Saw this sign, this morning. Nice of them too to show the steam coming off the dog poo. Is that normal, for that type of sign?

“If you think what’s going on right now is a joke, and you want to joke around about it, you should pick your stuff up and leave Patch today, and the reason is, and I’m going to be very specific about this, is Patch from an experience — Abel, put that camera down right now! Abel, you’re fired. Out! [Momentary pause.] If you guys think that AOL has not been committed to Patch, and won’t stay committed to Patch, you’re wrong. The company has spent hundreds of millions of dollars, the board of directors is committed, I’m committed…”

I know you don’t normally do this but…..I found a set of keys down the side of my seat at the window on the 5:15 from Westport to Heuston, I got on the train in Portarlington and only noticed them when I was getting off. Have a feeling they belong to someone who got off in Portarlington due to what what was left on the table, could have been any of the stations in between though all the tags seem local to Westport i.e. SuperValu, Tesco, Dunnes, Treacy’s pharmacy.. If they are yours I have left them with the Information desk in Heuston, contact them and they should be able to get them to either Portarlington, Westport or any station in between.
