We’ve come up with our annual Law Ball music video and we’d like to see what you think….
Hopefully it’s not as cringe as last year’s one and we might get some action on the night.
Action on the night?
Or no action?
Only YOU can decide.
This year’s ball takes place at Dunboyne Castle, Co Meath on February 10.

Sex Siopa, the non sleazy irish online shop for bedroom toys and whatnot.
Now state approved!

There’s been a press embargo till this morning, but something really awesome happened last week that I’d like to share with Broadsheet.Last Thursday SexSiopa.ie was presented with an award from the IE Domain Registry by Alex White T.D., Minister for Communications, Energy, and Natural Resources.
This makes us the first sex shop in the history of the State, possibly the world (at least that’s what my initial Google searches have lead me to believe) to receive an award from a government official.
The other businesses who won with me this year were; makeawish.ie; kilkennyhostel.ie; loveachill.ie; jfsports.ie; dublintaxitransfers.ie; weldons.ie; partymad.ie; backstage.ie; donegalshop.ie; extremeireland.ie; missionpossible.ie; stonechat.ie; office.ie; houseofireland.ie. I’d encourage all small businesses to apply for the award this year.
LUBE!

What you may need to know:
1. Julian Michaels (Bruce Willis) has designed the ultimate resort where anything goes and customers can play out their wildest… Oh sod it. Let’s just talk about Bruce Willis.
2. Remember the last time Willis was good? Neither does he.
3. It’s hard to pin down exactly when Willis stopped caring, but following The Jackal (1997) with Mercury Rising (1998) probably didn’t help.
4. Willis couldn’t appear more disinterested in this trailer if he followed the camera with both middle digits extended for the entirety of his screen time.
5. If he insists on doing guff like this, then Willis should be contractually obliged to defend it in an endless loop of un-air-conditioned press junkets until he has a professional epiphany.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Bruno hits bottom and keeps digging.
Release Date: TBC.

Photos of a bioluminescent bloom by Noctiluca scintillans plankton on the Hong Kong seashore last week.
For all its ethereal beauty, the phenomenon, known as ‘sea sparkle’, is caused by pollution (in this case, agricultural runoff) disturbing the dinoflagellate.

Any day now the British will yield,
Control of our country’s fourth field,
At least that’s what Marty,
Proclaimed to his party,
When all of their plans were revealed.

Sheer drops, rocky outcrops, unproductive, sterile, barren.
But enough about Karl’s beard.
