The judges’ decision was unanimous.
George Longwill’s cover (above) is the first winner (of four) of the Le Cool Dublin Cover competition thing.
But what’s with the calculator? And who is the real George?
He sez:
I’m a graphic designer. I run a small design company called Chuffey with my sister Liz. I generally spend the day at my keyboard designing, while Liz brings in work, and big-ups us to the world. Most of the time I’m doing bathroom catalogues and cow-related adverts really. If it’s got a cow on it, I probably designed it! (unless it’s crap in which case it was someone else).
This was my Dad’s calculator and I use it for working out my millimeters when designing (I’ve found from experience it’s important to get these right). Just thought it was kind of cool because it is all grubby and also fitted January seasonally – it is pretty grim and a time for budgeting and well calculating things.
Ooh, I say, Mr. Papadopolous!
Get out of MY pub, you slag!
Rickyyyyyyy
Leave it, Phil. She’s not worth it.
Etc.
Spotted in Academy Street, Cork.
Why the long neck?

My lovely bicycle was stolen on Tuesday between 11.00 and 12.00 outside Firestation Artist Studios, on Buckingham St [Dublin]. It’s a Dawes ‘Competition Giro’ – a blue racer, with two yellow bottle cages, however it can now be more easily recognised by the ridiculous black steering stem extension, which makes it look like a giraffe who’s joined the priesthood. If readers would be so kind as to keep an eye out for me, that’d be excellent. Modest reward offered for its safe return.
Anyone?
Meanwhile, we’ll just leave this here.
Anyone?
We find the Michael Tea Cosy absorbs any leakage, but that’s just us.
Thanks Eoin O Cathasaigh
Oh. My. BOD.

“You want lies with that?”
Enda Kenny and Larry Goodman at the SIAL Foodfair in Paris last October.
They’re calling him Dirty Larry.
Go ahead, make his neigh.
Bentley-driving Mr Goodman, an intensely private man, started out as a 15-year-old school drop-out selling sheep guts to butchers in Dundalk, Ireland for use as sausage skin.
Good times.

Oh, go on then.
