Though the landing was quite a close call,
Our robot’s there for the long haul,
Barring unforeseen strife,
We’ll find signs of life,
And not end up like Total Recall.

The window of a ‘carpets and furniture’ shop in Tullamore [Co Offaly] on the way back from Castlepalooza. Some of the dolls are hanging by their necks and others upside down by their feet. I still don’t understand and it scares me.

the Fish Processing position in South Kerry where I work.
While I am probably flogging a dead horse here, this is, in my opinion a worse example. A flagrant abuse of the internship scheme. I know this shop in Tralee town and basically this position is as a store attendant. Simple as. This is NOT an internship. It is free labour.
Can anything be done to stop this? Really?
