Fighting his way back.
Thanks Ovalhead
Previously: Guess Who Just Got Back Today
For the last ten years, since a tsunami struck Chennai in India, camera repairman Sekar has been feeding the local population of green parakeets near his home.
Every day he rises at 4am to cook giant pots of rice (on which he spends 40% of his income), serving up to 4,000 birds from a lattice frame set up on the roof of his house.
Now for yeh.
It‘s coming.
Lock up your single people.

Due to air on RTÉ2 in the new year The First Dates restaurant will be filmed in a secret location which will be announced closer to broadcast, where every moment is captured by tiny cameras in the first fixed rig show of its kind to be made in Ireland.

Can it possibly fail?
Ralph Hosford writes:
We are two Irish guys who have just launched a Kickstarter campaign for a monstrous game called ZompireWolf. You may have come across this character on the Huffington Post or seen the Rubberbandits talking about it on Facebook! ZompireWolf is part Zombie, part Vampire and part Werewolf… and all trouble! We hope we have created on of the most unique characters ever but may be slightly biased!
What you may need to know:
1. Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and John Watson (Martin Freeman) go back to their 19th century roots for this one-off special.
2. This is the first episode of the Steven Moffat era not based on one of Arthur Conan Dolyle’s stories.
3. Pipes, bowler hats and elaborately waxed facial hair… Victorian London or Thursday afternoon in the Fumbally?
4. Fans will have a bit of a wait for the fourth series. Shooting won’t start until next spring with the first episode probably screening in January 2017.
5. Yes it’s very good, but 3 episodes every 2 years? They’re not exactly killing themselves, are they?
6. That might be slightly unfair, what with Cumberbatch‘s and Freeman’s workload.
7. Broadsheet prognosis: Nothing says New Year like Sherlock. Except Hootenanny.
Release Date: January 1, 2016 (BBC)

Yikes!
A second Le Cool Dublin cover from outspoken Italian-born, Dublin based designer Lorenzo Tonti following his contentious coffee cover last week,
Lorenzo explains sez:
For the second image the subject was a given, Halloween. To keep with the same self-imposed theme of using a typographical solution [the coffee cover], I used the name to create an image to express Halloween. The playful use of letters and words is something I particularly enjoy, and I use it often as part of my design work for logos, identities and branding projects. Typography is an essential element I try to use as often as possible to make the solution more interesting and engaging. This particular
Combattimento!

This is an abandoned house on my street in Dolphin’s Barn that somebody has recently started renovating. There’s been a family of stray cats living there as long as I can remember, getting in and out through a break in one of the window blockades. Some local pensioners feed them from time to time…
