On that note, one of Dublin's other distinctions is that virtually all its monuments have rhyming nicknames, mostly equal parts affectionate and insulting. For instance, there's [[Creator/JamesJoyce the prick with the stick]], [[Creator/OscarWilde the quare in the square]], the tart with the cart[[note]]Molly Malone[[/note]], the floozy in the jacuzzi[[note]]Anna Livia Plurabelle, the personification of the Liffey, who once sat in the middle of O'Connell Street. Now she resides a short distance upriver at Croppies' Acre[[/note]], the hags with the bags[[note]]Officially called "Two Women", it depicts two Dublin women chatting on Lower Liffey St.[[/note]], the crank on the bank[[note]]Poet Paddy Kavanagh[[/note]] and [[Music/ThinLizzy the ace with the bass]]. There was once a statue of UsefulNotes/QueenVictoria, that was kept in a storeroom after independence and eventually gifted to Australia. That one was known as "the aul bitch".

Officially, Dublin celebrated its millenium in 1988, but that was just a brazen excuse to hold a party: the [[HornyVikings Vikings]] established a stronghold in the Liffey River back in 841 (and even before that there was [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eblana Eblana]]). Dublin was an important Hiberno-Norse kingdom for centuries, before the Normans arrived and turned it into the centre of English (and later British) power in Ireland for centuries.
