Westport's Ugly Christmas Tree

**Thunderblaster** · 06/12/2006, 11:35 PM

The tree withstood the storm and is still intact and looking beautifu with the lights switched on!!

Moral of the story: Anything imposed against the will of the people will get punished

, hence what happened to that ugly, Noddyesque pile of junk two weeks ago. I hope that the French are smashing it to pieces. One local rumour doing the rounds is that it will cost €30,000 to repair the tree

. That is something that Eddie Hobbs may have to investigate!!

As the christmas decorations are put up by the town council, all eyes are now focused on the Octagon as there is increasing speculation that the Noddyesque ugly piece of thrash is being erected this year. The town is holding its breath and if that eyesore of a disgusting, expensive piece of aesthetic refuse is erected, I hope that there will be tornadoes, lightning or any natural phenomena that will flatten it!! Shame on Westport Town Council!!

Heard on the radio this morning we've got ourselves a recycled tree in Limerick made out of scrap metal

its got energy saving bulbs apparantly powered by a mini wind turbine which has replaced the conventional star at the top

**Thunderblaster** · 23/11/2007, 7:19 PM

My worst fears have been confirmed after the base of the artificial tree was assembled on the Octagon today, It is grotesquely abhorrent, unbelievably stomach churning, frankly bizarre and firmly unprecedented to see such a reviled sight being about to be imposed on the local populace again. Shame on WTC and most people in Westport hate the tree and the people deserve better from the same organisation.

Boys and girls, the tree, described by a Mayo News journalist as infamous, is well on its way to completion, The beautiful, tranquil settings of the Octagon is being butchered by an abomination of grotesque proportions!!

Looking at the tree now makes me want to vomit!!

Maybe, Noddy should switch on the horrible tree and then poke fun at it!!

**Thunderblaster** · 30/11/2007, 8:46 PM

The glorious defenders of that repulsive, artificial, thrashy, noddyesque heap of scrap can now dance a jig as the ever so disgusting, stomach turning, vomit inducing tree is now completed and us poor citizens of Westport have to put up with the rotten thing until after the 6th January at the earliest. I just cringe looking at the dirty thing!!

Last year was the wind, we nearly hit the jackpot with lightning today.

Pity it didn't hit the tree but there were nearly red faces as the power cut from the thunderstorm could have had serious implications for the switching on ceremony.

Can I obtain permission to rename my thread to Westport's Ugly Christmas Tree?

That pile of crap dominated the skyline last Christmas, but this year, the pile of crap is dysfunctional as a number of the lights are not working, making that embarrassing to the WTC, and acts as a bit of a karma against what is supposed to be a "tree". One of the WTC Outdoor staff goes nearly orgasmic over the tree. Still hate that tree as much as ever.
