Took this photo a few days back at La Touche bridge in Portobello. Thought it was funny, what with the chiropractor sign in the background.

The Bottle Boys hoot and toot their way through an old (and slightly newer) school medley including Pong, Pac Man, Tetris, Mario, Zelda, Sonic, Pokemon, World of Warcraft and Angry Birds.

“Hundreds of frogs have been found dead at the natural pond on the Curragh Plains in Co. Kildare, known as Lough Bawn (the White Lake). The Herpetological Society of Ireland collected samples from the frogs and the water and are awaiting the results. Lough Bawn is associated with St. Brighid and is thought to be the Lake of Cream, resulting from an overflow of milk when the saint prayed for a miracle to allow her offer hospitality to an unexpected visit from a number of bishops.”
