When all the supply and demand factors are taken into account, when the context of the modest incipient recovery in the domestic economy is considered, and if the most serious risks facing the economy – sovereign default by the State and/or a euro zone break-up – do not come to pass, property prices have probably bottomed out.

Following menugate.
Howard Sattler (left), a Perth Radio show host, decided to ask Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard (right) about rumours concerning her partner Tim Mathieson.
Not one of his better ideas.
Howard Sattler: “Myths, rumours, snide jokes and innuendos, you’ve been the butt of them many times.”
Julia Gillard: “Well I think that’s probably right. We’ve certainly seen that this week.”
Howard Sattler: “Can I test a few out?”
Gillard: “In what way?”
Sattler: “Tim’s gay.”
Gillard: “Well…”
Sattler: “…No, that’s not me saying it. It’s a myth.”
Gillard: “Well that’s absurd.”
Sattler: “But you hear it. He must be gay, he’s a hairdresser.”
Gillard: “Oh, isn’t that…”
Sattler: “But you’ve heard it? It’s not me saying it. It’s what people…”
Gillard: “Well, I mean Howard, I don’t know whether every silly thing that gets said is going to be repeated to me now.”
Sattler: “No, no, no…”
Gillard: “But, you know, to all the hairdressers out there, including the men who are listening, I don’t think in life one can actually look at a whole profession full of different human beings and say ‘Gee we know something about every one of those human beings’, I mean, it’s absurd isn’t it?”
Sattler: “You can confirm that he’s not?”
Gillard: “Howard don’t be ridiculous. Of course not.”
Sattler: “No, but in a heterosexual relationship. That’s all I’m asking.”
Gillard: “Howard, you and I have just talked about that. So now that is bordering…”
Sattler: “No, I wanted to get rid of it.”
Gillard: “Howard, let me just bring you back to Earth.”
Sattler: “I’m not saying it.”
Gillard: “Right, well, let me just bring you back to Earth. You and I have just talked about me and Tim living at the Lodge. We live there together as a couple. You know that. Yes, on the internet there are lots of what I’ve referred to in the past as nutjobs and I’m happy to use the expression again…”
Sattler: “Good.”
Gillard: “…People who peddle and circulate vile and offensive things.”
Sattler: “Awful things.”
Julia Gillard: “Yeah absolutely.”

Dublin based stencil artist KEMP is having an exhibition in Vicar St. tonight prior to the Breeders gig from 6-8pm.
No invite required and you don’t need to be going to the gig to gain entry.
KEMP synopsises the night thus:
Chances of hipster presence- nailed on
Chances of tay – slim but wouldn’t totally rule it out
Chances of a bike being stolen- worth a punt
Chances of art featuring lost or cute pets, weather or things that look like Ireland- unfortunately nil.

The latest opinion poll seems,
Like the answer to Fianna Fáil dreams,
The country just flirted,
With nasty blueshirted,
Ideas, but they’re changing back teams.

In a very, very stupid attempt to leap over a speeding, oncoming car, Youtuber and high school long jumper friekenwork snatches an undeserved partial win from the jaws of fail.
As his friend in the car so rightly points out ‘Oh my Gawd-uh’.
That knee will be killing him when he’s older.
