As it is Bealtaine [festival celebrating Creativity as we age] Carlow Library service in conjunction with Carlow Regional Youth Services got together with teenage rappers GMC Beats to create some decent Irish rap!… Great fun was had making it and the talent of the participants young and old is obvious. As Librarians however we would recommend you not to act out what you might see in this video you may get shushed.

Steve asks:
Is broadsheet going to mention to jump in support for FG in the latest IT [irish Times] poll or are they only mentioned when the government parties see their support drop??
Busted.
How dare you.

What you may need to know:
1. It’s another Steve Jobs biopic, because anything Ashton Kutcher does can always be done better.
2. Local hero Michael Fassbender really rocks that turtle neck.
3. Doesn’t it look like The Social Network? Everything Aaron Sorkin writes is like The Social Network.
4. We can expect three, 30-minute scenes dramatising the half hour before Jobs goes on stage at a new product launch. Interesting. I hope it turns out better then the Newsroom. The three launches span 16 years of Jobs’ life.
5. Remember the Sony emails about this film? Angelina Jolie probably does. Sony then passed the film to Universal Pictures.
6. Danny Boyle is in charge now. He makes great films and opening ceremonies.
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: They took our Jobs
Release Date: November 13
