Bang.

You might want to point your news team at the latest firearms legislation stuff that just got walked out yesterday. It looks like another diversion from the water taxes and the reports on the AGS, but this one is going to kick up a real stink, the Gardai basically just called every licenced firearms owner in Ireland a homicidal maniac (and/or paedophile)…

Lock.

Load.

What you may need to know:

1. It’s the sequel you’ve all been waiting for.

2. Different location, same jokes.

3. Looks like a feature length “Man Getting Hit By Football”.

4. This is competing against Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) . Marvel must be freaking out.

5. Kevin James proves that persistence and contacts are more important than talent and ability. I blame Adam Sandler. For everything.

6. Proving that Hollywood has something for everyone, this is for the individual who finds Jack Black movies too cerebral.

7. Broadsheet Prognosis: Like a Blart in a hot tub.

Release Date: April 17, 2015.

Claire Downey, from Repair Café, writes:

“The international movement that is Repair Café hits the streets of Dublin tomorrow at the Chocolate Factory, King’s Inn Street, between 12pm and 3pm. From broken plates to cracked iPhones, if you’ve got something broken, we’ve got the people who know how to fix it.”

“The movement to repair household items, instead of discarding or recycling them, began in 2009 in the Netherlands and has grown by an order of magnitude since, with cafés operating throughout Europe and the United States.”

“The event in the Chocolate Factory tomorrow is just the first of at least 15 planned over the next few months as the movement builds across the country, with the next on December 7th in Clontarf.”
