It changes everything.

Cristoph is an interesting man who lives not far from me. He’s German and has invented a new model of push-bike. I made this short video for his fund-rising project in Germany (link below) He’s a great guy with great ideas but a lack of money so maybe it would be possible people could go to that fund-raising page and to become his fan (he needs 41 more fans to activate his fund-raising). Thanks…
‘Sup?

Anyone else notice the trumpeter on the cover of today’s Irish Times?
French horn, surely?
Every Corkman will agree,
That it’s great to live down by the Lee,
But they woke up this morning,
To a Met Eireann warning,
They’re about to be swept out to sea.

“Alicia Brady, a 16-year-old Jacob’s striker, was fatally injured by the ricochet from a revolver fired by a strike breaker, or scab, called Patrick Traynor on December 18, 1913. A memorial is taking place this Saturday from 2pm at Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin, to commemorate her death.”
“No photograph of Alicia Brady exists, instead this reproduction of the incident features in the Lockout Tapestry.”
