Irish National Opera has bought an old church on Abbey Street, to turn it into a performing arts space. The chapel on the ground floor is too small for a theatre “but it's the kind of place where you could have recitals, a piano player or string quartet”.

The first poster featuring the Michelin Man, aka Bibendum, designed by O'Galop in 1898. The slogan "Nunc est bibendum" means "Now is the time to drink." Bibendum toasts with a goblet of nails and broken glass while rival tires slump beside him, because the Michelin tire "drinks up the obstacle."

When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".
A Curse Against Stealers Of Books
For him that
stealth a book from
this place, let it
change into a
serpent in his hand
and rend him.
Let him be struck with
palsy,
& all his members 
blasted.
Let him languish in 
pain crying aloud for
mercy, & let there be be no surcease to his 
agony till he sink to
dissolution.
Let bookworms gnaw
his entrails in token of 
the Worm that diets not,
& when at last he
goeth to his final
punishment, let the
flames of
hell consume him
forever & aye.
(Monastery Of San Pedro, Barcelona.)

What began as a small stall in 1985 has become a lifelong passion for Ali al-Mandalawi, whose shop in Baghdad’s historic Souq al-Sarai holds more than a million pens and pencils. His collection draws people from all walks of life, from students and artists to collectors and visitors.

Excellent desription of Dublin tenements of the early 1900s by Sean O'Casey, quoted in V.S. Pritchett's "Dublin a portrait: (originally published in 1967 accompanied by Evelyn Hofer's lovely photographs of Dublin). I'm rereading a text only reprint from 1991.

Thought it looked familiar. Is it Morroe, west of Corgreggan Mill, coming from Dunfanaghy in Donegal. Passed it many times, can remember in the 80s when the house still had it's roof.
