The chamber they’re planning to axe,
Is where failed politicians relax,
While boosting their pension,
And seeking attention,
And getting their hands on our tax.

Think of it as a watered-down Portmarnock beach riot scene.

Who sez:
I thought I’d do an Irish beach scene. As I was sketching it out I realised that I don’t like the beach very much as I burn in the sun and hate being sticky with suncream so I decided to draw a nightmare beach scene with all of the negative connotations that the beach conjures up for me. And Godzilla.

What you may need to know
1. Harrison Ford fans might be in for a bit of a shock. He’s rocking a new hair-do. Or lack thereof.
2. Truth be told, it’s been a looooooong time since Harrison Ford mattered. But back in the day, he was the man. He’s got four movies out this year, including Anchorman 2 (2013). Then there’s the whole Star Wars: Episode 7 (2015) thing.
3. It doesn’t hurt to have Gaz Oldman in the mix either. Oldman and Ford last shared the screen in Air Force One (1997). All together, now: ‘Get off my plane!’
4. Who’s the kid? Liam Hemsworth, from The Hunger Games (2012). His brother plays Thor.
5. Wait a minute… Was that Richard Dreyfuss?
Prognosis: Scenery will be chewed. Oh yes.

We are a couple of freelance journos blogging the events in Istanbul for Rabble.ie.
This is our most recent report and we’ve been uploading stuff daily, live tweeting at @wearerabble and uploading videos using a YouTube account called giongielty, all the interview-recording, coddling and writing off smartphones…We’d obviously like to reach as wide an audience as possible to help highlight what is happening here.

In relation to the bike stand here is a picture on of it in good use this morning! After riding the majority of the canal yesterday with the stand it was inevitable that a quick refreshment break was to be undertaken in all of Dublin’s glorious sunshine!
