There is at least one camel on the loose in Finglas

This guy has packed his hump and is saying goodbye to the circus.

THIS IS NOT a drill.

There is a real live camel out for a stroll in Charlestown, Finglas.

Brendan Hurley spotted the camel out for a walk earlier today.

Nobody’s sure if he just got the hump with the circus (sorry), or if he’s spitting mad (again, sorry) about a lack of freedom, but here he is casually strolling around.

However, the camel may not be alone. AA Roadwatch has said that there are reports of camels on the road.

After they are done, we wonder if they stopped for some relaxing camel-mile tea. (I’m so, so sorry.)

    I thought snake was originally a computer game, that’s how I first played it anyway.

    I too first played it on computer in the 1985. Long before mobile phones.

    Ariana you are correct. Snake WAS a computer game first. It was written in QBasic along with Gorilla (two gorillas standing on buildings throwing exploding bananas at each other) and could be found on the old dos drives. A classic classic. The phone version was just pants. If you stopped the Qbasic program from loading you could access the code and change the look and parrameters of both snake and gorilla. A basic intro to programming.
