We don’t normally do this.

But as it’s a Pinarello Cadore…

I’d really appreciate if you could post this on your site. My friend’s Pinarello Cadore bike (above) was stolen outside Maplin [Electronics] on Jervis Street, Dublin, on Monday. It has bright yellow tyres and a yellow saddle. It’s the only one in the city and he really loves it. If anyone spots it could they please call Store St Garda station on 01 6668000?


Of this common movie poster device (click to enlarge), Christophe Courtois, who spends a lot of time cross-referencing such things, sez:

The process is obviously to deprive the viewer of a face that would look natural, to direct their attention to another detail (a costume, posture, hand, breast …): the manipulation is actually quite sexist , but quite effective. Only the world-famous actresses, will be readily understood and escape the guillotine.

Frances Fitzgerald.

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs.

A senior cabinet position with enormous responsibilities.

Such as takeaways in Foxborough and pedestian crossings in Griffeen

Cllr. Tony Delaney and I lodged a joint submission on the Boot Road
decision to An Bord Pleanala last week. We believe that the developers
latest response exaggerates the suitability of the site for a centre
like this. Their response claims that between the bus routes and Metro
service the site on Boot Road is adequately served by public
transport.

I am delighted that the planning application for a take away facility
at the Centra in Foxborough has been denied. I, along with Cllrs.
William Lavelle, Emer Higgins and a number of other public
representatives and residents objected to this application as it would
have had adverse effects on the community in terms of attracting
additional traffic and anti-social behaviour into this residential
area.

I understand that following a long campaign, led by Cllr. William
Lavelle and I, the Council look set to approve funding for a
pedestrian crossing on Griffeen Avenue.

N81 Update– Concerns over preferred route
I have since written a detailed letter to the Minister for Transport,
Leo Varadkar, and lodged a comprehensive submission to the National
Roads Development Office. I am asking that the very valid concerns of
residents be taken into account.

How does she do it?

Well, soon anyway. A promo for Sony’s melon-twisting Tokyo Jungle, set for release next June. It features fifty playable animal breeds set loose in a deserted Japan, competing in packs to survive.

Single player will focus on figuring out what happened to humanity through missions played through the perspective of a Pomeranian and a race horse.

There’s also humping pandas. Ah Japan. Never change.
