Anyone?
So you think you’re hard?
They tried to feed him alcohol, oysters dipped in formaldehyde, horse linament, and even rat poison, but his monstrous constitution overcame all their efforts. They even resorted to running him over in a taxi, but he showed up some days later looking for a drink.

Paddy Hayes writes:
‘Durable’ Mike Malloy was a lowly vagrant in depression era New York – a gang of unscrupulous associates took out life insurance on Mike and tried to kill him, but he just wouldn’t die. The extraordinary story of the Rasputin of the Bronx will be told on the documentary Deoch an Dorais on December 28 at 9:30pm on TG4.
It’s their favourite time of the year!

What you may need to know:
1. Set in 1983, ten years after the last one. McAvoy finally goes bald. Happens to the best of us.
2. Lots of new faces. Do we even care anymore?
3. Hugh Jackman’s hanging up his adamantium claws after 2017’s stand-alone Wolverine movie. His role here will probably amount to a brief cameo.
4. This is also the last time Jennifer Lawrence will have to paint herself blue. Well, for a role. What she does in her private life is none of our business.
5. Oscar Isaac’s big bad Apocalypse still looks pants.
6. Although the same was said about Evan Peters’ Quicksilver, and he was one of the best things in Days of Future Past (2014).
7. Broadsheet prognosis: X-Fatigue.
Release Date: May 19, 2016.
Marine Le Pen, leader of French National Front (FN) political party leader
At the weekend the National Front,
Almost pulled off one hell of a stunt,
But the left helped the right,
Where they led in the fight,
Le Pen fell in the heel of the hunt.
