Get all 3 mustards AND a Judy Greene Mustard pot for just €25. A gift that certainly cuts the mustard!

What you may need to know:
1. A wealthy academic is cursed with an insatiable thirst for human blood after coming into contact with an ancient African artifact which belonged to a tribe who all died suffering from the same affliction.
2. It’s another kickstarted vampire movie. However it is not a vampire film. It is about “human beings who are addicted to Blood. Funny, Sexy and Bloody. A new kind of love story (and not a remake of 1972’s Blacula).”
.
3. It is a re-imagining of Ganja and Hess (1973) and examines all sorts of themes.
4. The film is billed as a romantic horror comedy but there is not much to laugh about in this trailer.
5. Filming was wrapped up in 16 days. $1.4 million does not go far in Martha’s Vineyard.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Brooklyn will always be best.
Release Date: February 13, 2015

Jonathan Corrie (above) and the doorstep on Molesworth Street (top) where he was found.
Via The Kilkenny People:
The only harm Jonathan Corrie ever did was to himself.
Many of us who knew him through the Kilkenny District Court know what his family went through and how they did all in their power to help him.
They were always there in the body of the court, willing to go bail for him, whenever he needed them to do so. However, from an early age he was gripped by alcohol and then drugs. It was his way of coping and his way of masking his shyness.
Jonathan Corrie was a fine cut of a man when he was young always in a T-shirt, he never felt the cold.
He was extremely quiet, a bit of loner. He didn’t seem to understand what was going on in court when he was being prosecuted for being drunk and disorderly or petty theft or rather had he decided at an early age, that he himself was a lost cause. Looking back, it is simple to see now, that Jonathan Corrie didn’t fit in.
…From 16 years old onwards, he was a regular in Kilkenny district court and whatever petty crime he was responsible for, he owned up to it. There was absolutely no guile in him and I always felt that he was a tortured soul and really didn’t understand the world around him. The supports were not there for him.

Why So Sour?

Further to calls for an increase in the price of milk.

Why does Irish milk bought in ireland go sour within a couple of days of purchase? If you buy milk in Germany, for instance, the milk will still be usable after five days in the fridge. Irish milk has bits in it before its sell by date. WHY?
Anyone?
