Miami

Served with a little umbrella in the cup (if you’re not careful).

Hollywood Babylon presents Miami Connection – this Saturday night at 10.30pm in the Light House Cinema in Dublin

The Hollywood Babylon sez:

“This is one of our favourite films which is about a motorbike-riding gang of drug-dealing ninjas in Miami’s stinky underbelly who face the fury of synth rock outfit, Dragon Sound, a rainbow coalition of orphans who also happen to be Taekwondo black belts in a complicated roundhouse wreck-wave of pseudo-Romeo & Juliet narrative twists.”

Mad isn’t it?

And how much do property developers owe local authorities across the country in unpaid development fees.

“In those days, there were unspoken rules about what you could and couldn’t discuss in a newspaper — especially to do with sex. Quite a few people enclosed stamped addressed envelopes asking for confidential advice. One of the most common questions I got was: ‘What is a sin?’
“People wanted black and white answers to their problems, but they didn’t get them because there are no black and white answers. Instead, I just tried to get people to think for themselves.”

Quite.
