Christmas trees and Tinder Spar: 9 weird and wonderful things that land in TheJournal.ie inbox

Sometimes we are sent really useful news tips and pictures, other times we are sent really weird – but wonderful – things like this.

OVER HERE AT TheJournal.ie headquarters we get sent an assortment of information, images and stories from our readers.

Some of it is hilarious. Some of it is heartbreaking. Some of it is unintentionally brilliant.

While more of it is, well, just plain weird.

We stopped doing this post a few months back but decided to resurrect it after you all copped on and started sending in even more weird sh*te, as well as some wonderful shots.

So here’s a look at some of the surprises we got when we opened our inboxes over the past few weeks. Keep ‘em coming.

This was spotted in Raheny last Sunday by Hilda. Yes, last Sunday, the 5 April.

We’ll end on a serious note. This devastating image, ‘Handle with Care’, was taken by Dave Gibson on Bank Holiday Monday morning as he made his way to the Road to the Rising event.

“The man was moved on by gardaí shortly afterwards”.
