My girlfriend found a substantial(ish) amount of money (substantial for the normal Joe that is) this morning at  8:30 around the IFSC area in dublin. Looks like someone might have been taking something out of their pocket and the cash just fell out.

We would like to return the money to its owner if possible.To filter our chancers emails should be sent to ifscmoneyfound@gmail.com with
– the sum of money lost
– the denomination of notes
– where (roughly) it was lost.

 

Everyone Anyone?

Perishing drug-addled, dance-crazed tykes.

Rachel Mathews-McKay, co-oordinator of Future Matters, the youth & community network group in the Seanad Reform campaign. writes:

This week at ‘Against the Grain’, Dublin marked the official start of a radical campaign. Radical because we ‘re a non-partisan, diverse, mixed background group of young people.

We’re energised and enthusiastic about about being heard, being counted and we’re stepping up to the politicians and political spin doctors who have never rated young, community driven voices interested in shaping, re shaping and reforming the mechanisms of power for us, the future of Ireland.

The Seanad Reform debate is far from over and abolition isn’t a full-drawn conclusion, but people need to be ready, willing and able to tell the Government that it won’t just roll over for its ‘pulled out of the sky’ and ill-conceived plans. Especially not ones that would damage democracy, silence independent voices and tighten the Dail whip.

Seanad Reform makes more sense both ideologically, democratically and even financially, a real debate will prove that.

I know you don’t normally do this but it was worth a lot to me. That tag from the saddle was on it when it was stolen as was a few other numbers on stickers on the crossbar. It is a Specialized Allez 2012 model. White drop down handlebars and very red frame. What might be a giveaway would be there is no cap on the rear typre valve. Small but distinct fact. Thank you.

mecha2exo2

The Powered Jacket MK5 by Japanese company Sagawa Electronics – 12.5 million yen’s worth of teen-protecting mecha-goodness and the single best promotional video you’ll see for a thing that couldn’t possibly be real.

And yet the ‘manufacturer’ has already planned a live public demonstration at Wonder Festival 2013 at the end of this month.

So there’s that, too.
