Coming through Dublin airport the other day I saw this message over the luggage belt. Is it me or shouldn’t this read “Drive on THE left”? Is this some sort of pigeon English being employed to relate to tourists whose first language isn’t English or is it just a bit shit?

When I moved over from London to Dublin one of the things that struck me was how easy it was to get a cab. When I was in England you had to actually book a cab not just stroll outside and hail one. That however is the one sole advantage of the ridiculous deregulation of Dublin cabs. One of the many things that annoys me about Dublin cabs is how variable the quality (and cleanliness) of the cab you get in is one such extreme example I encountered the other day was a cab that was using cling film instead of glass. I mean FFS surely we can do a bit better than this?

I work in an office in quite a central part of Dublin. Its quite a busy place so you can understand my amazement (and need to photograph it) when a woman strolled by the other day pulled her kecks down and had a piss in plain view of many many people. 

I used to think that women were the fairer sex, I’m not so sure now.
