Noticed on Twitter this morning that the [Iona] ant-gay marriage video had been taken down. It now seems that the Iona institute account has been suspended…
Never mind.
We’ll always have this.
Previously: is The Iona Catholic?
UPDATE: It’s back.

They’re just about to go for a double axel pair lift.

Third Smoke – People Are Messy
Popular Dundalk beat combo in tunsesome, caper-filled search for the secret to inward and outward happiness.
Spolier alert: It’s ice cream (obvs).
Thanks Chris Rocks
I thought I would share this piece {link below] written by Pat Barrett, a long term leader of many in various branches of HMV.
HMV employed me for almost five years, both in Ireland’s flagship Grafton Street store as well as three stores in the UK. Pat, along with the other managers I worked under, made a job in retail not just bearable, but also educational and interesting.
If it weren’t for people like Pat, who is talking about his new experience on the unemployment line via twitter (@patracer1) and Chris Keena who was leading the sit in protest in his Limerick store – I would not know a lot of the music I listen to today.
And people who work in these stores don’t just educate the people who work in these stores. they educate a lot of the people who walked in the stores.
Branches in the UK are still trading yet they have sacked off the entire Irish operation…barking mad? I thought so…
I Wish all HMV Ireland staff the best for the future.

In stark contrast to the official second-term portrait posted recently on the Whitehouse Flickr page, this video by Jeremy Tubbs – featuring 2,500 photographs of Obama taken every day over the last four years – shows the true toll of office on Obama’s mug.

Excuse me?
This is a grade 6 armour plated car that was commissioned by the UN from the Macneillie and son to drive [UN Secretary General] Ban ki Moon, it was also used by De Beers diamond merchants for transport and the Sultan of brunei is another past passenger.
This car has a 2.9 Cosworth engine, run flat tires, bolt action locking system, sirens, smoke screen, and is perfect for people who deal in cash business (publican, bookie). This is a very discrete car, drives well, you will not find a safer car than this in Ireland (€12,500).
