This just in.

Was only going to be a matter of time, in fairness.

Took a Transavia flight, and flicked through the in-flight magazine for travel tips…saw the map and thought I should definitely go surfing in the wild Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Liverpool.

Ms Justice Mary Laffoy agreed in the High Court with the decision of a Revenue Appeals Commissioner that Mr O’Brien’s permanent home in the tax year 2000/2001 was Quinta de Lago, Almanscil, Portugal, and not Ireland.

Some are complex (the dunes and sweater in pic7), some are subtle (the single plaid square matching a section of roof in pic1) and one juxtaposes two complementary aerials (pic2) because that’s also nice.

A Brazilian TV report of the arrest of fugitive solicitor Michael Lynn presented by Sharonos Ni Bheolainos and Miriam O’Callareino.

Not as sensational as this gentleman however.

Any excuse

Thanks Darren McVeigh

What you may need to know:

1. It’s possibly the most superfluous remake since that shot-for-shot Psycho.

2. That said, it’s not half bad.

3. Who’s Robocop? Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman, from the US version of The Killing. He nearly got the Mad Max gig, but Tom Hardy bagged that one.

4. Sam Jackson, Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton? We’re amazed there’s any scenery left. NB: Michael Keaton needs to work more.

5. No, we don’t get a Peter Weller cameo.

6. Actually, just watch the original again. It’s a pulp masterpiece.

7. Broadsheet Prognosis: Fair Cop
