Spotted recently in Caen – a poster for Belgian crooner Frank Michael.
Savour, for you must, the unholy Roxy/poxy hybrid of Daniel O’Donnell and Bryan Ferry.

Limerick TD Patrick O’Donovan (Fine Gael) asked the new chairperson of the Road Safety Authority Liz O’Donnell at a meeting of the Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications earlier for her opinion on the increase of penalty points from two to three and if she thought the penalty was disproportionate.
If that’s the deputy’s attitude, what’s the point?
Name the O’Donnell jammer anyone?

“I left this black backpack with Openet written on it in a taxi drop off in Stocking Lane [Rathfarnham, Dublin] on Friday, November 7. Pick up was at Stephen’s Green rank at about 11pm. I’m offering a reward of €1,000. It contained gifts for my partner and a laptop with a lot of irreplaceable family photos, also iPod and sunglasses. Fortunately, the laptop can’t be sold as the hard drive is encrypted and would need to be replaced. Also, the serial number can be tracked as soon as it gets an open internet connection. The driver was a very pleasant African gentleman and may not have even seen the bag in the back so please if anyone came across this bag please contact me on 086 795 3523 or below”
Anyone?

Stylish, high contrast portraits of some of the attendees at September’s 10th Annual London Tattoo Convention by Photographer Andy Lo Pò.
What you may need to know:
1. A cyborg named Henry must save his creator from the clutches of an evil psychotic tyrant and his army of mercenaries.
2. It’s the first, perhaps last, ever POV action adventure film.
3. Bit of a woah moment there at 1.45.
4. The films director, Ilya Naishuller, made a popular music video in the same vein for The Biting Elbows, of which he is also the frontman, called Bad Motherfupper. This attracted the attention of Russian film director Timur Bekmambetov who asked Naishuller to make a feature length film in the same style.
5. It’s shot entirely on GoPro cameras using a sinister looking headset.
6. They are currently looking for $250,000 for post production on Indiegogo.com
7. Who knows, some people like watching other people play video games. Even when they star Tom Cruise.
8. Broadsheet Prognosis: Up, left, A, B, circle, star, fuppit.

The River Lee in Cork above the Jack Lynch tunnel
Eoin English, in today’s Irish Examiner, reports:
Toll fears have emerged again following confirmation last night that the Jack Lynch Tunnel in Cork is to be ‘privatised’ within months in a deal believed to be worth up to €12m.
The management of the tunnel, which has been maintained by the city council since it opened to traffic in 1999, will be outsourced to Egis Road and Tunnel Operation Ireland (ERTO), the company which manages Dublin’s tolled Port Tunnel.
