Svelte: November 24, 2010                                                           Boxy: this afternoon.

A mere nine months separates these two pictures of Ajai ‘Chopper’ Chopra, deputy director (Europe) for the IMF, the latest taken within the last hour outside the Merrion Hotel.

Nine months scrutinising the ledger books we laughably ‘our accounts’ will do that to a man.

The Turin Shroud-like imprint on a window of Sally Arnold’s house in Kendal, Cumbria left by the ‘powder down’ of a Tawny Owl that evidently crashed into it.

There was no sign of blood at the scene, or the owl, which is presumed to have survived.

That’s right

Minister for so-called Education Ruairi Quinn, as this damning (and beautifully produced) video demonstrates.

Cola bears?!

Still. Nothing new.

As a student in UCD Ruairi used to snort chili believing it to be ‘Charlie’.

The ‘P-Tree’ from Dutch design studio Aandeboom – recently ‘beta tested’ at the 2011 Roskilde Festival in Denmark.

But not at Oxegen. Obviously.

The P-TREE is a temporary tree-friendly urinal that can be fixed on every tree using straps and lashings. The P-tree gives a feeling of freedom during peeing. It is the same as peeing into the wild. The hoses from the urinal can be combined and connected on a waste pipe with container. The P-tree is very accessible for festivals, public gardens, events, etc. P-tree and Lashings are available in different RAL-colors.
