“Hi Body and Soul Survivors I got the 1am bus [Bus Eireann] back from Body and Soul [Co Westmeath to Custom House Square, Dublin] on Sunday night and the village idiot I am managed to grab the wrong rucksack from the bus. (It was 2.30am don’t judge me …) I found an address for the one I currently have (I’ve made contact with his college) but if anyone picked up a rucksack from that bus can you email [broadsheet@broadsheet.ie. I am beyond heartbroken, it has sentimental jewellery and vintage t-shirts in there as well. The rucksack was a long blue one – If you look inside It has my ancient red wellington boots (amongst other much loved items). Haribou for life if you return it to me,”
Anyone?
UPDATE: Implausibly bag and wellies located [see comments] Thanks Richie.
What you may need to know
1. The Leprechaun movies are one of horror’s least celebrated franchises, and quite rightfully so.
2. Set in Ireland, shot in Vancouver. Nice brogues.
3. This reboot is brought to you by wrestling entertainment empire the WWE, and features WWE superstar Dylan ‘Hornswoggle’ Postl.
4. The original Leprechaun (1993) gave Jennifer Aniston (plus her original nose) her big break.
5. The true masterpiece, however, is 2000’s Leprechaun In The Hood, starring Ice T
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Now THAT’S what we call an Irish movie.
Release Date: August (US)
Thanks Bazmeister General
