Taken at a wedding in Spain at the weekend – seems a bit random. No Male couples?
Or just a very small cubicle?

Saw this in Dundrum [Dublin] yesterday, check out the driver’s door.
The charming Slow Mo Guys, Gav and Dan, break out the high speed camera to observe corn kernels popping, gradually slowing the action down to a glacial 10,000 frames per second.

PASSENGERS FLYING from Dublin Airport will face additional security measures for a number of months after an EU audit identified two deficiencies in security. The European Commission has taken formal proceedings to get Dublin Airport to address the problems, and it will temporarily impose additional restrictions on flights out of the airport.
Oh. Right, well let’s all stay calm and not make an already embarrassing situation worse, shall we?
Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said it was “unacceptable” that there had not been an “open, transparent and honest answer” about the security issues from either the Department of Transport or the Dublin Airport Authority.
He said it had been confirmed that the authority knew of the security failure for more than a month, and it was “so serious that Dublin-originating aircraft will now be treated as the same security risk as flights originating from Afghanistan and Somalia”.
*sigh*
Extra security measures for Dublin Airport as audit reveals shortfalls (Irish Times)
40 or 50 Garda officers are believed to be involved in the operation and access to [Eyre] square has been restricted.
It’s thought there were only around seven protesters in the camp when Gardai moved in to dismantle it early this morning.

I thought that you might be interested in this: USI (Union of Students in Ireland) are holding an online vote to determine whether they should abandon their campaign against fees. People who are no longer students have been able to vote (USI have admitted this on their Facebook page). Now a You Tube video (above) has been posted of someone who hacked into the back end of the voting system.

Lots of sightings of Mel Gibson in Dublin. Spotted at The Shelbourne and having dinner in Pichet. No idea why he is in town. He doesn’t look particularly bug-eyed raging or sweary. Must be one of his good days.
