The first salmon of the 2016 season has been landed at Lough Curran [Co. Kerry].

He [Neil O’Shea] managed to get stuck into a good fish [above] before the 11 o’clock tea break. At 10:50 the fish was guided over the net and boated. The salmon fell for a 13cm rainbow Rapala lure….
13cm lure?
We’ve all fallen for one of those, in fairness.

MORE to folly.

Long shot, but if you could appeal to readers, if they know any folk who were in IKEA [St Margaret’s Rd, Ballymun, Dublin 11] between 7.15–8.15 last night who may have happened to find some art prints, a photo and some gift cards could they let me know.
We don’t care about the vouchers, but the prints have a lot of sentimental value and similar to one of these by Esther Breslin. I’ve contacted the artist too just in case. One of the pictures is of a cat flushing itself down a toilet.
Anyone?
The State’s commemorative €2 coin to mark the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising.
Designed by Emmet Mullins who sez:
“The coin features a depiction of the statue of Hibernia on top of the GPO where she has witnessed the events of 1916 and watched the growth of a nation since the Rising”…
Coin in its own presentation case yours for a greasy till fumbling €15.
RISE!

You may already be familiar with the productivity sapping Google Maps Streetview Player.
Input any two locations. Allow a little load time, then watch a timelapse-style journey (composed of stapled-together Streetview images) from one location to the other.
And that’s the rest of the afternoon sorted.

In celebration of the up-coming release of Zoolander 2, we’re putting on a screening of Zoolander (2001) that embraces its zany fashion and tongue-in-cheek humour. The audience can pimp an old t-shirt at the make-and-do station, make themselves ridiculous at the blue steel lipstick table or have our makeup artist Katnka transform them.
Host Mugatu will be there to challenge walk-offs, judge the ‘Blue Steels from the Ferraris, ‘Le Tigres’ and ‘Magnums’ and give a prize to the most ridiculously well dressed — all before the screening.
Any excuse
