car5car6I came across this 1990 Citroen 2CV6 in Ranelagh [Dublin]. Production of this iconic car ceased the same year so this would have been one of the last examples.
car4car3 Another gem in Ranelagh. The Lite-Ace was placed below the High-Ace in Toyota’s range of vans – a very rare commercial these days however.

car2car1A 1973 BMW 2002 Touring hatchback [Off Baggott Street, Dublin]. Really well preserved/restored. A Classic BMW show takes place in Straffan, Co. Kildare, on Sunday (June 23) and this car will be raffled off as a prize

Yes, it’s been doing the rounds for days, but in case you missed this utter, square-pummelling tour de force by Russell Brand earlier this week on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, prepare to have any prejudice you might harbour against the Brand at least lessened, if not entirely swept away.

Hat tip to EJ who sez:

This is why Rustyrockets Russell Brand will always be welcome at mine for tea…

DIT graduate Eoin Duffy’s unexpectedly poignant abstract animation, which was shown at last year’s Galway International Film Festival. Short of The Week, where the film premiered yesterday, sez:

…a compilation of audio visual abstraction and creativity packed into five tender minutes. Based on his own personal experience in dealing with his younger brother [Emmet’s] suicide, Duffy crafts a stylistic journey of a traveler navigating through an airport. He is surrounded by a world of sterile efficiency—of clean shapes and symbols that offer nothing to assuage his grief.
