Behold the Robot Restaurant (built in 2012 at a cost of $10 million) – a Tokyo club famed for its eye-twistingly garish, mirrored and flat panel monitor-laden interior where punters enjoy an appropriately nutballs ‘sci-fi cabaret’.

So basically being Irish this summer means having to cheer for a for a foreign team. Not the most craic during a world cup as ideally we want Ireland to be competing. But they aren’t so lets get on with it.
But we had an idea here in Atomic. What if we supported other teams that wear green? An alternative #COYBIG?
So we created four posters for Nigeria, Cameroon, Algeria and Mexico

Dublin comic writer Bob Byrne’s ‘Big Bad Spanish’.
Promising to teach Spanish through “humiliating trial and error, brute force and immersion”.
Bob explains:
“You play as Benji, a guy with absolutely no Spanish skills. As you fight your way through the entire Spanish speaking world you will all manner of rude and unhelpful characters. You learn by jumping in, getting knocked down, dusting yourself and trying again. It´s a frustrating but enjoyable way to cement words and phrases into your brain forever…The game will be available first on iOS and then Android and PC but you can play the Demo online HERE.”
Reviews welcome anyone?

[‘Controversial’ blogger and food critic Niall Harbison (top) and Grand Canal Dock, Dublin (above) yesterday]
Yesterday:
“When the sun shines there are certain places that you just know will be packed. The Barge is probably the most obvious place to head but for years it was Ocean Bar. 100s of people would sit outside happily supping pints and watching knackers play their favourite sport of bridge jumping wearing wet suits. It really is amazing how long the little bastards can keep themselves entertained jumping into water and how the local crime rates plunge when they are all busy having their annual wash.”
This morning:
“Now you get pretty extreme reactions online but it was the sheer volume of rational people telling me I was wrong that makes see the error in my ways. I should have been smart enough not to write those 2 lines myself but the fact is I did and it took others to highlight my error. I was wrong and I apologise.”
