During yesterdays match between Anorthosis and Omonia Nicosia in Cyprus, a thug in the crowd (possibly inspired by a similarly classy display in Iran last month) throws an expolsive at an injured Anorthosis player.
Incredibly, nobody was hurt in the blast.
Customs officers have reported a large increase in the discovery of ecstasy in items entering the Republic in the postal service and in private courier parcels.
The drug is one of a range of synthetic substances being discovered with much greater frequency since head shops and the psychoactive products they sold were banned under legislation in 2010.
Gardaí and Customs officers also believe ecstasy has begun to make a return because it is much cheaper than cocaine, the consumption of which has decreased since the recession began and disposable incomes were hit.
In 2010 the value of ecstasy seized by Customs stood at €3,390. Last year this increased to 41,000 tablets and 3kg of the drug in seizures throughout the year, with a combined estimated value of €700,000.

A stunning Google-flavoured timelapse of the teeming Malaysian capital involving “5 months, 400 hours of solid work, 4 cameras, 40 shoots, 640 gigabytes of data and 19,997 photographs” by photographer Rob Whitworth, who sez:
Kuala Lumpur: super-modern buildings juxtaposed with various cultural enclaves and with a little of Asia’s chaos thrown in. My time lapse explores how the city changes from day to night highlighting how spaces dramatically alter during the course of a few hours.
Spotted in the Pumphouse, Kilkenny.

Saw this sign at the Star Trek convention in London regarding when Mr Clark will be back from lunch to sign more autographs… Which would be until after lunch.
Made me chuckle.
A nice black marlin off Cairns, Australia jumps and lands aboard the “Little Audrey.”
The crew was lucky to escape with only minor injuries and the feisty marlin was released.
‘Mediterranean’ is right.
