“Clamper warning Marlborough Street [Dublin] – small 24 hr clearway signs gone less than 2 weeks ago. Note the signpost behind 2nd car (you can’t see the sign as it’s pointed away from car) Parking bay markings still in place on ground and machine still takes money (which I paid) with no mention of clearway. And I still got clamped (see 1st car). Bit of a racket !!!!!”
Boo.
Hiss.
What you may need to know:
1. Because you demanded it… the pupils of St Bernadette’s and the madcap Mr Poppy (Marc Wootton) are back!
2. “Madcap” is never a good adjective.
3. “Comments are disabled for this video” is never a good sign.
4. Not sure if seeing Nativity! (2009) and Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger! (2012) are necessary for context, or if this can be enjoyed on its own merits.
5. Oh God… there’s a flashmob.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Jesus.
Release Date: November 14

Oh.
Karl Monaghan and John Moynes at last night’s Realex Fire Web Awards
In your office there’s work to be done,
But you’d rather lay low and have fun,
So you come here to meet,
The good folk of broadsheet,
Because we’re the best. We’re number one.

She really doesn’t care what you think about that.

…take a look at me and my friends travailing around Europe this summer.
They trekked, they danced, they jumped, they swam, they returned, they edited and they uploaded.
Fair play in fairness.
