I remember my granny having one and somehow have the impression that they were a kind of classic thing you'd see back in the sixties in people's living rooms - like, say, flying ducks? Point is, I'm trying to get my hands on one but a) can't remember what exactly the pose was and b) whether I just imagined it!
So: were they like the 'flying ducks' of Irish working class homes, or am I talking sh*te? Cheers!

Firstly lad the movie: “Trainspotting” publicised that expletive you so cunningly disguised. Are you really from the Emerald Isle -using the Scottish vernacular? Well talk about coincidence! I can't spell synchronicity being an ex-colonial reject.
Today I was reading the book: “Cassandra at his finest and funniest.” In his column June 25, 1963 he mentioned the Kennedy little grey home in the South of Ireland. By white house decree the Kennedy’s ancestral home was located three miles away from New Ross. Plates and pictures of Jackie and JFK almost sunk Eire. If your grandmother had a choice between the home crafts of the island with cute verses like:
“Bless my little kitchen home,
I love its every nook
And bless me as I do my work,
With pots and pans and cook.”
and fake O’Kennedy memorabilia I think she made the right choice.
You are not hallucinating, the O'Kennedy stuff was pervasive. You could get carved K's in blackthorne wood and saucers and plates with JFK's smiling face in black and white. The hand coloured postcards of the O'Kennedy home added a thatched roof and flower beds to a tin roofed shack.

we had a picture of jfk, and his brother bobby and underneath that was a picture of elvis, the los vegas years, and then finally pope pious the 12th, on the next piece of wall. SO, we had all the whole package, covered all the angles so to speak. you wont see that now. or maybe you might see afew G.W,bush, pictures beside a german pope, and michael jackson ,underneath. interesting collection that would be.
