Only Robbie could get away with a song about fucking someone till they literally die, till their body stiffens round the dampening remains of his electro-tinged stiffy.

The band are painful, perpetual over-reachers, always climbing towards a climax that'll never come because there's so little blood in them they can't even get a stiffy in the first place, let alone gear towards anything even vaguely resembling a fuck.

A prominent member of the Pelican Club, J. D. "Stiffy" Halliday was a close friend of Galahad Threepwood, who was best man at his wedding and was made godfather on the birth of his son Johnny. Halliday is famous for having knocked down the Duke of Dunstable with a cold turkey, during an altercation at Romano's about the apostolic claims of the church of Abyssinia. Like many of his fellow-Pelicans, Stiffy generally presented a rather weary aspect to the world, looking like he had slept in his clothes and hadn't had time to shave. Also like so many of his cronies, he didn't make it past his early forties, leaving Johnny to fend for himself, with Gally's capable help.

Seppings plays himself as well as Bertie's Aunt Dahlia, the genial, loud-voiced woman who employs Seppings; Roderick Spode, a crony of Bassett and aspiring dictator; Constable Oates, the local policeman who feuds with Stiffy Byng over her dog; Butterfield, the polite butler employed by Bassett; and an unnamed antique- shop proprietor who sells a cow-creamer to Bassett.

Some opposition initially greeted the monument. Supporters compare it to other initially unpopular urban structures such as the Eiffel Tower, while detractors complain that the Spire has little architectural or cultural connection to the city. It has inspired a number of nicknames, as is common with public art in Dublin, including the nail in the Pale, the stiletto in the ghetto, the pin in the bin, the spike, the spire in the mire, the stiffy by the Liffey, and the erection at the intersection.

The Stranger film critic, Andrew Wright described it as “like a belch in church (in the best possible way)” All films that screen at STIFF receive a one-of a kind award called a “STIFFY”. Past STIFFIES run the gamut from “Best Buddy Movie”, to “Hottest Zombie”.

The daughter of Sir Watkyn Bassett and the cousin of Stephanie "Stiffy" Byng, Madeline has golden hair, a treacly voice, a tinkling, silvery laugh and when she sighs, it sounds "like the wind going out of a rubber duck".Garrison (1991), p. 10.Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 10, p. 112. Bertie Wooster describes her in Right Ho, Jeeves as "a pretty enough girl in a droopy, blonde, saucer-eyed way but not the sort of breath-taker that takes the breath", though elsewhere he describes her as "physically in the pin-up class".Wodehouse (2008) [1934], Right Ho, Jeeves, chapter 1, p. 19.Wodehouse (2008) [1971], Much Obliged Jeeves, chapter 1, p. 9.

Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 12, Melbourne University Press, 1990, p. 365. ISSN 1833-7538 The pair danced and sang, and for someone who looked like a wharfie (with his barrel chest and short legs) Wallace was surprisingly acrobatic and light on his feet, and the public loved him for his slapstick style and everyman appeal. Turning solo, Wallace was soon snapped up by the Fuller circuit in Sydney and from there he moved to the Tivoli Theatre circuit.

From its foundation in 1897, up until the 1960s, Ayr was a "junior" club, playing mainly in the Western Union. However, during the 1950s it gradually improved its fixture list in the old Unofficial Championship. War-time "cap" Jock "Stiffy" McClure was a regular in Inter-City games while Ayr regularly provided players to the combined Ayrshire-Renfrewshire side, which played Glasgow in trial games from which the Glasgow Inter-District squad was chosen. Ayr had a particularly good record in the Glasgow & District Knock-Out Cup, going head-to-head with the leading Glasgow clubs. In 1960, Ayr winger Jim Black was chosen for the Inter-City match, a rare honour for a player not with an Unofficial Championship club.
