Woody's Gun and Sun in Dublin: 7 weird (and wonderful) pics our readers sent us

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 some really random stuff via email.

Some of it is hilarious. Some of it is heartbreaking.

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

Since we started doing this post last year, 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 seven days. Keep ‘em coming.

    I know Big Mac , they got around it by not fully owning the bottlers , so said they couldn’t control what happened , the coke machine is more recent with new info , they also poisoned the ground water around their plants in India with heavy metals aswell as giving the local farmers bags of toxic waste and telling them it was fertiliser , a nasty nasty company by any standards , not to mention their effect on the obesity and diabetes epidemic in countries with high consumption . I will never drink a coke or any of their products again , it will be hard though as they control so much of the beverage industry water included . Nice name by the way , would you like a coke with that

    Oh I remember parking in UCD well, when you pull in its a normal car park only 2 cars deep but when you got back to your car it’s blocked in and you have to wait hours to get your car out
