A GoCar swipe card (top) and two of the 50 GoCar vehicles available to hire by the hour at a this-changes-everything launch outside the Mansion House, Dawson Street, Dublin, this afternoon.
Hiring a GoCar will cost between €3-6 per hour and Barrow Street, Stoneybatter and Arran Quay are among the 31 GoCar locations in Dublin.
And the best part?
Members won’t be charged at any pay-and-display parking space “as this is covered by the permit fee GoCar pays to [Dublin City] council”.
Clever.

The new Strypes song is out. Video is pretty great by a another Cavan lad [Finn Keenan]. Loads of young Irish talent to celebrate…
G’wan the Cavanbeat.

DCTV says:
“We attended the official reception put on for them at the Mansion House by the Lord Mayor. We were lucky enough to gauge the thoughts of the Lord Mayor, Oisin Quinn and the coordinator of the Longford Street Soccer League, Antem Eyong.”
G’wan the lads.

Is there ANYTHING they won’t do for the craic?

Not sure if you are interested but the Wicklow Regatta [Until August 5] has some interesting choice of performers for the singing pubs in Wicklow Town and Rathnew this year….
Savile via Rathnew House
Blackface via Doyle’s

A poorly-applied blackface showband at another Regatta party (location unknown).

Yoga at Sandymount Strand, Dublin.
They call that position (top) the ‘upwardly mobile new ager’.

Two months ago I decided to pack in my day job to follow my dream to become a full time yoga teacher. I have got a great response so far and I’m so grateful to all my students who come to my classes every week. I think your readers would like this little video I made of an outdoor yoga class on Sandymount strand (I run a similar class on Dollymount beach too) I started running two weeks ago. Lets hope the weather stays somewhat agreeable so we can all enjoy our beautiful city in the sun!
Update:
