Viva Las Vevay…?

Viva Lost Wages

ometimes, given the strange and deranged Trumpian times that we live in, you can’t be quite sure when something’s the real deal or Brexit…

Such is the case with a front-page ad on The Bray Mick recently.

The message was simple. Would you like to see Bray become the new Las Vegas?

Hey, it’s got the beach, it’s got the old amusements strand, and it could do with the moolah.

Just how high this idea will actually fly is hard to gauge, but, you would imagine that the powers that be in Bray Town Council aren’t too keen to have their seafront holiday destination become the gambling capital of Ireland.

It’s no coincidence that, as Sir Steely of Dan pointed out, Las Vegas rhymes so succulently with Lost Wages.

With the voting site, braycasino.com, now registered for 8 months and 1 week, it would appear the people behind this idea mean business. Lots of business, if they can help it.

Heading over to vote, it’s impossible to tell just how many people have responded to their police siren call. All you can tell is that, as of today, 53.62318840579711% say Yes, whilst 46.3768115942029% say Nay.

Not sure what the long, long percentage numbers mean, other than, hey, let’s make it look like millions of feckers voted.

Still, might be nice to have somewhere to go and spend all that loose pocket money and alluring college funds.

And, fittingly, that temptation would be just over the hill…
