The Stone Twins (Amsterdam based Dublin creatives) have created their own St Patrick’s Day parade of some usual suspects….

This weekend you’d best not be seen,
Wearing anything other than green,
Or else you might miss,
A chance of a kiss,
With an equally hammered colleen.

A visualisation created from real data by UK air traffic control provider NATS, whose Paul Beauchamp sez:
It’s an amalgamation of two data sources – UK radar data from 21 June and European flight plan information from 28 July – and it clearly highlights the structure of airspace across the continent. A few highlights include the North Atlantic tracks that connect Europe with North America, the airways that run up the spine of the UK, the holding stacks at London’s capacity stretched airports and the military manoeuvres off Anglesey in Wales.
“A car has been driven through the perimeter fence and main entrance of Quinn Packaging in Derrylin [Co Fermanagh] tonight (Thursday) before being set alight in another major attack on the Aventas Group. A Garda Siochana car is also at the scene. The registration of the car used in the attack is POB 1, a clear reference to Aventas Chief Executive Paul O’Brien.”
