PricewaterhouseCoopers in Bangkok, Thailand; advert for job at PwC in Bangkok

David writes:

“I noticed the following role for “Office Boy” by PwC accountants in Thailand. This could be seen as ageist and sexist, but hey it’s not in a first world country. I thought it was interesting that reputable companies are happy to act like this in other countries.”

Anyone?

Building relationships, creating value?

Moore Street, Dublin 1, in 1972

“I took these photos in 1972 in the street market in Moore St in Dublin.

“Urban renewal was gathering pace and the ILAC Centre was being planned and people wondered about the future for these street traders.

“Well, after 47 years the end is nigh, so here is my salute to these tough resilient women – my mother shopped in Moore Street when I was growing up.”

Spaghetti Hoop asks:

Is that Éilish a Dó there with the plastic headscarf (pic 3)?

Anyone?

Meanwhile, Spaghetti Hoop adds:

‘1972 is before my time but in the 1980s, my mum parked quite handily (and free) on Moore Lane on a Saturday and we gathered veg and fruit from the Moore Street gals on the way back to the car after a day of shopping and a jorum + Cidona in Madigan’s.

Never bought the meat; bluebottles crawling all over it in the Moore Street butchers.

‘Course at Hallow’een time, my pockets were full of bangers, crackers and stink bombs: WMD for the 31st. Fruitful times…’

Dublin Editor of The Irish Times Olivia Kelly reports:

Dublin City Council has denied it paid protection money to two west Dublin criminals to stop violence and intimidation at social housing construction sites in the Ballyfermot area.

…In a statement on Wednesday the council said it “does not condone the payment of protection money by any of its contractors” and “no payments were made by the City Council to the individuals concerned”.

Yesterday: I Know Nothing

Londis, 49 Grafton Street, Dublin 2 was served with a closure order last month after a dead rat was founder under its deli counter

You don’t want a dead rat by your feet
When you’re going for something to eat
So delis like those
Are now forced to close
Until they’re clean, tidy and neat
