“Coffee and croissant €8.45 in Gresham Hotel. A new type of O’Connell Street mugging.”
Yikes.

Rews – Death Yawn
John Glennon writes:
Rews is an Irish/London based high energy alt-rock duo consisting of songstress Shauna Tohill (Irish) and beat-maker Collette Williams (London).
Shauna is responsible for one of the most recognisable Irish syncs of the last few years with the track ‘Can’t Keep Up’, which she wrote and performed with her previous band Silhouette, (used by Discover Northern Ireland).
Collette is also a hugely talented vocalist and musician and can be seen drumming in the video for Gabrielle Aplin’s current hit single ‘Sweet Nothing’.

Computer nerds?
A logarithmic depiction of the known universe by musician and artist Pabloi Carlos Budassi using deep space photographs collected from NASA pieced together to form a map where each consecutive ‘ring’ represents several orders of magnitude further than the adjacent one nearer the centre.
The image was inspired and informed by similar (but less impressive) images created at Princeton University in 2005.
Giant version here.

The price of hooch and soft drinks at the Dáil bar.
And they give credit.
John Gallen writes:
Even at these prices there is €28,642 owed to the Dáil bar [as of November 17, 2015] by 121 TDs and senators and there’s one TD out there who owes the Dáil bar €2,500…
If the Dáil sat 123 days in 2015, as it did in 2014, that’s about €20.32 for every day sat. I hope there was food in that bill…
