@SarahBardon is it just me or is the OECD Director quite attractive?

Pascal Saint-Amans, Director, OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration being grilled earlier by the Oireachtas Joint sub-Committee on Global Taxation.
Will a man ever be allowed to do his job and not be judged by his looks?
Two just-released pictures of the Earth and the Moon. The first taken by NASA’s Cassini-Huygens spacecraft as it orbited Saturn – 900 million miles away – last Friday.
The second, taken last Saturday by the MESSENGER spacecraft orbiting Mercury – a mere 61 million miles away – shows us from the opposite direction.
Which is so not our good side.

The yet to be named bridge at Marlborough Street, Dublin, moments ago.
This does not look good.

Not sure what’s going on but all work on the new bridge has stopped while a small crowd look on, amid much pointing and waving of hands.
Anyone?

Wednesday: Lee Fields & The Expressions @ The Sugar Club, Leeson Street Lower, Dublin (€25)

As an alternative to Knockanstockan Festival in Blessington this weekend where the general consensus is that the atmosphere is great but the music quality is patchy, try a real “pure, gut-bucket soul singer” in the form of Lee Fields & His Expressions. Originally a soul singer in the ’70s, Fields was rediscovered and released his debut album in 2009. His performance is of the classic sweaty soul man variety.
James Earley writes via the Broadsheet App:
Not really a cake suitable for children’s parties is it? Spotted on Liffey Street [Dublin].
As it doesn’t have a ‘Like’ button.
Cayova, a new social media platform from a number of ‘boffins’ based in Stillorgan, Co Dublin.
It does all the Facebook stuff, but the user gets to keep copyright on everything they post.
And you can delete anything you want, at any time.
Oh, and they have a lovely little app that lets you track which online ad agencies are storing data about you.
Which is nice.
Pop over to Cayova.com before it goes mainstream.
Fair play though, in heir-ness.
Rt Honorable mention also to the Metro Herald.
