This latest bureaucratic caper,
Really is a cheap barrel scraper,
They can hold every file,
That they ever compile,
By waving imaginary paper.

A new star-crammed Irish comedy sketch for charidee
Jennifer Magee writes:
Some of the best actors and film crew in Ireland have come together for a number of online comedy sketches in aid of St Francis Hospice, Raheny [Dublin]. Immatürity for Charity features Domhnall Gleeson, Brendan Gleeson, Amy Huberman, Robert Sheehan, Hugh O’Conor, Brian Gleeson, David Wilmot and many more.
Their mission: to embarrass themselves with pride and embrace their immature side in comedy sketches that aim to raise money and awareness for the hospice.
Immatürity for Charity is now available to view online – Donate and view MORE sketches here
Meanwhile..
Why all the Gleesonage?

“If you think what’s going on right now is a joke, and you want to joke around about it, you should pick your stuff up and leave Patch today, and the reason is, and I’m going to be very specific about this, is Patch from an experience — Abel, put that camera down right now! Abel, you’re fired. Out! [Momentary pause.] If you guys think that AOL has not been committed to Patch, and won’t stay committed to Patch, you’re wrong. The company has spent hundreds of millions of dollars, the board of directors is committed, I’m committed…”

Hardcore.
Thanks Mark Geary

I know you don’t normally do this but…..I found a set of keys down the side of my seat at the window on the 5:15 from Westport to Heuston, I got on the train in Portarlington and only noticed them when I was getting off. Have a feeling they belong to someone who got off in Portarlington due to what what was left on the table, could have been any of the stations in between though all the tags seem local to Westport i.e. SuperValu, Tesco, Dunnes, Treacy’s pharmacy.. If they are yours I have left them with the Information desk in Heuston, contact them and they should be able to get them to either Portarlington, Westport or any station in between.
