The fruits of a recent ‘Holy Grail’ double barn-find:
A rare 1966 Ferrari 275GTB Long Nose Alloy and a barely broken-in (18,000 miles on the clock) 1967 Shelby 427 Cobra (one of only 260 such roadsters ever made).
Yours for around €2,600,000 and €1,000,000 respectively.
A night of spoken word and comedy.
In aid of Repeal the Eighth.
At 9pm downstairs at the Berlin Café, Dame Street, Dublin 2.
Funnier than the TV show.

Something weird going on, this (above) is being laid out and an auld fella is cutting down “warning graphic abortion images ahead” signs that were put on poles around the immediate area…

In 1662, a 19 year old Isaac Newton wrote a list of all the sins he believed that he’d committed ‘before and after Whitsunday of that year’. They included:
Making pies on Sunday night
Threatning my father and mother Smith to burne them and the house over them.
Making a feather while on Thy day.
Denying that I made it.
Putting a pin in Iohn Keys hat on Thy day to pick him.
Striving to cheat with a brass halfe crowne.
Having uncleane thoughts words and actions and dreamese.
Striking many
Wishing death and hoping it to some
Denying my chamberfellow of the knowledge of him that took him for a sot.

Ends Meet
A new 12-week sitcom on RTÉ 2 from the mind and pencil of Mark Baldwin (no stranger to ‘sheet readers).
Mark writes:
After three years of blood, sweat and animation Ends Meet is now airing on Rté 2 mondays at 11.30pm.
Running for 12 weeks we’ll see how the family Beezer, his son Sean Og and Beez’s granda Tony do what they can to get by and keep their heads above the water of life on welfare in the Northside of Dublin.
The first episode is on the Player )at link below) and next Monday we’ll see an origin story of how it all came together.
Other episodes will deal with mental health, feminism, discrimination, first kisses and all sorts of things that knock you out of your bliss and force you to confront them.
Fight!

Finian Murphy tweetz:
Is that folder called Paddy Files?
Because ‘toothless simpletons’ was too long?
Or just files belonging to a guy called Paddy?
We may never know.

Call Girl – Council Estate.
Barry H writes:
Call Girl are a guitar pop band from Dublin. They were formerly known as Death in the Sickroom, a band synonymous with intricate twelve-string guitar playing, glittering melodies, and acerbic portraits of unsavoury Dublin archetypes.
The change of name and style sees frontman and principal songwriter, Mark Heffernan, mature in his craft and further the group’s sonic progression with chorus laden ballads of self-doubt, grimier explorations of tension and momentum and colourfully overblown disco anthems.
Call Girl will play The Alternative Social Club in Toner’s , Baggot Street, Dublin 2 this coming SUNDAY afternoon at 4pm.
This morning.
But where?
No clue?
Lines must close at 1pm.
Answer: Clew Bay, County Mayo.
