Hardly anything new about another shite JobBridge ad. But the skillset learned in this one is a joke. ‘Checking with customers to ensure that they are enjoying their meals’, ‘Formal training in making coffee’ and training
in reading menus to customers. To top it all off you’d be based in Tuam. Rant over, I feel better, thanks for listening

Filmed on the longest day of 2010 (June 21) and freshly uploaded.

The bench beside Baggot Street Bridge gets many and varied visitors. This film captures some of the people that passed by and others that used the bench. Arguing couples, tourists, dog walkers, smokers, children and people just taking some time out..

Bonus feature: The thoughtless Coke can lady:

Oh, the humanity.

Thanks Shane

Taken about an hour and a half ago by my friend Saima Ar, who swears it is genuine. I can’t make out what they’re sitting on but it looks like polystyrene.

More as we get it.

The Unspecified Thing That Looks Like Ireland to Broadsheet@broadsheet.ie

The NDAA is the $662 billion National Defense Authorization Act that President Obama signed into law on New Year’s Eve. In addition to funding the United States’ ongoing wars and the 900 military bases it maintains in 130 countries, the bill provides for the U.S. president to have draconian worldwide authority to have the military seize anyone suspected of “terrorism” or providing aid to terrorists or “associated forces” anywhere in the world, including U.S. citizens on American soil, and detain them without charge or trial indefinitely.
