McDaid Resigns Dail Seat (RTE)

We may never see his like again:

“The TD turned left on a slip road from the N7, heading for Newbridge, and came to Newhall roundabout. There, he turned right and drove the wrong way around the Newhall roundabout before going up the wrong side of the dual carriageway known locally as the Newbridge Road. Other vehicles, which met the TD’s brand new Volvo, were seen swerving to avoid the car. At one stage an ambulance also met him, flashing its lights.”

Lusty geeks worldwide (and despairing feminists) are, we assume, abuzz with the news that Wonder Woman may be returning to the small screen in 2013 with the moderately-easy-on-the-eye South African model/actress Tanit Phoenix in the title role.

Yes, yes. She’s probably very talented, But she’s no Lynda Carter.

In a follow-up to yesterday’s post on the yes-we-already-knew-that recent study by the Lancet medical journal which concluded that alcohol is a much more dangerous drug than heroin, crack and meth, we thought you could use a graph.

Or a drink.

It’d make a great T-shirt though.

Alcohol ‘more harmful than heroin’ says Prof David Nutt (BBC)
