Storming the GPO….
-
irishshaguaParticipant
Was in town today taking some shite pictures :roll: and seen this fellow perched up on top the GPO. Thought it looked a bit odd….. anyways C&C as always, appreciated.
Oh and if anyone knows why he’s up there I’d love to hear it.
Cheers
BrianlousyParticipantNice and clear Brian and well captured.
Jeez you have me caught with this one as
I’d like to know why also.
Is he a soldier??
Looks like a camo jacket :?Pat
irishshaguaParticipantyeah defo a soldiew. Looked like he had a bit of radio equipment up there also. Looked pretty unusual to see him peeking out and moving around up there. Didn’t really have time to stick around see what he was doing.
nfl-fanParticipantIs there an Easter Parade this weekend, maybe even a Republican type thing? Could be security related?
lousyParticipantRemindes me of this one .. on top of thr White House in 2006.. holiday of a lifetime.. still payin for it :wink:
Pat
irishshaguaParticipanthaha, I was thinking of the white house while I was taking the picture Pat. Did you get a nice little talking to by some NSA guys for taking snaps of the White House?
lousyParticipantJasus no, that was taken waaay back on Pennsilvania Ave and I’m surprised it came out so well as it was taken with a Kodak fixed lens compact. Really a toy to what s going around here. But turned out some good stuff.

plainoldmeMemberSgt_MajorMemberHi Brian,
you got a 100% crop of the guy himself?
Camo pattern looks irish army, but hard to see at this size…
The radio equipment to his left looks military standard too, and the headset definitely is.
Cheers

lousyParticipantDeffo Irish all right but can’t make out his rank.. probably Cpl.
Might have something to do with what nfl said all right.
PatSgt_MajorMemberIn Irish army, 3 stripes is sgt … but the stripes are chevron’d:
Which make his look a little odd.
Looks like he’s just testing radio comms, as I see no other gear/weapon – as nfl says, it’s probably advance setup for Easter…
