If you want to know how bad a certain amount of people in this country are suffering due to austerity, one need only take a look at adverts.ie today as a person asks ‘Please help?’ He is looking for a loan of €200 for ‘food for my kids.’ Shockingly sad, and an indictment of the economics that our government still advocate.

Please Help (Adverts.ie)

UPDATE: Ad since withdrawn. Go figure.

Just thought you’d like these hipster Playwrights by Sligo Gary Reddin. They’re limited edition of 150 and signed. “I’ve always thought that if Joyce were alive today he’d be a Hipster. With Nora tattooed on his neck and subtle references to Ulysses (1904)” – Gary

From the Scarfolk Council blogspot. To wit:

Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond 1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm because they are perpetually running a slight fever. “Visit Scarfolk today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay”.
