Referring to those drivers who hare up the hard shoulder to skip the queue and then get what’s coming to them.
It’s the same in Russian.
AUTHORITIES IN one of Ireland’s best-known beauty spots are finally cracking the whip on horse-and-cart drivers who may be tempted to tell tall tales to tourists or let their animals defecate in public.
Boatmen and other commercial operators in Killarney National Park will also be targeted by a new penalty point system, with fines and points for a range of offences including non-wearing of dung-catchers and “abuse of a horse” in the case of jarveys. Traditionally tolerated “yarns” by the boatmen and jarveys are also coming in for close scrutiny for any misleading content.
In short: no more talkin’ it, droppin’ it or behavin’ like it.

Romney’s assault on Obama was rare among Republicans. Sarah Palin and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus joined him in condemning the president, but no other significant GOP leader thought it prudent to immediately single out the president for criticism.

How’s that working out?
Mitt Romney’s sharply-worded attack on President Obama over a pair of deadly riots in Muslim countries last night has backfired badly among foreign policy hands of both parties, who cast it as hasty and off-key, released before the facts were clear at what has become a moment of tragedy.

A supercut of meme-origins, from ‘Shut up and take my money!’ to ‘It’s a trap!’ and ‘I stabbed a man in the heart’.
Hahahaha!
We have no idea what any of this memes.
The Impossible Instant Lab is a collapsible device that allows you to turn iPhone screen images into actual Polaroid prints.
It’ll produce 150 prints on one charge and is compatible with film for Polaroid 600 and SX 70 cameras.
The makers (who got their project off the ground via Kickstarter) have apparently also bought the last Polaroid film factory, so consumables shouldn’t be a problem.
Not just photographs of water towers.
Inspired by German artists Bernd and Hilla Becha who dedicated years to photographing industrial structures, Jamie [Young]– through his photographs – makes the seemingly impossible possible giving emotive, personable characters to these objects and shining a entirely new light on these huge structures. Who knew?
Yes, yes.
But where are they (the four above)?
Anyone?
