Fancy some free Lindt chocolate?
Next Monday, January 16th is Blue Monday, allegedly the most depressing day of the year, but Lindt has come to the rescue.Researchers have said that the third week in January is when we are at our lowest – it’s still freezing cold, the days are still darker, we’re broke because we haven’t been paid in weeks, we’re not socialising, and we’ve probably not booked any holidays.It is also said to be the time motivation wanes, and New Year’s resolutions start failing.
Blue Monday was originally the concept of Dr. Cliff Arnall, a tutor at Cardiff University’s Centre for Lifelong Learning, in 2005. He calculated it using a series of factors, such as days since the last payday, days until the next Bank Holiday. Dr. Arnall also looked at the average temperature, hours of daylight, and number of nights in.Lindt has decided to buck the trend of the most depressing day of the year by making the people of Dublin smile.

Michael McDowell: Radical change is needed to make Dublin a liveable cityMichael McDowell: Are we being thrown scraps instead of radical change in the way our cities are planned, designed and renewed? Because we have too may barristers? Just a thought... This is the net result of failure to grasp the nettle of decentralisation. Everything has been focused into Dublin 1, 2 and 8 with the result that the capital has become an unaffordable mess. It's beyond time for a second capital. Pretty clear that Michael McDowell has zero grasp of the actual housing needs of current Dublin residents, who increasingly need homes suitable for households of only one or two people. The IT should also disclose his personal NIMBY interests in the routing of Metrolink.
