While people have been very good to support us at the ploughing, would you believe that some ba****rd has stolen a load of our supplies and some equipment!
Thanks Steve Mac

“Areaman Productions and Paul Quinn have made a short documentary about the men (mostly) who sell ‘The Herald’ in traffic around Dublin city. It will screen this Saturday at the IFI at 5pm as part of the Stranger Than Fiction Festival. Though filmed on the streets of the capital, there is no English spoken in the film: our subjects are variously from Poland, Venezuela, Brazil, Malaysia. It is not an easy job and is not very well paid. Our short film aims to give voice to these people who everybody sees but nobody ever hears from…”

The Irish Sun reports:
Scorned Alan Shatter is set to spill the beans in a live TV interview tomorrow night. The former Justice Minister will use an appearance on the Late Late Show as a revenge mission against his former pal Enda Kenny.
Yikes.

“It’s a fond salute to Ciaran Walsh, ex of Le Cool and my old studio mate for five years. T Rex on the loose? Ain’t no thang.”
Name that street anyone?

Oh.
What you may need to know:
1. Philip is a self-absorbed writer awaiting the release of his second novel which he is convinced will be a hit. Bored with both his daily routine and his girlfriend, a meeting with his literary idol offers him a chance to escape the city for a while. Much comedic navel-gazing ensues.
2. The film has been doing the film festival rounds since Sundance in January. It’s going to the London Film Festival on October 9 before going on limited release in the US after securing a distributor back in June.
3. This is director Alex Ross Perry’s third feature and it focuses on middle aged regret, among other themes. Perry has just turned 30. Mmmmf.
4. Perry’s meandering film narrative, where the character focus changes for large periods of time, was inspired by William Gaddis’ novel The Recognitions.
5. Perry’s previous film The Colour Wheel (2011) was theindiewire.com’s best undistributed film of 2011. Being undistributed is the new beard.
6. Jason Schwartzman was previously the drummer with the band Phantom Planet. Phantom Planet was responsible for some horrendous dancing on an episode of Sabrina The Teenage Witch as well as the the ear assault that is ‘California’, the theme tune to teen-drama ‘The O.C.‘
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: Rushmore is middle aged.
Release Date: TBC

“I was clamped for being parked “in 3 spaces” in the apartment block where I live. Maybe I am biased so I was looking for your readers opinions. I am basically on the white lines, but my spot is against the wall so I have to come out a bit to fit. And as long as I have lived there all 5 spots around me have been empty. I think it just highlights the issues of private bullshit clamping.To be fair they are going to deal with it quickly…. ‘We will endeavour to respond to you within 28 working days once a full review of your case has been completed, and a decision has been made’.”
Anyone?
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can endure frank language, maybe you should ‘Ask A Broadsheet Reader’? Dilemmas, queries, etc to Broadsheet@broadsheet.ie
