Last night.

Demonstrators from the Save Markievicz Pool and Gym campaign group, who marched from the Markievicz Leisure Centre, Luke Street to the Dáil, to protest proposals to demolish the building – which includes a 70-resident apartment complex – for an underground MetroLink station.

A male sewer rat (above) described as having too much Winterspeck – literally ‘Winter bacon’ – attempts to crawl out of a manhole cover in the German town of Bensheim

Some firefighters slid down their pole
To go free a rat from a hole
It was shocked to learn that
It had gained so much fat
And agreed to learn more self control
