Are you sitting comfortably?

Outside the new Bord Gais offices at 1 Warrington Place. Workers unbox hundreds of new Herman Miller Aeron chairs (list price: $970 – $1250) and wheel them into the lobby.
Just weeks after the announcement by Bord Gais that it plans to raise energy prices by 20 per cent.
The pile of boxes in the first pic are *all* empty Aeron boxes. The second pic is of the lobby, with about €100,000 of chairs waiting to be taken upstairs. Taken literally 70 mins ago.

Fianna Fail TDs and Senators are to be urged not to run an internal party candidate in the presidential election.
A special committee comprised of leader Micheal Martin, deputy Eamon O’Cuiv and four other senior members met for under two hours in Leinster House to discuss the party’s position on the race.
Party sources said five opted against running a contender from the rank and file, while Mr O’Cuiv, who has been touted as a potential candidate, was the only one in favour.
Pft. Bertie could have told them that.

Polar explorer (among other things) Huang Nubo – China’s 16th richest person – has offered $100 million to buy 300 square kilometres of Iceland’s wilderness for an hotel, golf course and tourist resort.
That’s 0.3% of the total surface area of Iceland. As Mark Frauenfelder of BoingBoing usefully points out, the tattoo on Bjork’s arm there represents 0.3% of the total surface area of Bjork.
Opponents have questioned why such a large amount of land – equal to about 0.3 per cent of Iceland’s total area – is needed to build a hotel. They warned that the project could provide cover for China’s geopolitical interests in the Atlantic island nation and Nato member.
While home to just 320,000 people, Iceland occupies a strategically important location between Europe and North America and has been touted as a potential hub for Asian cargo should climate change open Arctic waters to shipping.

A daily web show (and a full time living by all accounts) for Jonathan Joly, Anna Saccone and their Maltese puppies Albi and Sina. Apparently they’re getting married this Thursday, and if you manage to stick it out to 13:00, you’ll see why guys like this sometimes get girls like that. To their fans, they’re the real Vogue and Brian.
