Aging can be quite a scare,
As you wither, start losing your hair,
Such a shame at your age,
To end up on a stage,
Arguing with an empty chair.

So Ulster Bank is announcing its compensation scheme for customers today? Tried to log into my internet banking (above) just now – uh oh, this screen looks familiar.

A couple of the lads from school ended up in Canada, obviously with competition for jobs so high they’ve had to branch out into other professions. Here we have [Jamie ‘Fearless’ Fearon] a professional stuntman in the making…

I thought with the weekend that was in it these may interest people, when the game last visited Dublin in 1989 [Pittsburgh Versus Rutgers at Lansdowne Road], my old man got us down to the sideline and sitting with the players. How, I have no idea. In the picture where I am being held aloft, that is Alex Van Pelt, current running backs coach for the Green Bay Packers. Cannot wait for this weekend.
This morning.
Anyone?

Update: They are there for Funconf – a tech conference on this weekend.
Youtuber Thisnomyp’s 5 year chronicle of his constantly changing hairdos, constantly changing facial furniture and rather less than constantly changing duvet covers, with some nifty stop-motion thrown into the mix to raise it above the normal standard of time-lapse videos.

What you may need to know:
1. it’s been a long time since anyone went to see a Robert Redford movie. The Sundance Kid had a killer run in the ’70s, then made some fine movies as a director and and founded the most influential film festival this side of Cannes. That doesn’t mean we forgive him for The Horse Whisperer (1998).
2. The Company You Keep sees Redford in Three Days Of The Condor (1975) mode, by way of All The President’s Men (1976).
3. Seriously killer cast. And Shia LeBeouf.
4. Greatest Living Irish Screen Actor @ 1’50 (or thereabouts).
5. That’s meant to be his daughter? He’s 76, FFS.
