Bins of Bray #1

Harmony was restored to the animal kingdom earlier this week as the drumbeat of change rang out from Pride Rock/Bray Head [insert choice analogous Lion King metaphor here]. It has been almost 5 years since the town council, in one of it’s regular sage-like moments, decided to remove the basket drum bins that had lined the full spread of the seafront and protected it from the day tripping litterati since the Pale’rs of the 1300s. The full glory of that decisiveness  was captured and on this blog back in 2009.

But fear not. Scroll on:

To mark and celebrate the long awaited return of Bray’s iconic hardest working bins we are commissioning a regular feature called Bins of Bray. Feel free to sit back, relax and bask in that iconic black plastic bag bobbing in the baskety breeze with the rugged well trodden Bray Head swallowing up the skyline to your hearts content.

Enjoy.

Feel free to send us your champion bins of Bray shots and we will post them up as part of this on going feature to celebrate Bray’s hardest workers to the.vicarofbray@gmail.com or else link them from your own blog in the comments section below.

At least someone noticed..

One has to wonder about the difference between breaking the news and making the news with this one..  Still, hey presto! Stay tuned for more breaking vacuum packed stories in the near unreported future

Bray Tourism does astounding reimaging of Bray in less than six swans

A new advert from braytourism.ie has confirmed recent rumours that their website is the hottest ‘pull’ factor being rolled out in the wake of a tourism lull, the Vicar can report.

In what can only be described as a high-octane and fast paced thrilling sequence of lasting close ups of swans, dogs lightly splashing in water, wind blowing, stones stoning, terse front door soft focus shots, a poignant gutter zoom of the seafront bandstand and an enchanting pan out of cars parked along the Strand Road, this shortfilm is here to stay.

Now set as the exciting must-see short film of the year, it grips and rips the audience and doesn’t let them go until they at least buy a Dart ticket to Bray (single fare as standard – return ticket is okay also). Informing readers by way of a 111 perfect word preface above the short, one concerned commentator to the video’s release added:

This video is a new low by the propaganda spin-doctors that have aligned all of Bray’s contents and tourist venture potential capital to enviro-flipflopping seafront driveling crotch scratching.

Like it or lump it – there really isn’t anything else to add other than watch out world!
