“THE taxi driver who took sex fiend Larry Murphy from Arbour Hill Prison had no idea that he was allowing a sex fiend into his car. Niall Bates said he was relieved the whole ordeal was over and he could get on with his life.”
But what if the taxi entered an interdimensional wormhole just beyond Arbour Hill which transported Mr Bates back to the pickup spot and left him unable to control the steering-wheel and left him enduring the ordeal in a loop for all eternity?
Run. Run for your LIVES!

An oldie but, oh yes, a goldie.
Kidding. It’s Sean Penn ( Mr Spicoli to us) and it’s his 50th.
We’ll be there a little late. Once Jim Jim’s left (long story).
Now, how come he didn’t get an Oscar for this:

Lenihan Should Resign Because Of Ill-Health (Sam Smyth, Irish Independent)
Look. We’ve beaten the Dutch.
Top Six Most Indebted Nations In The World
1. Ireland – Debt/GDP: 997% the economy reversed course in 2009 and contracted 7%. This eroded tax revenues and sent the annual deficit to a record 14.3% of GDP. The European Union set a target for Ireland to reduce that figure to 3% by 2014, but the International Monetary Fund has indicated that the deadline will be missed. Moody’s has subsequently lowered its bond rating.
2. Netherlands – Debt/GDP: 467%
3. United Kingdom – Debt/GDP: 409%
4. Switzerland – Debt/GDP: 273%
5. Portugal – Debt/GDP: 228%
6. Austria – Debt/GDP: 214
La La La La. I’m not listening:
“Ireland’s Treasury now has to pay investors a premium of nearly 3 percentage points to get investors to buy its 10-year bonds instead of safer Germany’s. This so-called “risk premium” stood at around 2.4 percentage points a week ago.”
“In the derivatives market, it now costs over $270,000 a year to insure $10 million of Ireland’s government debt against the risk of default, compared with $207,000 in early August, a massive 30% jump.”
“The Emerald Isle also had to throw investors a bone: The average interest rate on Ireland’s six-month borrowing today was 2.458% compared with 1.367% on a similar bill in July.”
Busted!

That’s right, he’s the son of Dan Quayle. And his bid for Congress has just run into a bit of a problem.
Turns out he’s involved (under a pseudonym) with a website that posts pictures of pretty young women, then invites commenters to nitpick their appearance.
Hah!
Wait.
What?
An incredible 42 hours after publishing what some have described as the most poorly-subbed article in its 151-year history, the Irish Times has failed to apologise, or make any reparation in the light of last Tuesday’s ‘Trappatoni To Stay In Hospital Overnight’ article snafu.
Irish Times Editor Geraldine Kennedy, a widely acknowledged hard-liner on grammar, was unavailable for comment, we imagine.
Unconfirmed reports of thousands of flies swarming behind the windows of the paper’s Tara Street offices suggest that chaos reigns there now.
