Oh.
Massey Brothers Ceili night.
The original – and best – death disco.
I’m sick of these whinging ingrates,
Who don’t understand market rates,
So kneel down and give thanks,
To the chaps who run banks,
Without whom we’d be in dire straits.

Above is a ‘gathering’ of Irish viral video heroes and villains assembled by graphic designer Paddy Dunne for this week’s Le Cool Dublin.
You may have seen them on the YouTubes.
But, apart from ‘man slipping on ice’, how many can you identify?
We have two – yes, TWO – pairs of tickets to see Anglo: The Musical at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, Dublin, (November 14-25) to give away.
Lines close (and answers revealed) at 11.30pm 12.30pm
A brand new EMD GT46C-ACe locomotive drops while being unloaded from a cargo-ship at dock.
This will not buff out.
Aw.
Thanks Andrus Mets

Celebrated miniaturist William Robertson’s 1/12 scale, fully functional replica of an 18th century tool chest, which took about 1000 hours to complete:
Robertson’s tool chest contains all the same tools that were found in the original. All the tools work, even the plane’s tote (handle) is set a scale 1/8″ to one side as the original. The saw has 160 teeth to the inch. Robinson says that the hardest tool to make was the folding rule with 5 leaf hinge. It is about .030″ thick and hand engraved on boxwood. Things like the shears and dividers also have nice little joints.
Also included in the tool chest are a Kent-style hatchet, claw hammer, a riviting hammer, marking gauge, five gimlets, a smooth plane, backsaw, saw wrest, divider, awl, round file, burnisher, inside/outside calipers, bevel gauge, try square, three turnscrews, four brad awls, an oilstone in its case, three tanged chisels, a mallet and a beak anvil. As stated all the tools are fully functional, with blades made of steel.
