You have to love this guy. Basically asking for the headline: Lying King.
Wherever Ivor is – and we’re betting the Horse Show – he’s kept the Broadsheet political reporters on their toes this week. Could there be a trip to the continent for our team, a chance for them to wear shorts outside the office?
No, we’ll just link to a few reliable sources as usual.

Apart from in the papers and the telly, like.
Today Fm are reporting that Ivor has left not only the building but maybe even the country. Which is kinda what we would have done too.

Yet another stag runs riot in Temple Bar. Eh, last January.
Ireland captain*. Millionaire. Dude. Gillette guy. Funny. Charming. Good cook.
These things are nothing to the simple, happy life we could have built for you.
But it’s too late.
So. You lose.
Latorz.
* Like to see how far he gets on Donkey Kong. BS highest score? 805,600 (Leinster record). Oh, I’m sorry, Brian, did we scare you?

“I think you’ve got our names down. We’re from 2006.”

Unconfirmed reports are coming in that Craig Doyle will present the next season of The Panel. He must operate on a strict, no-drumming policy, sources tell us. More when we get it.
OK. This is breaking. Again from RTE.ie:
It was also confirmed that Brendan O’Connor would be returning to our screens on ‘The Saturday Night Show’ after a successful debut last season.
See that Doyle. You see that, Mr Craig Doyle. That’s what happens when you fuck with the big boys. Oh, you down now. Take a Polaroid of that, UPC hotard.
* Mr O’Connor’s book ‘Dick in the Old Country’, recalling Richard Nixon and his glamorous wife, Pat’s historic 1970 trip to Ireland, will be published in the autumn.

After the bitter disappointment that Brian Blessed was passed over for the role of Odin in the upcoming Thor movie, comes news that he’s going to be a celebrity voice for Tom Tom Sat Navs. It’d nearly make me want to learn to drive.
From RTE.ie five minutes ago:
“The new season was launched by the new Managing Director of Television, Glen Killane who confirmed RTÉ’s new afternoon schedule for the coming year. Two new programmes have been slated in with Maura Derrane anchoring the new ‘4 Daily’ which will be followed by ‘Daily Extra’ presented by new ‘Rose of Tralee’ host Daithi Ó Se and Claire Byrne.”
More as we get it.
Choke on that, Craig so-called Doyle.
Our highlight of the upcoming Dublin Theatre Festival (sponsored by a bank) is the beautifully-shod, performance artist Amanda Coogan. And her play, Yellow. Which is, no. Let the programme speak for itself:
Yellow
“A woman dressed in a large yellow dress, continuously washes her enormous skirt in a bucket of soap water over 4 hours, to the intermittent strains of a piano composition by Franz Schubert. Originally authored by the performance artist Amanda Coogan, Yellow, which examines the frail and yet indomitable nature of human spirit, will be interpreted individually by six women over consecutive days.“
As Michael Macliammoir might have put it: “That don’t make me so horny.”
