You may recall photographs of little model houses in an empty lot on the corner of Harcourt Road and Richmond Street South [Dublin].
Well.

There has been various instalments since [the houses], but this is what is there now and it caught my attention….. mmm, furry.
Anyone?

“Isn’t it fascinating that you can watch a live stream of Kiev burning on BBC but there’s barely a scrap of data to be found on similar issues happening on the other side of the globe?
One doesn’t diminish the other, neither situation is a happy reality, but perhaps we’re better to know than to feel like the great global mediators want all of us in the English speaking world to concentrate on the potential reformation of the Iron Curtain?”

We all know the Tories have not,
Got a clue how to chat up a Scot,
Their threat with the pound,
Didn’t win any ground,
His own foot was all George Osborne shot.

Remember Eamonn Farrell’s Elements of Nature project?
Well.
His image of a model in the Donegal landscape ‘Escape From The Sea’ (third from the top above) has won 1st place in the Nature and Scenery category and 2nd place overall in the International PhotoShoot Art Nude Awards 2014.

“Ireland’s finest quizzers are heading to Dublin on Saturday, March 8, for the Irish Quiz Organisation’s (IQO) Irish Open 2014, which features both individual and team quiz events.
“The venue is the Addison Lodge in Glasnevin, Dublin. After registration at 10.30am, the quizzing will start with the Irish Open itself, an individual written quiz split into six categories (Art & Culture, Civilisation, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Physical World, Sports & Games).
“This will be followed in the afternoon by the IQO’s monthly “Hot 100” 100-question individual written quiz, which is used to calculate the Irish quiz rankings from which the Irish national teams for the European and Celtic Nations championships are determined.
“The event will end with a fun table quiz with teams made up on the day.
“Entry is open to all, and costs €12. Pre-booking is not required, but entrants are encouraged to email iqo@quizireland.ie if possible so that enough quiz papers can be made available on the day.”
For the weekend that’s in it.
Saturday, 6 February, 1982.
Without a Triple Crown for 33 years, Ireland arrived in the allotment that was the then Twickenham having slayed the Welsh a fortnight previous.
Blind side lightening from MacNeill, balletic sleight of hands between Duggan and Slattery and the wrecking ballin’ Ginger McLoughlin.
Maeve Binchy writing in the Irish Times described the Irish invasion:
“FOR DAYS, they had been coming over. Plane loads of supporters, wrapped in scarves, full of hope and occasionally swinging a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream by the neck as a nice communal drink while on the hoof. The young ones came noisily, singing the first three lines of about 20 songs but not being able to finish any of them.”
