Once more it seems women who write,
Face the threat of a bomb in the night,
Some losers on twitter,
Have now got so bitter,
They get off on causing a fright.

YOU Decided

(Pat Kenny, above, our polling data and the Charlotte Church incident at 33 seconds,, preceded by a snazzy alt-PK opening-title sequence)
Polls closed at 9am this morning.
It was a bad night for the favourite, ‘Blacked-up Child’ and the several Late Late Toy Show contributions.
But the horrific RTE Radio 1 Charlotte Church incident was overwhelmingly chosen As YOUR favourite toe-pretzeling moment during Pat Kenny’s career with RTE.
He was a giant.

A timelapse shot at sunset two nights ago near Fanore, County Clare, by David Hunt.

“This footage was all taken in the space of about 3 hours on a magical evening… Shot with a 5DII and a 5DIII, with a custom build motorised rail.”
Get him.

What you may need to know:
1. Those crazy kids who brought you Silver Linings Playbook (2012) are BACK! And they’ve brought Batman, Hawkeye and Lois Lane with them!
2. American Hustle is directed by David O’Russell, and stars Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner – Bobby De Niro and Louis CK are in it too.
3. Re: Good Times Bad Times on the soundtrack – you gotta get special permission to use a Led Zeppelin track in your movie – ask Jack Black.
4. Make no mistake, this movie is ALL about the hair. Bale aside, Cooper’s ‘jew-fro’ is channeling Sean Penn in Carlito’s Way (1993).
5. Yes, it’s based on a true story. The movie was originally titled American Bullshit. Fact.
6. ‘I just got bigger balls than you.”
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: (1) They may have seen Goodfellas (1990). (2) There will be nominations. (3) The comb over is officially back.

A study by ‘boffins’ J.D Wood, J. Dykes and A. Slingsby plots internal migration over our little green, rain-sodden plot.
They say:
“We study internal migration in Ireland, an aspect of migration that is little-studied. OD Maps have enabled us to characterise aspects of spatial patterns in county to county migration more effectively than with other techniques. We found that internal migration is relatively local, but relatively national for Dublin. Although migration increased between 1851 and 1911, there was a decrease in more local migration. This work explores the origins of trends that would continue for over a century and had a profound effect on the population geography of the island.”
But the damn careless hipsters at Wolfgang Digital WILL.
Rob Beirne explains:
I know you don’t usually do this but we came into work today at Wolfgang Digital to find that one of our beloved Wolfgang fixies was stolen last night. We’re located in Dublin 2, near Google, and it’s a pretty distinctive looking bike… there’s always a chance someone will spot it out and about.
When it was neither popular nor profitable.
Or, indeed, to ‘some’ eyes, pretty.
