Gourmet bread that Coles claimed was “baked today, sold today” was actually made in Ireland, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has alleged in the Federal Court. Some of the items were frozen, reheated and then sold as “freshly baked in-store”, “baked today, sold today”, or were from “Coles Bakery”, the ACCC alleged.
The bakery products were either made in Ireland or had been initially baked in different locations in Australia, court documents showed.
The ACCC claims Coles’ advertising and logos contained “false, misleading and deceptive” claims about their bakery products, which could result in fines of up to $1.1 million per offence under Australian Consumer Law.
Any bread puns in the oven?

1. Confession: we never really cared for The Lord Of The Rings trilogy.
2. Confession Part 2: we actually thought The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) was all right, even though it took about two hours to get going.
3. Orlando Bloom’s had some digital work done. Remember when Orlando Bloom was a thing?
4. Hey! It’s Kate from Lost!
5. Sylvester McCoy – the Jar Jar Binks of The Hobbit?
6. Cumberbatch voices the dragon.
7. Peter Jackson really needs to knock the CGI and Green Screen on the head for a bit. That said, his first post Hobbit flick is a bloody Tintin sequel.
8. While we’re at it… What about that Game Of Thrones finale?

Michael Rigley, a student at the California College of Art, created this beautifully rendered and now somewhat timely animation about data capture from mobile phones for his BFA design thesis project. Sez he:
Information technology has become a ubiquitous presence. By visualizing the processes that underlie our interactions with this technology we can trace what happens to the information we feed into the network.
Camden Street, Dublin, this morning.
There’s someone stuck in that car.
Niall O’Malley writes:
The driver of the car has been stuck in it for the last 30 minutes He is wedged in, all 4 doors stuck. How the f*** did this happen?
When writing a menu for guests,
A chef will hear some strange requests,
But they must have asked “Why?”,
When ordered to fry,
Some prime ministerial breasts.
