In 2010, extreme unicyclist Lutz Eichholz landed the highest recorded unicyle drop in history.
Last year – apparently recovered from what one can only assume to have been extreme perineal trauma – he and fellow one-wheeled thrill junkie Stephanie Dietze made a 3011m descent in the dolomites.
Unsettling

Meanwhile, back in January:
[Opposing the purchase of the house for the family] Fianna Fail [Donegal] county councillor Sean McEniff said: “I am not a racist or a bigot, but I believe Travellers should live in isolation.”
Fine Gael Cllr Eugene Dolan supported Mr McEniff’s comments, saying: “As far as I’m concerned they can be sent to Spike Island [a former prison in Co Cork] for all I care.”

How Irish?
“I tried to trace my family roots in Ireland, but I got so embarrassed that I had to stop. It was not a pretty picture.”
Oh.

“A 21-year-old Irishman was stabbed in the neck during a drunken street brawl in Scarborough. Police received reports of three to four men fighting on Helmsley Street about 2.30pm yesterday.
“Insp. David Picton-King said the Kenwick man, an Australian resident, was kicked, punched and stabbed in the neck, while another man had a bottle smashed over his head during the fracas. He said the men involved had been drinking when the fight broke out. There were several witnesses to the brawl.
“A St John Ambulance spokeswoman said the Kenwick man was taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. He remains in a critical condition this morning. Police have charged a 32-year-old Atwell man with intent to do grievous bodily harm. He will appear in the Perth Magistrate’s Court today.”

iPhone4 found in Cow’s Lane [Temple Bar, Dublin] at 8.30 this morning, but there was lots of rain on it so I’d say it’s been there over night. But it’s still working and currently charging (above). The person who owns it has a few meeting reminders popping up. I would like to get this back to the owner so if they could get in touch and tell me something about the phone so I know it’s theirs, that would be great.
Anyone?
