They can’t help it. They were just born slippy.

No, 20, Abington, Malahide (above) was first registered in both names – David and Lorraine Drumm – in 2003.

It was transferred from the couple’s names on May 13th, 2009, into the sole name of Lorraine Drumm as ‘full owner’ c/o the Dublin offices of solicitor Noel Smyth.

Now, Anglo Irish Bank has been granted an injunction against Lorraine preventing her from transferring half the property BACK into Mr Drumm’s name

The bank told the court it feared this was being done to put the house beyond the reach of creditors.

But surely the last?

From The Irish Daily Mail. October 29, 2009:

ITS LLAMAS got loose on a notorious motorway and now Australian Super Circus Sydney stands accused of animal cruelty after owners brought a kangaroo to a nightclub.
Complaints were made to the Louth Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals after the PR stunt last Thursday. Its inspector says she will object to the Earth Nightclub in Drogheda renewing its licence if it happens again.
ISPCA inspector Fiona Squibb explained: ‘The animal was walked around the nightclub amongst people who had been drinking and there was obviously loud music. A circus does not have drunken yobs in it and what happened was a disgrace. It is cruelty to animals. But yesterday, Yvette Schole, who runs the circus with husband Alexander, said the kangaroo ‘had never been to a nightclub before. It is one thing that happened just one time’.
She said it coincided with the club having a circus theme for two nights last week. Earlier this month, the circus made headlines after some of its llamas made it from their base in Tallaght, on to the M50 and the Red Cow roundabout.

And what about the kangaroo that went missing in Cork?

Our mothers and fathers knocked the ‘fussy’ out of us with physical abuse and verbal cruelty.

We didn’t turn out so bad.

And there were no roaming charges.

Mary Byrne’s video for ‘Siúil Leat’.

The one she released having won TG4’s  Nollaig No.1 in 2008 as Mary Lee.

We ran this a couple of weeks ago.

But nobody paid any attention.

Because it was posted before she was just a plucky Tesco checkout lady.

Back at 9am.

With hope in our hearts.
