Jasmine Tridevil

Oh.

Extreme motorboatin’.

An American woman has claimed to have had a third breast surgically added to her chest. The 21-year-old, who calls herself Jasmine Tridevil, wants to be a reality star. She posts videos of her daily life in Tampa, Florida, on Facebook to “show the struggles she faces because of her surgery.” Tridevil has also claimed she had the surgery because she didn’t want to appear as attractive to men….”

Has it worked?

Boob You decide.

Greyhound workers at Liberty Hall earlier this month

The Lockout is over.

Peace bin our time.

The agreement includes a redundancy package of two weeks’ pay plus statutory entitlements of two weeks per year of service for the workers who have decided to leave the company.
13 of the workers who are remaining with the company will retain their previous terms and conditions.
These workers will work on a Dublin City Council contract to collect waste from social housing units and will be selected according to length of service at the company.
Workers who are remaining with the company but will not be working on the social housing contract have agreed a wage reduction of between 15% and 20%.
These workers will also be compensated for the changes in their terms and conditions of employment by receiving a payment of a sum equal to 30% of the redundancy package to which they would have been entitled if they were leaving the company.

Result, in fairness.

“Just heard a ‘random’ caller to Liveline [on RTÉ Radio One] called Stephen praising JobBridge. I will bet the €50 I will earn this week on this scheme that Stephen is a stooge put forward by the government…”

“My other half’s bike was stolen from the rear of our place in Portobello [Dublin] at the weekend. It was locked with a serious looking kryptonite lock behind a locked gate. So who ever took it went to a lot of effort.
As you can see – it’s not easily missed. It’s a NoLogo Bike. With a Flip Flop hub – was flipped to single speed when we last had it – and it has no lights. The bike was a present from me for last Christmas. And his first ‘nice’ bike so he wasn’t that happy to see it missing over the weekend. Your lovely readers may be able to help?”

Anyone?
