The Derry Hump


End of Irish Skate story 1989The Ireland article draws to a close with a Bloblands-type hump in Derry and a Wendy House in a ramp.

With its maniac skaters, novel spots and macabre sights, Dublin, and the Isle as a whole, gave the impression that anyone failing to have a good time here would probably be the sort who wouldn’t come here in the first place. And if they did they’d probably ruin it. So don’t go to Ireland, stay for a while — if you get my drift.

CAPTIONS:
Wurzel. Nightime Dublin streets
Another use for a ramp. Home sweet (Wendy) home. But living under ramps for real is not unheard of.
The Derry hump — it’ll dry

  1. I remember this really clearly. I,m the guy on the last page ( The Derry Hump ). Just our luck, the R.A.D guys and Wurzel show up and it just pissed down, all day!.

    I know you can find anything on the WWW but to find this gem… Good memories.
