The one-time “Pleasant Pet Shop” (on Pleasant Street near Camden Street in Dublin) was renamed today – twice.

First dubbed the “Yuky Pet Shop” (named after a kitten that lives there) the proprietors were quickly advised that “Yuky” was too similar to “yucky”.

All fixed now.

Here is a Greek documentary on the crisis which features a lot of renowned academics who are critical of what is being imposed on Greece and other ‘peripheral’ countries. Particularly interesting is the concept of ‘odious debt‘  (I think in Ireland you guys call it “NAMA”) and the case for debt cancellation, explored in the film through the two very different cases of Ecuador and Iraq. Oh, and Lenihan’s “we all partied” moment is given an airing too.

The German moderators discusses in the beginning how boring and lame the official looks are and that the fashion designers came up with the following outfits to make the game more interesting and colourful. They explain in great detail how the colours look since at the point many did not have colour TV!

Verdammten hipsters.

The Ha’penny bridge, Dublin, this afternoon.

Dublin City Council has renewed calls for people to stop leaving ‘Love Locks’ attached to the bridge as it could “damage the protected structure”. Council workers removed a bunch of locks earlier this year only to see them return in greater numbers.
