Some fairly sad looking Olympic rings I spotted in the window of The Big Tree on Dorset St [Dublin].
We’re eating ours on that metal grid.

What you may need to know.
1. All right, the show’s been hit and miss of late, but Matt Smith is still a GREAT Doctor Who, and you do get the odd gem, like last year’s Neil Gaiman episode.
2. The first episode of the new season is entitled Asylum Of The Daleks.
3. This year each episode is self-contained: no two-parters, no confusing story arcs. We like it.
4. Also, they’re FINALLY getting rid of annoying couple Rory & Amy. For good, this time.
5. Don’t worry, The Doctor’s already sorted for a new assistant. She used to be in Emmerdale.
6. The new series features everybody from Mark ‘Fast Show’ Williams and Diana Rigg to Stephen Berkoff and Dublin’s very own Liam Cunningham. Plus Weeping Angels!
7. 2013 is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. We’re excited. They had better get Eccleston and Tennant back, for starters.
Broadcast Date: From August 25 (US August 27)
Oh.
Thanks Philip Ellis

Purchased the kid’s new uniform yesterday, to be greeted with the attached brand. The inside label reveals – ‘Trampass Sports – Styled in Ireland’. Hmmm.

Enda in a few years or Missouri Republican Senate candidate Todd Adkins?
We may never know.

This is a little A3 poster I created of Ireland’s toughest gal to excite the troops. I hope this poster can bring a tiny amount of the happiness Katie has brought to this country.

Bernard Carroll rightly laments the replacement of a King George-era post-box at Lower George’s Street, Dublin, with a new one. With respect, I can go one better. At the junction of Galway’s High Street and Shop Street, there stood an ancient hexagonal-pillar postbox with a decorative top, dating from the early Victorian era and surely of historic interest. It was damaged a few years ago and never replaced; the pillar was sheared fairly cleanly at the base. The whereabouts of this artefact, which I am certain could be reinstalled and kept in service, is seemingly unknown.So where is it? And why hasn’t it been repaired?
Anyone?
