My heart leaps for joy when I see,
Advances in biology,
Now we’ve found an escape,
From “legitimate rape”,
Three cheers for the great G.O.P.

Sliabh na mBan: Michael Collins’ armoured ‘jam jar’ at Béal na mBláth, Co Cork, yesterday on the 90th anniversary of the Corkman’s death.
Enda Kenny told the gathering
“I think it is safe to say that the giant discrepancies that have occurred in recent years would leave Collins, like all of us, absolutely speechless But helpless? Never — he was a pragmatist, a doer, a passionate lover of Ireland and an unfailing optimist.”
Hmm.
Watch the restoration of Sliabh na mBan in timelapse here.

Arthur Mathews‘ pilot, ‘Toast of London’ premieres tonight on Channel 4 at 10pm.
The plot:
Steven Toast (Matt Berry) is asked to audition for long-running television series ‘Summer Time Murders’. However, the producer has been imprisoned for racial chanting on the set of his own production, so Toast has to audition for the part of a gay corrupt detective during prisoners’ visiting time.

Inner city Dublin and Stephen’s Green: examples of the spine-tingling photography of Evelyn Hofer (1922–2009) on show (until August 31) at The Gallery of Photography, Meeting House Square, Temple Bar, Dublin.
Hofer, who used a barely-mobile four-by-five-inch viewfinder camera, came here in the Autumn of 1966 with the travel writer V. S. Pritchett for their book, Dublin: A Portrait (1967)

I know you ‘don’t normally do this’, but you’d really be helping me out. Out walking my dog this morning and a little white dog (red collar, no tags or road sense), above, followed me home.
I am based in Dun Laoghaire and he followed me from Crosthwaite Park at about 7am. I don’t really know what to do – have called local vets and gardai, and will check if he’s microchipped later on (had to come into work). If you could post this, I’d really appreciate it.
UPDATE: Owner located. More as we get it. Thanks all.
