It is one of the world’s great statues and on a similar theme to the better known Manneken Pis in Brussels – the Prague statue ‘Piss’.
You’ll no doubt go to the Astronomical Clock when you’re there and it is worth it, although hellishly busy.
But you should have a ‘Piss’ stop at the statue outside the Kafka Museum near the river.
David Cerny erected (sorry, I should probably say built here) ‘Piss’ as a satirical statement against politicians in 2004.
The fountain’s basin is made of bronze and shaped like the Czech Republic.

The two mechanical men stand in the fountain, opposite one another, 6 ft 11 in tall with bronze penises, urinating.
Every country should have its own Piss statue and demand that politicians visit.
And why am I telling you this? Because Click&Go has three nights in Prague in November from €189pp http://www.clickandgo.com.
And also because I can reprise my Prague article… https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/2019/06/24/czech-it-out-2/
Corfu love island

I was spoken for, but that didn’t stop the keyboard singer at the bar who was glancing our way on our honeymoon in Corfu.
The besotted newly titled Mrs M drew my attention to the singer’s attentions.
With the ouzo filling my bladder I then had cause to pass the crooner by on the way to the rest room .
Where I noticed they were still smiling at me on my way back.
At which point I needed to inform my new wife: ‘Sorry, he’s not looking at you, it’s me he likes!’
Again, I’m only telling you this as a lead-in to an offer. TUI http://www.tui.com has seven nights S/C at the 2* Ekati 2, Kavos from €399pps, departing Dublin on September 13.
Which corresponds with our 25th wedding anniversary.
I love Malta

You’d think that there was an imaginary hand of fate at play… or that the Scary One has been phoning around my Travel buddies.
Malta was where on a hot, hot day, I bent down in exhaustion and she screamed YES.
We were particularly taken by Malta’s smaller sister island of Gozo.
Now I’m going to fly a kite here and suggest that the Scary One would like to return. And fly a kite…
The second edition of the Gozo International Kite and Wind Festival will take place there form October 18-20.
Concorde Travel http://www.concordetravel.ie has seven nights B&B at the 4* Seashells Resort, Qawra for €599, depart Dublin on October 14.
Or you can depart Cork on October 17 and stay at the 4* all-inclusive Seabank Resort & Spa, Mellieha for €769.
And they’re off

It was from my Dear Old Dad that I inherited the love of sport. That said neither of us got motor racing.
Apart from commonly repeated allusion I never heard him show any interest in the sport, and I use that term loosely.
The one reference point he had was in his common jibe at my Mum’s driving: ‘Stirling Moss,’ he would shriek and laugh uproariously.
He always enjoyed his own jokes, though my sainted Mum never did see the funny side.
As Formula 1 returns after its midseason break and Lewis Hamilton has a procession to his 72nd title it’s as well to flag up a motor racing holiday thrill.
Cassidy Travel http://www.cassidytravel.ie/ (01) 6265100 has a three-night break to PortAventura World Salou. And of course Ferrari Land.
From €245pps based on a family of four you will be staying on site in the 4* PortAentura World Salou on a B&B basis.
With entry to the theme park for the duration plus one day in Ferrari Land.
Flights from Dublin to Barcelona, part October 20.
