Dopped through my letterbox in Dublin 7…I have two words for you: only the greatest local freesheet front-page editorial ever. Prepare to need a bit of a lie down.
The email [below] gently plopped into our inbox this morning.
It may be a scurrilous trick or, indeed, a delicious treat.
Either way Chompsky we felt it worth sharing for the day that’s in it.

1. They had a meeting on Tuesday (4 people in the room) they are going to put out that they are not metering. Person of 1 in a house will be sent a bill of €176.00, two people or more doesn’t matter how many they will be charged €276.00 per year, this will be released today id say, Now they are not going to mention that this is only for 2015/2016 to get the government through the election,from 2017 it will be metering and that will be over €500 per year. So we will be back to square one,
2. They have not received over 700,000 letters back it’s more like 600,00 now this IS including the no consent forms, they actually don’t know how many have signed up because ALL the letters are in a warehouse in Cork, so people that have filled in the forms, their PPS details are in an unsupervised warehouse. The reason being is because people sent back sh*t and bangers and other stuff in the letters,
3. The CEO’s contract was only ever 18 months and he will be paid 350k to leave…
Um.
Anyone?

What you may need to know:
1. Young coder Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) is selected to participate in an experiment by evaluating the human qualities of a breakthrough in artificial intelligence created by Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac).
2. This is Alex Garland’s first film as director, having previously written The Beach (2000), 28 Days Later (2002) and Sunshine (2007).
3. @1:31 – where do the batteries go?
4. The US trailer is a little more spoilerific. A little too spoilerific to be honest.
5. The next time Gleeson and Isaac will appear together will be in something called Star Wars: Episode VII. Nope – me neither.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Blade Runner (1982) meets Her (2013).
Release Date: January 23, 2015.

The 250th Le Cool Dublin cover.
By Edinburgh-based Irish illustrator and designer, Mica Warren.
Mica sez
I thought that something number based would be fitting for the 250th issue, I used that as my starting point. I’ve been reading a book about Islamic Patterns recently and the geometric grid structures that underpin them. So I thought geometry, maths, numbers, savage, I’ll have a whack at that. Using one of these grids I created the type for the cover. What’s amazing about these patterns and grid structures is that they can potentially repeat and go on forever, I would like to wish Le Cool the same kind of longevity. Happy 250th!

Spotted this morning on Westmorland St [Dublin]. Not everyone is cut out for Temple Bar.
In order to live a long life,
That’s free from all worry and strife,
Go out and ride plenty,
Of women. Find twenty,
Who’re willing and won’t tell your wife.
