone I met and spoke to was warm, kind and friendly and added to the wonderful time I had at the wedding. I’ll be putting up loads of posts soon on the places I visited, but looking through all the photos I realised how many I had taken at the National Wax Museum. Before I write up my description of it, I thought I’d test you to see how many of these eight waxworks you can guess. I’ll put the answers up tomorrow so feel free to make your suggestions below. As a final note, a reminder that not all of the famous people are Irish, and are a mix of artists, sports stars, writers and film characters.

Wow… they’ve ever less convincing than Madame Tussauds. Lol!
It was a random collection for sure. I wasn’t sure why Jedward and John Major were there. Did you get the third one? That’s the one I’ve heard five different answers for.
Is it George Best?
That’s the fifth one yeah. The third one had quite a few stumped. I really don’t think the fifth one looks like who he meant to much at all.
Oh I misread. Silly me. Erm… Kylie?
Got it in one. I’ve heard everything from Leona Lewis to Mel B.
They are all Dire Straits
That would be Money for Nothing 😉
🙂
Interesting collection, glad that you’re back.
Thanks dude. You ever been to Ireland?
Ive never been, but I may decide to in the future.
I hope you get to go. I plan on trying to persuade you and others over my next few posts.
Will be sure to take note.
Oscar Wilde
You got it 🙂 Ireland has sure had a lot of talented writers.
As I know you’re a Bond fan, please check my Spectre review.
It’s the reason I’ve been staying away from your site ha. I expect to see it this weekend. Was in Dublin last weekend so well behind.
Oh I get it, you don’t want to read any reviews til you’ve seen it.
Exactly, yeah. I’m still not sure what to think of the new Bond song. Not as good as Adele’s, but then who is?
Once you’ve seen it, we can have an interesting conversation.
I look forward to it.
Me too.
