Did you see this hottie man get hit?

It was recommended I contact you regarding a witness appeal. In December i was knocked off my bike [above] by a taxi on Aungier Street, Dublin [Outside ‘National Maps’ (No.34) at 11.30pm-12.30am on December 7]. It was witnessed by three lads [age 18-22] who got the taxi reg. but in my disorientation i failed to get their contact details. I was injured and  suffered concussion from the accident  and Gardai would like to speak with them. Thanks.

Anyone?

 

BMW

I live on Observatory Lane, Rathmines. [On Wednesday] at 1.50 in the afternoon a bald man driving a silver saloon Mercedes reversed into my vintage BMW and drove away.

I heard the crash and went to the window and saw the man examining my bonnet and his broken right rear tail light. I raced downstairs but by the time I’d unlocked the front door the man had scarpered.

There can’t be too many bald men driving silver saloon Mercedes with a broken right rear tail light in Dublin! I’m hoping that someone who reads broadsheet knows this guy and encourages him to do the right thing.

I’m not a materialistic person but my vintage BMW is my pride and joy. The fact that I’m home at 2 in the afternoon is a clue that funds aren’t free flowing at the moment. And that I’ve to put my hand in my pocket to rectify this man’s mistake is unjust.

It’s not only the money, I guess when you see someone reverse into your car and just drive off, it’s one more droplet that slightly erodes your view of the goodness in people, sense of community and togetherness etc.

I’m writing this on the off chance that someone who reads this knows the driver and plays to his better conscience.

I write more in therapeutic hope than expectation but you never know!

Anyone?

Jerry

Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld was on WFAN’s “Boomer & Carton” show yesterday, above, and was asked about recent photographs of him and former Seinfeld co-star Jason Alexander walking past Tom’s Restaurant in New York – which was one of the show’s locations.

The sighting prompted rumours that they were either shooting a Super Bowl commercial or filming for Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee series.

Seinfeld said: “It’s neither. But it is not not those things, either. It’s a secret project.”

A game of 20, or so, questions with the Boomer & Carton hosts ensued, including the following:

B&C: “Was it filmed?”

Jerry Seinfeld: “Yes it was. It was filmed.”

B&C: “Were other Seinfeld characters involved?”

Seinfeld: “Yes there were.”

B&C: “Was it a short-form or a long-form filming?”

Seinfeld: “It’s a short-ish form.”

B&C: “Was Jason Alexander playing George or himself?”

Seinfeld: “George.”

B&C: “Was Larry David involved?”

Seinfeld: “He was involved.”

B&C: “Was he on camera?”

Seinfeld: “No.”

B&C: Was his voice heard?

Seinfeld: “No.”

B&C: When will we see this?

Seinfeld: “Very, very soon.”

Finally.

Adjunct assistant professor in philosophy at Trinity College Dublin Tom McNally, above, has created illustrations inspired by the work of James Joyce over the past three years and wants to make a book out of them, called The Ondt and the Gracehoper.

The text of his book will be taken from Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, and his re-telling of Aesop’s fable of The Ant and the Grasshopper.

Tom is running a crowdfunding campaign on Fundit.ie for the book which he hopes will be published by Lilliput Press in time for the 110th anniversary of Bloomsday on June 16.

He sez:

:”‘Finnegans Wake’ is, by all accounts, one of the most difficult books you can encounter. The purpose of my illustrations is to offer people a unique entry-point into Joyce’s novel; to give them a greater sense of the kind of writing to be found in ‘Finnegan’s Wake’ – of the humour and brilliance of the language, once you move beyond its difficult surface.”

Help Tom here.
