Get your house into the history books of Trinity College

At least.. that's what I think this means...

poster spotted in Trinity College Dublin featuring a picture of a house with The Ultimate House Party written on it and underneath is written Ents is loking to hold the largest house party that this college has ever see, With your help we can make this happen. If you have a free house and want to go down in Trinity History contact Nick Longworth at ents@tcdsu.org

So if you'd like to help the Ents hold the largest house party that Trinity has ever seen, maybe get in touch with Nick? I'm sure they'd only be drinking tea and the like and would do the washing up afterwards... wouldn't they?

Harry's lost his lost kitten poster

Harry seems to be getting around the city... This was on George's Street on Wednesday:

poster stuck to a pole on George's Street reading (all in caps) Have lost my *lost kitten* poster. It was stuck to this pole about a week ago. Have you seen it? It it exactly the same size as A4 paper, is made of white paper and has a picture of a kitten and the words *lost kitten* on it. If you have my poster, meet me here on Sunday at 5.30pm. No photocopies. I can offer you a lift on my bike wherever you want to go after you've given me the poster. - Harry. On it in crayon as well is written you have stolen my name return it to harrythehippo@gmail.com

If you can't make it out, it reads: Have lost my *lost kitten* poster. It was stuck to this pole about a week ago. Have you seen it? It it exactly the same size as A4 paper, is made of white paper and has a picture of a kitten and the words *lost kitten* on it. If you have my poster, meet me here on Sunday at 5.30pm. No photocopies. I can offer you a lift on my bike wherever you want to go after you've given me the poster. - Harry


The red lemonade girls have been poster spotting too. Jack and Marian, eh?

Someone must have done a good job then

I spotted this on the quays this morning:

Plaque on wall for McGonagle solicitors with a sticker above it reading Thanks To, then the engraved McGonagle Solicitors, and underneath it has in black marker the words who are deadly - total text - thanks to McGonagle Solicitors who are deadly

Always nice to get good feedback, eh?

The one thing I don't like about my new office

photo of buttons in the office elevator; there's a button for floors -2, 0, 2, 3 and 4 but no -1 or 1

I just want to know why there's no entrance to the first floor or basement. I want to know what happens there.

Dan, if you're going to advertise your love on Facebook...

It's a bit of a Valentine's FAIL really. On a number of levels.

Dan's bought the girlfriend a website for Valentine's Day, to profess his love. He bought her actual name as the domain, which is nice. On said website he has put lovely heart images. Which is always nice. And obviously he's paid for the hosting and the domain of said website. Which is also very nice.

And then he obviously, having gone to this trouble, decided to compose a searing, passionate, romantic ode to this wonderful girlfriend of his, so worthy of such effort, so important in his life and so-going-to-be-impressed at all the work he's put in. Does he quote the words of her favourite poet? No. Does he quote the lyrics of her favourite song? No. Nothing so predictable.

How about a heartfelt and honest piece on why he loves her, what she means to him and how he truly feels, where the lack of professional veneer is eclipsed by the raw emotion and effort he obviously put into the composition of it? Well...

Image from screenshot of website reading Yo, For my crazy cool girlfriend, you can kill me later!! Happy Valentine’s day, Dan.

It's not exactly Dylan, is it? Before we judge though, we must accept that maybe this is good for Dan. Maybe he's 11 and she's 11 and she's always wanted a website of her own and she'll be ever so impressed especially when he explains how he's actually advertising on Facebook, how loads of people have clicked on his message already and how, in the advertisement, he somehow managed...

Image of ad on Facebook reading Orla Fitzgerlad, will you be my Valentine, guess who.......

... to spell the girl's surname wrong.

Orla Fitzgerlad/Fitzgerald - if you're out there, let us know what you think of your new website, please? Oh and happy Valentine's Day. And enjoy Sunday, whatever that is!

Lvoe is in the air...

(Is it bad that I posted this before I checked the WhoIs to find out who owns it?)

Someone, somewhere has got some explaining to do...

What's that word the young people use these days? File? Fall? Fool? Flail?
