subconscious swastika art

[Noisybast]

Does it say bad things about me that I always thought there was a subconscious swastika in this Nemesis piece?

That's Hitler's little known laundrette. He's only got one, in Ballsbridge.

Funnily enough, I believe the Swastika Laundry used to be owned by a Jewish family. Obviously it had been established long before the Nazis were using the swastika.

On a related note, I used to live very near Ballsbridge. My address was The Rear, Love Lane, Lower Mount Street. Beat that for vague sexual innuendos.

I have a photo of a swastika mosaic on the floor of the 'House of the Tragic Poet' in Pompeii. Yer actual Nazis reversed and twisted the symbol - it's meant to be straight with the arms going from right to left from the stalks - in other words left facing. It's a Sun symbol IIRC.

Just down the road from Le Coq Hardy hotel, I believe! I worked on Lower Mount Street, when I first moved to Dublin back in '94. Sadly, I didn't work for a company called 'Hugh Janus and Son, Chocolate Starfish Stuffers To The Queen (novelty confectionary by Royal Appointment'', or similar. Then the circle would truly be complete.
