The two opening salvos in a video series from Delve addressing misplaced connections between creativity and success.
Late starters, losers, rejects, also-rans, directionless 30 year-olds, take heart – there’s hope for us all.
Kidding.
We had our chance, it’s over.

How YOUR local authority cash is spent.
From boffin-heavy “independent” think tank Public Policy.ie.
The people behind the shocking Where does your tax go?, the splutter-inducing Where does your tax on beer & fags go? and the genuinely horrific Where did the Troika money come from?

Pubic hair matters because it is a major issue among young women. We’ve somehow become subject to the unreasonable expectations of others. However it came to be the case, it certainly is the case that very many young men expect women’s pubic hair to be either very carefully groomed or non-existent.
Perhaps it is the legacy of pornography. Perhaps it’s just another means by which a misogynistic society imposes itself on women’s sense of what it means to be female. Whatever the reason, it is unadulterated nonsense.
We have been duped. So many young women I know are having their pubic hair torn from their skin because their partner wishes or expects them to do so.
FIGHT!

Scenes from the Technical Engineering and Electrical Union (TEEU) protest at the Department of Education’s site for the new DIT education campus in Grangegorman, Dublin this morning.
Sam writes:
“Union members blocked the entrance in a dispute over pay and conditions and conditions of Workers at the site. The Union say that workers should be getting the appropriate rates of pay including sick pay, pension and mortality benefit which they are not getting on this site.”

Please consider sharing my online poster for Europe. I think I am the only European candidate to eschew the ghastly poster blight. If people want to look at my face – they can do so on my online poster. It’s called permission based postering!
Only recycled electrons were used in the making of this video.
Fair play though in fairness.
Meanwhile…
Great chat with 6th class boys in Scoil Assaim Raheny. Best Q- 'Do politicians get their photo taken by surprise for their posters?'
