While walking on beach [name witheld] in Sligo on Sunday, we found a GoPro Hero3 underwater sports camera. The image above is a still from the last video made on the camera. Can you please share with your wiseass, cranky helpful readers to see by the power of sharing if the camera can be returned to its owner.

 

Anyone?

Last seen on Monday night at 8pm causing “a ten minute traffic jam” on the Blackglen Road in Sandyford, Co Dublin.

And then running down “past the old fitness centre into Ticknock Park”.

No sign since.

Lily [11-year-old Lab] bolted from our friend’s house where she was being looked after when her owners were away. We think she was trying to find her way home, and by the sounds of it from where she was last spotted, she was going in the right direction. she could be anywhere in Dublin.

People who’ve spotted her have said she looks very frightened, and by now she must be very hungry and tired. We’ve contacted every pound, garda station, vets etc, but to no avail .We’re all in bits since she’s gone missing.Thank you!

Anyone?

“I picked up a black leather wallet on Sackville Place (near O’Connell Street) with this age card in it after the match [All-Ireland football final] on Sunday. Also inside is a bank card and a DITSU [Dublin Institute of Technology Students’ Union] ENTS card.”

Anyone?
