Crowe Street, Temple Bar this afternoon.
Where are they taking them?
Tony Duncan asks:
“Dublin City Council. Are you seriously trying to put SME’S out of business, why are you taking their sandwich boards?”
DCC responds:
“They were unlicensed boards, businesses would have been given notice to remove them from the public footpath….”
More as we get it.
What you may need to know:
1. Aidan Bloom (Zach Braff) is a struggling actor, father and husband. At 35 he is still trying to find a purpose for his life. When Aidan’s father can no longer afford to pay for private education for his two children, he begins home schooling them.
2. First World Problems: The Movie.
3. JD and Turk Ride Again.
4. Braff raised $3.1m through a hugely-successful Kickstarter campaign with the intention of preserving independent creative control and final cut. He also raised a lot of eyebrows after Worldview Entertainment subsequently stumped up the rest of the $10m budget.
5. If you ever feel like rewatching Garden State (2004), don’t. It’s like The Breakfast Club (1985) – just leave it be.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Excess sugar levels may be hazardous to those at risk of Diabetes.
Release Date: September 19

Reckless Rainbow is a collective of “designers, artists, engineers, DIY philosophers and visionaries” founded by Shane Sugrue, Art Scheunert and Amy Learmonth.

“A few weeks ago you guys covered the art piece (above) we made on Sandymount strand [Dublin] and how it set sail around our coast. This (top) is the making of video. We have a number of projects lined up for the people of Ireland to enjoy in the coming months.
We have just came back from Burning Man in the [Nevada] Desert where we built a 20ft climbable version of it….
…our Irish representative art piece in amongt the beautiful madness. As one was in water I thought you guys may want to see it’s journey into fire, as that’s what traditionally happened to the Brigid’s crosses….”
Crikey.
Uncanny.

Ah.

“I got this letter from the Dept of Social Protection last night seeking payment of an outstanding debt. After initial confusion it dawned on me that I had remained on the dole for a week into my job that I started back in 2007, for, you know, food. A phone call to the Dept this morning confirmed that this was indeed the case and recent legislation passed means that many more can expect letters like this. It’s fair enough that I pay it back. It’s a little unfair that I’m charged for 2 weeks when they have me down for 8 days of overpayment. It’s also a little unfair that you’re to drop off the dole the day you start your job, in my case six weeks before I’d get my first payslip. Still, I always knew I was a big fish and in this small pond I would be caught eventually….”

Taxi driver Kishan Lalka knew his career would never be the same when he heard his passengers sniggering, the sound of pants being hastily buttoned, and a particularly pungent stench filling his nostrils.
The boys had asked to be dropped off at Bayview St in Fannie Bay. He said they were drunk, caucasian, and appeared to be Australian and aged in their early 20s.
“There was a smell in the car and one of the guys sitting behind me did a poo,” he said. Mr Lalka, a driver for two years, said the $8 fare was unpaid. “I had a real bad headache because of the smell,” he said. “When I sleep, I feel the smell. I didn’t have dinner last night.”
Hailo?
Is it me you’re pooing for?
