Behold: The BMW X Krautmotors Bauhaus 100 F850 GS – a collaboration celebrating 100 years of the 20th century’s most influential design school.
To wit: a stylistic update of the classic 1969 BMW /5 with the slimline engine from the BMW F 850 GS adventure bike all set in a frame designed using Bauhaus principles of handcrafted geometric minimalism.
The bike is fully functional but really only intended as an exhibition piece.
They’re making a film about cats
So they’ve put out a trailer and that’s
Causing fury online
As some think the design
Is so bad that it’s driving them bats

Get your wellies.
KnockanStockan has firmly established itself as the best festival in the land for new music and certainly has the most picturesque setting looking down on the Blessington lakes.
Thanks to my friends at Good Seed PR, I am offering you the chance to win TWO weekend CAMPING passes for the three-day hooley in County Wicklow which starts TOMORROW.
Featuring an eye-watering array of Irish and international acts over multiple stages, including Soda Blonde (ex-Little Green Cars) and ace DJ Donal Dineen, it promises to be one of the highlights of the summer.
To enter simply tell me below about your favourite experience at an Irish music festival over the years. The answer will be chosen by my Burmese cat Peadar.
Lines MUST close at 1am 7.30am.
Nick says: Good luck!
UPDATE: We have a winner

And he should change the title of the portrait to
