Last week’s video star here.
Behold: the Hyperion XP-1 Hydrogen Prototype Coupe from a South California company that employs ex-NASA engineers and applies technology used in space exploration, including fuel cells storing energy released from the chemical breakdown of hydrogen. The cells are much lighter than batteries and can be recharged (for a 1,600km range) in about five minutes.
Two electric motors at the rear of the monocoque chassis drive all four wheels, accelerating the XP-1 to 100km/h and on to a top speed of 355km/h.
Stone me.

Today at 4pm we are opening on a first come first served basis. It’s would be our father’s birthday so feels appropriate. It’s a trial run for us and we’re nervous. Please do not be offended if we do not have space to accommodate you! #OpeningDay pic.twitter.com/y8dtQdYkC7

Jinx Lennon – North Louth
Please be seated for the Wee County’s premier punk-poet.
Jinx Lennon (top) takes no prisoners on this Spitfire-tirade about the Louth hinterlands from his wonderfully named new album Border Schizo Fffolk Songs For The Fucked.
Mark E Smith is smiling down from above.
Nick says: Louth and proud.
South William Street, Dublin 2
Cover a street like South William with canvas -its easy to do if you hire event guys -and allow all restaurants to have spaced out seating on the road outside so we can all go into town and relax without being squashed together dangerously. This will last five years so lets go.

A canvas-covered South William Street.
Inventive M*A*S*H-style fun?
Or literal hipster bubble?
It could go either way.
