I know/ hope broadsheet.ie are fans of Keogh’s crisps so I thought this might be of interest to you. Keogh’s have just launched their new flavour, Keogh’s Irish Atlantic Sea Salt Crisps, made from salt flakes straight out of the Irish Atlantic Sea by the lovely O’Neill Family in West Cork. To ‘launch’ the crisps we all travelled down to visit this beautiful part of the world, meet the family, see how the salt is gleaned from the sea and takes some pics.
Yes, yes, lovely.
You mentioned crisps?
Be sure to let us know if you ever want a hamper of goodies for a competition in the future.
YES!
We have one – yes, it appears to be just ONE – hamper of Keogh’s “goodies” (possibly including the new sea salt ones) to give away in a bracing Thursday competition.

We’ve not heard a protest or squawk,
From the blueshirts who threatened to walk,
Once the X-Case law passes.
Was it just through their asses,
These TDs decided to talk?

A 14m tall 16.7m long inflatable duck created by conceptual artist Florentijn Hofman was towed into Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour this week, and will remain on display there until June, spreading teh happy, unless it’s destroyed by Gojira first.
The artist sez:
The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn’t discriminate people and doesn’t have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!
Thanks Niall O’M
Like totally.

A self-portrait project by animator Kevin McShane, in which he’s drawn himself in the style of 100 different animators from Windsor McCay to Walt Disney, Osamu Tekuza and Pixar.
As commenter Crafty points out, he’s not the first to do this.

Another dispatch in our ongoing love affair with Commander Chris ‘Uncle Chris’ Hadfield, wherein he explains how he takes his photos of planet Earth.
Added bonus – a photo of the moon ushering in the dawn over the US.
His daughter lives in Dublin, don’t you know.
