A full list (voiced by the late great Phil Hartman) of Troy McClure’s films, TV series, self-help specials, musicals and celebrity funerals – from The President’s Neck Is Missing to Smoke Yourself Thin – here.

No sooner had Irish deputy prime minister Eamon Gilmore [above] released a statement saying that negotiations had been “concluded” were MEPs rushing to twitter and their press offices to denounce what they saw as an attempt to steamroller them into a deal.
Austrian socialist MEP Hannes Swoboda referred to “blackmail” by the EU presidency, representing member states, and said there had not been enough progress on one of the MEPs’ key demands – flexibility to allow unspent money to be used elsewhere rather than flowing back to member states.
Guy Verhofstadt, a Belgian liberal MEP, said “there is still no agreement” and criticized the scope of the proposed budget revision clause, saying parliament does not want to be locked into a “straitjacket.”
Negotiations were carried out with the Irish presidency and the parliament’s main budget MEPs, including the lead negotiator Alain Lamassoure, a French centre-right deputy.

Psychic Sally Morgan has never “used a hidden earpiece during her performance in order to receive instructions from her team which she then repeated on stage as if she had received them from the spirit world”
And has just won a libel case against The Daily Mail on that particular subject.
This leaves three options.
According to Science journalist Tom Chivers:
1) She really is talking to dead people.
2) She is not really talking to dead people, but does genuinely believe that she is talking to dead people
3) She is not really talking to dead people, does not genuinely believe she is talking to dead people, but does want to convince other people that she is talking to dead people, at least partly for financial reasons.
YOU decide.
Phil Postma’s entirely believable reimagining of Flash Gordon as a Pixar movie.
A powerful animation created entirely in After Effects by director Rob Chiu, intended as a fictional backstory to the global displacement of peoples.
The short which depicts a family’s tragedy in a city rocked by turmoil, originally released in 2005, was uploaded to Vimeo by the director yesterday, having lost none of its impact.
A couple nattering over cups of tay.
By Conor & David who sez:
With next week’s issue being a coffee special, we didn’t want to forget about Ireland’s ubiquitous non-alcoholic beverage – tea. It’s the fuel behind our love for talking. An Irish tea break pushes the boundaries of one’s tolerance to be talked at for what seem like micro-eternities.
Coffee has become an essential ingredient in the running of our studio. We wanted to illustrate its effects as we reflected on a few (too many) late nights when this magical potion was the making or breaking of an important project.
But not flame retardant sadly.

The ’emigrant flame’ from JFK’s eternal flame in Arlington Cemetery, Washington DC arrives at Dublin Airport carried by government chief whip Paul Kehoe (top) and ceremoniously handed over by Lieutenant Colonel Brendan Delaney (left) to Lt Comdt Conor Kirwin (right).
The flame will form part of a ceremonial event in New Ross, Co Wexford on Saturday as part of the JFK50 celebratory events.
Not odd in the slightest.
