Dublin City Council’s public consultation document on the pink ‘n’ grey regeneration of Grafton Street (you can help choose which sort of paving) is now available (see here).

Notice the proposed replacement of ye olde Georgian-style lampposts, bollards and bins for blandly sleek European-style street furniture. We’ve already objected.

If you watch this instead of the movies you’ll save more than 7 hours of your life.

David Cameron appeared to cast doubt on the future of the euro during prime minister’s questions when he said the eurozone “either has to make up or it is looking at a potential breakup”. He told MPs: “That’s the choice they have to make and it is a choice they can’t long put off.” His aides said later he had not made a mistake with his remarks, which Labour immediately pounced on, accusing the prime minister of stoking fears of a breakup.

…Cameron’s words followed a stark warning from the governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, who said Britain’s recovery was being hampered by a eurozone that was “tearing itself apart” and referred to a “storm heading our way from the continent”.
