Map of typos in Dublin 7

Published: October 8, 2010

This deidcated (sic) business is near Dailymount (sic) Park and Matter (sic) Hospital

I always glance at the many flyers that come through the letterbox on a daily basis, to see if they are of use to me, and also to search for typos. A small catalogue for a hardware supply business arrived last week. It listed products related to home insulation and solar panels so I read […]

One plus one is tow

Published: September 21, 2010

My son and I pick up a lot of litter when we are out and about. Thankfully the amount of litter has been reduced since the local authority installed a bin beside our nearby playground. Obviously there is still litter around and amongst it we found this gem. My son is too young for Ben […]

The bins say: […]

Back in January a Californian woman gave birth to 8 babies. She already had 6 children. Not surprisingly there was quite a reaction to this, with the doctor being investigated and the woman’s grandparents calling her “absolutely irresponsible” and her behaviour “unconscionable“. The photo here, from the Irish Times, shows a local resident protesting outside […]
