scarfMy boyfriend went to Goa and all I got was this brightly-patterned scarf and a lecture about mindfulness

But to Banbha McCann.

This is her world.

I realise you  don’t normally do this but but, this scarf was given to me by my boyfriend – he’s usually rubbish at remembering birthdays, anniversaries and the like but came through on this one. This was the first gift he gave me and now it’s gone! Lost somewhere on the canal between Baggot Street and Portobello [Dublin] on Monday evening.It has huge sentimental value as well as being nice to look at. Please help! Reward offered for safe return.

Tommy Morris, loyal aide to Fine Gael TD Derek Keating, comprehensively gotcha’d removing copies of last week’s Lucan Gazette (carrying an unfavourable article about his colleague) from local newsagents.

Three thousand copies.

Tommy’s the Liddy of the operation.

I thought you might enjoy this. Every morning at the bike park at my local train station here in Japan, the police go around with bright yellow tags marking all the UNLOCKED bicycles.

On the back of the tags it explains to the owners that by not locking them, they make the bikes more vulnerable to theft. On the front it says ‘Crime Prevention • Let’s Lock Our Bikes!’.  An irony that can only exist in a country with no street crime.
