Brendan sez:
“Have you ever experienced blue-sky sprites? Those tiny white dots that appear in your field of vision when you look into bright lights. I’ve only experienced this phenomenon a few times but it can seem like tiny fish or tadpoles swimming in front of you.”
More tobacco.

A short film by young filmmakers (above) from LIT Thurles [Co Tipperary] about the downside of drink made in association with the Tipperary Regional Youth Service and the Mid West Regional Drugs Task Force.
Director Adam O’Dwyer writes:
“‘Silent Keys,’ is a story about a young woman who loses her way. Em, the central character, is as unique as any other person. She loves her friends and her family and she enjoys playing the piano. Factors in Em’s life lead her towards alcohol. As she struggles in certain aspects of life, she begins to see alcohol as a solace, her only comfort in her increasing distress. As Em’s dependence on alcohol grows stronger loneliness and desperation prevail. Before long a dangerous situation ensues.”
A video of the dapper-suited, Manchester-born street seller extraordinaire Joe ‘the Gentleman Peeler’ Ades doing his thing at New York’s Union Square in 2008.
Such was his charm* that, for sixteen years, peelers funded not only his trademark bespoke suits but also a three-bed apartment on plush Park Avenue.
Since his death in 2009 at age 75, Joe’s daughter Ruth Ades-Laurent has taken his place.
