I used my downtime to make a website with the missus last weekend to promote small, independent Irish online stores who deliver. Maybe some of your readers would be interested.

Just Buy Irish

A short documentary about Bill – the Grizzly-Adams-bearded, 52-year-old, fixie-cycling delivery guy for Best Pizza in Brooklyn.

If you look at me, you are definitely rolling the dice. It is a fifty-fifty chance that you’re gonna get me or I’m gonna fucking kill you.

You’ll like Bill.

A short film by The Perennial Plate featuring the dabbawallas of Mumbai – who deliver home-cooked lunches to office workers in a low tech but remarkably effective way.

Each day in Mumbai 4000 men in white outfits and matching hats transport 175,000 lunches across the big city. They retrieve the tiffens (lunch containers) of food from mothers and wives, and bring them (by foot, train, bicycle and even carried on top of their heads) to the office buildings of waiting husbands and sons. The Dabbawallas have been doing this since the late 1800s.Despite the unsophisticated mode of transport, the lunches always arrive on time (the error rate is 1 in every 16 million transactions).
