Meet the world’s proudest Corkman.
Ross Frenett has just posted images from his unique world tour, in which he found tourist spots from Rome to Hollywood, from Alcatraz to London, from Tijuana to the Brandenburg Gate…
…yet never found anywhere quite like Cork.
So much did he miss home, in fact, that he titled this album – in which he appears in some of the most spectacular places on Earth while wearing a certain, famous t-shirt – as ‘Not Cork’.
Here are some of those pictures, along with his captions.
‘Times Square? It’s no Daunt Square’
‘Iraq, it’s no Rathcormac’
‘Big Ben? It’s not Shandon…’
‘Sydney Opera House, not Cork Opera House’
‘Alexander the Great, he’s no Michael Collins’
‘Canadian Parliament? It’s no Cork City Hall’
‘San Diego zoo – not Fota’
‘Alcatraz, tis no Spike Island!’
‘Brandenburg Gate, no Gate Cinema like!’
‘Colosseum? It’s not, well, the Colosseum!’
‘Amalfi Coast? S’not Cobh’
‘Jeremy Corbyn, he’s no Seán Sherlock…’
‘Capitol Hill, it’s no Capital Cinema like…’
‘Space Needle. Not County Hall.’
Hollywood? Sure tis no Hollyhill
‘Dead Sea? It’s not The Lough.’
Oval Bar…That’s Cork!
