You’ll recall Norwegian artist Markus Moestue’s velociraptor trike, upon which he planned to tour across Norway in protest at the dogmatic religious education of children.
Well he’s made a video of his 300km Stavanger to Kristiansand roadtrip.
They found another hot Hube (see below).

Today’s Irish Daily Mail
Ali Bracken and Eamon Donoghue, of the Irish Daily Mail, report [not online] that they’ve seen video footage of security staff filming protesters at Irish Water protests in Dublin.
They report:
In one video obtained by this newspaper, a [Irish Water] contractor in Swords, north Co. Dublin, assisting the water meter installers in July tells assembled protesters: “I want to make you aware you are in breach and you are being video-recorded at this moment of time and you are being video-recorded being told – and in some point in the future we may take you to court, it is an offence [against] section 12 [of the] Water Services Act.’
The worker continued: ‘But video evidence can be used at any time. I just want you to be aware of that. We now have video evidence of you breaching these rules…I’m not threatening you but I reserve the right to prosecute, and this is a promise is what I’m making (sic).’
Irish Water confirmed to the Mail last night that a contractor hired by them was recording some of the protesters. The semi-State company said in a statement that under section 12 of the 2007 Water Services Act, it is an offence for anyone to obstruct or interfere with a water services authority.
Blimey.

Ferret McGruber writes:
“The gap between rich and poor has expanded nearly everywhere in the last few years, but nowhere more than here in Ireland (see graph). Yesterday the UN voted to introduce a protective framework against ‘vulture funds’ for insolvent nations.
The resolution was carried with 124 in favour and only eleven nations against. One of the 11 nations to vote against the resolution: Ireland. I’m lying down lads. Put your boots on me neck…”

The FG Annual Think-In at the Fota Island Resort in County Cork.
An essay by Eamonn Farrell who writes:
“Normally a political party Think-In starts with the party leader addressing the media from a podium after his or her arrival at the event via a phalanx of brightly coloured mics, supported by a microphone holder on the podium. This year the party minders changed the set up with only the taoiseach, two ministers and a local TD at the podium. But they also left out the mic holders, which meant that the poor media operators (there are no journalists/photographers/cameramen or broadcasters anymore, just ‘media operators’), had to try and build a pyramid of individual mics…”

Dissolve (they of the excellent This Is A Generic Brand Video) sez:
Scenes you’ve seen … or have you? Using Dissolve stock footage – and the magic of editing – we’ve created this impressionistic homage to some classic movies. Can you name all 14 films?
Of course you can.

Oscar Pistorius and the late Reeva Steenkamp
RTÉ reports:
Oscar Pistorius has been convicted of the culpable homicide of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Culpable homicide is South Africa’s equivalent to manslaughter. The Olympic and Paralympic track star could face anything from a suspended sentence to 15 years in jail.
