Around 10.30pm Saturday night on Lombard Street West, Dublin, we heard what sounded like a wheelie bin falling over. Nope, it was a car on its side. Nobody injured. Seems like they were driving slowly and managed to drive up a parked car and topple their own car on its side. We helped the guys out of the car. Gardai on the scene within a few minute. Strange sight on a narrow urban street.
10pm last night.

Nice work, BBC subtitles department.
Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Pat Rabbitte was responding to comments made on the issue in an RTÉ interview by Cardinal Seán Brady.
When asked how the Church would react if the Government decided to legalise the carrying-out of abortions in this State, the Cardinal said it would launch a “media campaign” and would also be “lobbying public representatives”.
“I don’t have any objection to any of the churches stating its position and making it clear, but I think it would be a retrogressive step if we were to go back to the days of the Catholic Church dictating to elected public representatives how [they] should address an issue that a very large section of our society believes that governments in the past ought to already have done.”
The Minister then returned to his lunch.
Kidding.

Hi Reddit Photoshop magicians. Well, my grandmother is very ill with alzheimer’s. At her brother’s house, we found this amazing photo. I took a picture with my phone, hoping that someone here would want to retouch it, and maybe add color? Thank you so much for your consideration!
Youtuber IColoredItForYou stepped up, posting not just the repaired, colourised photo, but a video showing how he fixed it.
Mmf.
