We're a Couple of Swells

    Just because they are well dressed, it doesn't mean they are trustworthy gentlemen. They might be members of the "Swell Mob" (a true tale of daylight robbery involving Inspector Barefoot of B division, a small boy and a £30 note).
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Spooner Oh for the days when one used public transport to be conveyed to one's residence... Brava Mrs Wells for "collaring" Swell Thompson, and Inspector Barefoot?! Were your Couple of Swells sent to Australia?
  • John Spooner said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Yes, ten years transportation. I reckon there's enough material in Inspector Barefoot's career, as seen in court reports of the 1830s, for a BBC period detective drama.

    The bust on the right might provide a clue, unless they are in the habit of moving busts around at Trinity College Library.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Michiel2005 I'd doubt that they do! Presuming this is Socrates?
  • Michiel2005 said:
    Possibly, but I suppose you have to visit TCL to be absolutely sure. Pictures of the Long Room are rare on the internet (as photography is not allowed there) and I don't remember it from my visit.
  • Swordscookie said:
    Tunney was very likely to visit the long room and would not have been out of place there at all at all!! Famously while training for his great battle against Jack Dempsey one of the great US boxing writers found him reading Shakespeare and wondered if it was just for effect? It wasn't! Tunney was intelligent, literate and very well read and more than just a bruiser. He has lots of relatives still in Ireland and they're no "daws" either!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie And from what I read about him in the Irish Independent reports of the visit, he was also very shy and quiet, hence not easy to interview for the newsmen who were far more used to very extrovert sportsmen...
