simonmaher bus

You may recall last week’s soft-core, then orange-coloured 1984 D635 parked at the Malahide, Co Dublin, beach terminus.

Well, the bus went on to have several lives as a ‘mature’ double decker.

Before radio’s Simon Maher (above) and Steve Conway fell for the x-rated charms of the retro bone rattler.

Simon sez:

Following on from your picture of myself and Steve Conway’s bus, This is her (centre) taken this week as she awaits restoration to her former glory :)  Capital D [presented By Ann Cassin] also did an item on her (video above).

 

Filthy.

French Canadian folk singer Alexis Normand makes a cringeworthy bags of the American National Anthem before the 2013 Memorial Cup game between the Portland Winterhawks and the Halifax Mooseheads.

Thinking she’d memorised the Star Spangled Banner correctly, she went wrong after the third line, filling in with gibberish to bridge to the finale.

Afterwards, mortified, she took to Twitter to apologise, the pet.

Paddy Cahill of Cycling With sez:

Gul is an Architect and she also lectures in architecture at Queens University, Belfast. We joined Gul for a cycle from her home in Rathgar to University College Dublin where she does research at the Humanities Institute of Ireland. Along the way we talked about growing up in Turkey, living as an expat in the USA, The Netherlands and Ireland, and her special interest in the relationship between architecture and film.

exo

Bolton Street product design student Henry Daly writes:

I am trying to promote this project at the moment and hopefully get a job off the back of it some day. If you could post it on Broadsheet it would be great.

Say no more, Henry.

From the video description:

Exo is an electric off-road vehicle for recreational use on dirt, sand and gravel. The aim of the project is to merge man and machine providing a deeply immersive driving experience. The vehicle leans during cornering connecting body motion to vehicle motion and allows a higher maximum cornering speed. The birdcage frame is fabricated from Aluminium tubing. Power comes from a 10kW DC brushless motor run from a Lithium Ion Battery pack.

Do you care for the recently-ended The (American) Office at all?

Do you favour the out-takes genre?

Do you have the guts of two hours to spare for all the bloopers from series 2-8?

Wildlife cameraman Brad Josephs sez:

When using a GoPro to capture unusually close footage of grizzly bears for the Great Bear Stakeout for BBC, I had a young bear actually chew on the camera. Amazingly there was no damage to the camera! Some of this clip appears in the film Great Bear Stakeoout on BBC and Discovery Channel.

Warning: Grizzly bears do not floss.
